i am trying to use local variables (wc:WNDCLASSEX) inside the proc.

eg.
Code:
proc WinMain hinst, hprevinst, lpcmdline, ncmdshow
local wc:WNDCLASSEX
             mov     [wc.cbSize],sizeof.WNDCLASSEX
               mov     [wc.style],CS_HREDRAW + CS_VREDRAW
          mov     [wc.lpfnWndProc],WindowProc
         mov     [wc.cbClsExtra],NULL
                mov     [wc.cbWndExtra],NULL
                push    [hinstance]
         pop     [wc.hInstance]
              mov     [wc.hbrBackground],COLOR_WINDOW+1
           mov     [wc.lpszMenuName],NULL
              mov     [wc.lpszClassName],clsname
  invoke  LoadIcon,NULL,IDI_APPLICATION
               mov     [wc.hIcon],eax
      invoke  LoadCursor,NULL,IDC_ARROW
           mov     [wc.hCursor],eax
    invoke  RegisterClassEx,wc
          ret
endp
    

assembled with error

Code:
        invoke  RegisterClassEx,wc
D:\fasm\include\win32ax.inc [41] invoke [0]:
  \{ \reverse pushd <arg>
D:\fasm\include\win32ax.inc [37] pushd [27]:
      pushd <value>
D:\fasm\include\win32ax.inc [113] pushd [41]:
    push value
error: invalid value.
    

if i change the wc WNDCLASSEX as global variable, it assemble without problem.

so, is that i shouldn't use WNDCLASSEX as local variable inside a proc?

i tried

Code:
locals
wc WNDCLASSEX
endl
    

same error output too.

Replace the line with "invoke RegisterClassEx, addr wc".

Small explanation: address of local variable cannot be calculated at compile-time (addresses of globals can be), so you must tell FASM (actually, pushd macro) that you want to calculate this address at runtime.
Code:
invoke sth, addr foo    
generates the following
Code:
lea edx, foo ;although I'm not sure about used register
push edx
call [sth]

It is all explained here: http://flatassembler.net/docs.php?article=win32

Quote:

(address of global can be, as long as executable doesn't have relocations)

Just a small note, even with relocations you will still be able to use "mov reg, some_global", because the executable loader will adjust the immediate operand to point to the actual location.

Ahhh, yes... I was led astray by erros like this one:
Code:
if $ mod 2 = 0 ;suprise!
;...
end if
;...
section '.reloc' fixups readable discardable    
Anyway, thanks for correction.
