It's not because of FASM it's because of PE format. Other assemblers simply hides this from you. The right approach is to put all your uninitialized data as last data in the section, to allow FASM to shrink the size of the section to only initialized data. Another right approach is to make one section for initialized data and one for uninitialized.

Code: format PE entry start section '.bss' data readable writeable BigOne rb 1024 EvenBigger rd 1024*1024 section '.text' code readable executable start: ret This will generate a 1024 byte large exe. I always try to put all my uninitialised in a section called .bss (it seems to be the common name for it, as for the code, sometimes i use '.code' others '.text' - is there some document on the naming of the sections, does it matter what name they have?) _________________ ... a professor saying: "use this proprietary software to learn computer science" is the same as English professor handing you a copy of Shakespeare and saying: "use this book to learn Shakespeare without opening the book itself. - Bradley Kuhn |
