Hi,
I am a newcomer. I have been using Masm for 30 years along with the Masm 32 SDK. I have also used GoAsm. I want to switch to 64 bit and I like the concept of Fasm but I didn’t understand everything. Could you give me information about the following points:
- is the linker integrated into the assembler?
- is there a resource compiler?
- is there a macro library like in the SDK allowing things like:
fn MessageBox, NULL, "You selected Test menu item", OFFSET AppName, MB_OK
instead of:
invoke MessageBox, NULL, addr Msg, OFFSET AppName, MB_OK

Thank you in advance

Hello, Calendos!

1. There's no linker in fasm/fasmg and personally I've never really needed one for any of my fasm/g projects. However, if needed you could use a linker of your preference.
   
2. GoRC is included in the fasm download package.
   
3. invoke in fasm supports quoted strings, so you could write something like "invoke MessageBox, NULL, "You selected Test menu item", AppName, MB_OK".

Thank you very much, Calanor a. These details suit me perfectly!
