If one of the source files is zero bytes in length then it erroneously shows an out of memory error.

Who will attempt to compile an empty source?

Bug hunters, maybe. If your working environment opens the possibility for this then you can (and should) avoid that in your script. Compiling an empty source is non sense.

I know this was a stupid post, that is what ignorant and stupid people do.

Thank you!

I apologize for any inconveniences I may have caused.

It is possible that an included file may be zero bytes.

It is also possible to read zero bytes from a valid stub file.

Code:

format PE on 'STUB.EXE'

Why people would include an empty file?

And who will provide an empty stub file?

That is why you should always ignore stupid post made by stupid and ignorant people like me. It will never end. A waste of time.

Thank you!

The file might be auto-generated from another tool. Or perhaps some optional settings.

Code:

include 'optional_stuff_and_settings.inc'

Not an empty stub, but a valid stub is loaded in parts by fasm. After the header is loaded other sections can be empty.

Anyhow, there is no sense in leaving a bug there no matter how rare it might be that someone encounters it.
