Hi

I have few questions. I am using fasm under linux.
Under MASM we can do this:

.data?
var1 byte 128 dup(?)

Is there equivalent under fasm? I try var1 rb 128, but this is not the same.

I forget what else i want to ask ...i have headache...sorry.

Why isn't the same?
It reserves 128 bytes starting from var1 address.

I hope your headache terminates soon

Well if i reserve 100,000 bytes my program will be 100,000 bytes greater.

you can only reserve bytes at the end of your file if you db 1 bytes after rb 100000 then all of your rb's will be db s

I don't understand you Matrix. Can you give me an example?

Thanks

stanks

sure


compile this:


now try to uncomment the 1 byte buffer with initial value of 9
ohh, my file growed large!
its because you declared a byte after a reserved block

Thanks

It works, but it doesn't work under gtk (linux). File is still 65000 bytes larger

stanks

linux version declares reserved bytes in your com file?

Yes i simply compile your example. When last line is commented file is 19 bytes and when i uncomment it, it is 65020 bytes. And i put all reserved bytes after db's, but no change.

Heh. Problem solved. Thank you very much Matrix. I put rb's in wrong section.

Thanks once again

stanks

Until i find another (better) solution this is ok.
