I am relatively new to the fasm, so excuse me if I just do not understand something.

Fragment of code:

Code:

format COFF
include 'macro/proc32.inc'
section '.text' code
public test1  as "_test1"
proc test1 a:dword, b:dword
local c1:dword
        ret
endp

fails to assemble, producing error message:

Code:

flat assembler  version 1.67.9  (215266 kilobytes memory)
pub.asm [6]:
local c1:dword
<PATHTOFASM>/fasm/win/INCLUDE/macro/proc32.inc [262] local [40]:
       match , done@local \\{ varname vartype
error: illegal instruction.

But it looks, like this code do not contradict the documentation.
Furthermore, this code assembles successfully if either

Code:

public test1  as "_test1"

Code:

local c1:dword

is commented out!

Code, using locals assembles normally:

Code:

format COFF
include 'macro/proc32.inc'
section '.text' code
public test1  as "_test1"
proc test1 a:dword, b:dword
locals
ci      dd      ?
endl
        ret
endp

Result:

Code:

flat assembler  version 1.67.9  (212249 kilobytes memory)
3 passes, 110 bytes.

I have tested this using fasm 1.66 and 1.67 under WindowsXP.

P.S. Some mistypes were corrected during editing Embarassed

You must type DWORD in capitals.

Code:

format COFF 
include 'macro/proc32.inc' 
section '.text' code 
public test1  as "_test1" 
proc test1 a:DWORD, b:DWORD 
local c1:DWORD 
        ret 
endp

Thank you for the quick and useful answer Smile

Using capital letters really helped, by I am still wondering, why it do assembled without public directive...

because then the "test1" symbol wasn't used, so the procedure didn't even try to be assembled.

but i think it isn't mentioned in manual...

weird that it requires capitals, I think I saw Tomasz saying somewhere here on board that he'll change it to accept lower-case too? And iirc it wasnt very long time ago like within 4months or so Neutral
