I'm converting a 32bit ddraw library to 64bit and everything was going fine, then half way through the conversion I started getting this error
Code:
'illegal instruction'
resource.inc - directory macro
ERROR: root@resource ..arg?6mT 0,%t,0,count?6ns shl 16     


so I though I would comment out all the resource code, then recompile. Now the same type of error is in the library directive.
Code:
'illegal instruction'
import64.inc - library macro
ERROR: ..arg?6mT 0,0,0,0,0    


does anybody have any ideas on what would be causing this specific error?

I couldn't find the code attachment in your post. How can we test it and fix it for you?

You should put a sticky note somewhere about that so you don't have to say it every time. Wink

Ha, Ha, I didn't post the code, I thought someone could tell me without the code! Very Happy

In the file OffScreenSurfaces there's a procedure DDFillPlain:
Code:
proc DDFillPlain  Surface, Color    

But Color is a structure, defined in gdiplus.inc.

Also you have other mistakes like comparing rax with too large values
Code:
.until  rax <> DDERR_WASSTILLDRAWING    

and using undefined structures (BltFillRectangle).

Thanks! Smile , you're right, Renamed the 'Color' Variable to ColorRGB and that fixed the problem. Why resource gave me an error I don't know. Fixed the other problems you mentioned also.

Because instead of defining the argument named Color the proc macro (defargs@proc to be more precise) expanded Color macro as a structure definition with parameters equ ..arg. Therefore Color macro in turn tried to define it's structure field with the initializer equ ..arg by doing dd equ ..arg. This however redefined the dd directive instead of defining the structure field. And the first place, where the dd directive was used afterwards, is the definition of the resource data directory in resource.inc.

That is a nice bit of detective work there. And it certainly shows why it is always important for everyone to post the code that is giving problems. We could have been suggesting reasons for days without success and the OP getting more and more frustrated at the problem.
