Just to examples Smile

Code:

times (lbl-$+1) db 0
lbl:

Code:

lbl1: mov ax,bx
times (lbl2-lbl1) db 0
lbl2:

I think that FASM should show the error message when meet such expressions.

It shows the "code cannot be generated" message after reaching the limit of passes - in old fasm versions this limit was 255, and you had been getting such message quickly, but for the newer releases I have increased this limit to 65535 (to allow very large and complicated sources to be resolved), and your sample takes more time to assemble on each pass (because the number of data repetitions increases with each pass), so you have to wait really long for assembler to finish the whole sixty thousand passes - that's why it looks like hanging.
You can always change the limit yourself - just modify the line 120 of ASSEMBLE.INC file.
