ok i have never used rb instead of db before, does rb mean i can redefine the variable or......


sorry if this is a pitiful question, i have found it in the documentation, wanted to know if this will be useful for my development

rb = reserve bytes. Same as: There is no effect on the label (if you have one), just the defined data.

I keep up better by using dd and db. It a matter of appeal i guest.

it just puts 100 spaces in the code?

Do I hear and echo?

It is important to modeling data structure, and allowing access through a symbolic address. Rather than explicitly stating the address of each reference we can represent the desired structure and let the assembler keep track of addresses and offsets. FASM also tracks the size of definition to catch common coding errors which use the symbolic name.

is this a better option in making buffers?

Better option than what?

is rb a better option for making buffers for getting keys and other stuff that needs stored in buffers

You're talking about gathering -up your security files or needing organization, etc? I really don't think it makes no difference, they both work!... but I would never overlook any previous response which carries it own weight in gold.

I like db and dd because as well as FASM, other ASM communities also carry thousands of top-of-the-line examples that will teach you *minumun* the advanced stuff so fast it's embarrassing. This is masm32.

I don't like preliminaries, I like light/warp speed, so I go one-below where the (real) action is

I like keeping things as simple as possible when it's time to translate, with-out the need of involving other lang to get a simple job done.

There's a difference because rb is uninitialized data, and might not waste space in your executable but only reserve once loaded in memory. On the other hand db will surely put that data in your executable.

That is wrong. See the second post above. db can also put uninitialised data

You know what I was talking about, putting values not question marks
