When my processess is defined as

why do I keep getting an error when compiling? I've already included the needed .inc files to enable the "proc" and "endp" macros.


The error it gives is


I don't even known what ..arg?TS is. I assume it is the output of one of the macros. I was expecting the first arg to be translated by the macro to EBP+8 and the second arg to be translated EBP+12. EBP+8 is valid, and would work, but ...arg?TS is not valid, so it obviously doesn't work.

When the macro is finished working the above line of code should look like:


These are valid. It means "Move the sum of EBP and 8 to the EAX register" and then "Move the sum of EBP and 12 to the EAX register". Why isn't the macro doing this?

You have to include the square brackets if you want to read the value. Or alternatively, you can use LEA if you want the address of the arg (unlikely to be useful) Actually, no, that is not a valid way to encode an add in Intel syntax. But LEA will do it. "lea eax,[ebp+8]"
