Hello there!
I'm trying to make sum with two length numbers using fasm.
But in the end of the program i catch exception which was mentioned in the title of the topic.
I wasted some hours to correct it and remade my program 3 times but every time i face this problem and only addresses of the error were changed.
Here is my code :
Code:
format  PE      Console 
entry   start                   

include 'C:\FASM\INCLUDE\win32a.inc'

macro set_ascii_code number, quantity_of_digits
{
        local looping
        
        xor ecx, ecx
        xor eax, eax
        xor edx, edx
        
        or ecx, quantity_of_digits ;Command loop will use register ecx
looping : 
        mov dh, [number + eax]
        or dh, 030h
        mov [number + eax], dh
        inc eax
loop looping
}

PUSH and POP must be in reverse order from each other.

BTW: For Windows you only need to preserve EBX, EBP, ESI and EDI.

Thank you.
Now i've got such code :
Code:
push eax
        push ebx 
        push ecx
        push esi
        push ebp
        push esp
        push edx 
..................................
FINISH :
        pop edx
        pop esp
        pop ebp
        pop esi
        pop ecx
        pop ebx
        pop eax

    

But anyway i'have got this exception in the end of the program.

It probably isn't a good idea to be PUSHing or POPing ESP. Also you can't use ESP as a general purpose register like that. Remember that ESP is the stack pointer so after you change it your stack is now lost.

Ouch i didn't think about that.
Will correct code using EDI.

Sloppysecond, it is better to use pushad and popad in your situation. It preserves/restores all registers in one command.

Thank you!
The problem was solved by changing using of ESP on the EDI.
I guess without you i would kill many hours to understand this.
Can you answer me on the theoretical question :
1)Why do we need to push some registers and after using pop them?
From that do we preserve them? From changing by other threads?
I have never did it before and used only ECX, EBX, EDX and EAX. But in this task more registers were needed.

When you PUSH you save the value on the stack, and later you POP to recover the original value. It is part of the Windows calling standard, all functions are expected to not corrupt EBX, EBP, ESI and EDI.
