I'm a newbie in assemble language.Today when i programming i am held by one curious mistake.I have written some simple codes to stand out the mistake:

Code:

include '%fasminc%/win32ax.inc'
 
 .code
    start:
        call testProc
       invoke ExitProcess,0
proc testProc
       .testLocal dd ?
     enter
       push eax
testGoto1:      
    mov eax,3
   mov [.testLocal],eax
        pop eax
     return
      
    .end start
    

the fasm compile output the compile error below:

Quote:

mov [.testLocal],eax
error: undefined symbol

But when I comment the label testGoto1:,the codes can be compiled ok.
the correct codes is below
What's the wrong i'am making?

proc defines global testProc label and dot before testLocal makes it child label of testProc, so it comes testProc.testLocal. Now when you define global label(no dot before it) testGoto1 it changes prefix to testGoto1 so after that when you try to access .testLocal it's same as writing testGoto1.testLocal.

Solution: use local labels(labels starting with dot) inside proc's. If you need global label inside of proc you need to use label beginning with 2 dots, it's global but doesn't change current prefix for the local labels.

You should read more about labels from fasm.txt
