I've been translating code in MASM to FASM and I've realised that in MASM intructions like:

Code:

fadd
..etc.

are coded correctly in MASM but in FASM it's not allowed that sintaxis, insteand of it I had to write:

Code:

faddp st0,st1   ; faddp insteand of fadd!!!
...etc.

the confusing thing is that the instruction isn't fadd, it's faddp!
the question is, Is it an error or sintaxis convention?

Use "faddp" without any parameters instead - this convention taken from Intel's manuals.

Try this macro to support the plain fadd

Code:

irp op,add,sub,mul,div {
        macro f#op [args] \{
                \common
                if ~ args eq
                        f#op args
                else
                        f#op#p st0,st1
                end if
        \}
}

Offtopic:
I just came to a realization why FASM is good in these cases. When other assemblers include a lot of features in the main assembler - FASM leaves those rare cases and one-time-wishes to macros that everyone can choose to include or disclude. FASM itself remains interoperable over all systems. Small and efficient.
