Now available in the Download section.

This is the first stable release that supports the x86-64 architecture, but these new features generally don't affect any of the previously existing features.
As for the 64-bit output formats, only ELF64 (both executable and object) is available now, the Win64 formats are planned in the next stable release (which will be 1.62).

Also the $$ symbol has been added for a bit of compatibility with NASM and many performance optimizations have been applied.

can it be rebuilt without the 64 bit includes for those of us with a 32 bit cpu

From the 1.60 manual

Quote:
The instructions that are not allowed in long mode include also lahf, sahf and arpl.


My understanding is that the original AMD docs said that lahf and sahf were not implemented in long mode, but that AMD later decided to include them. I understand that Intel's current implementation of x86-64 does not include lahf and sahf. I haven't checked the latest AMD docs, though; this is just something you might want to double-check.

There is no need. All 32bit functionality is in 1.60 if I'm right. Smile

Yes, but not all 64bit compatibility is in 32bit processors. So if a program were compiled using 64bit includes, it would not be compatible with 32bit processors (I think).

I will repeat once again what I've already written above:
The new features don't affect any of the previously existing features.
A source that compiled with previous versions will compile in exactly the same way (the only problem might be that there are more reserved words in the new version, so if you used some labels called like new instructions or registers, you may have to rename them). This is exactly the same situation as when I was adding SSE or 3DNow! instructions.

Read about the SSSE principle here - it's consequence is that you should never have to worry about such things in case of flat assembler.

I have a problem with the syscall/sysret instructions. It seems that those aren´t supported in 32bit mode.

FASM 1.60 cannot compile the following but 1.58 can without problem.

Code:
_rand_mt        rd      25
        movq    mm1,qword [_rand_mt]

Sad I guess you was not aware of 1.59.x releases. I have patched the official 1.60 with the fix for this bug, but this what I wanted to avoid by making the "development" releases. I should make it more carefully next time.

It's a good message for fasm funs. But I think that fasm support DOS obj format maybe improve its usage on the programer world.

Thank Privalov's hard work.

I missed the announcement for 1.59.x. But now I see the it was under a topic titled "64bit ver close to done?". I never expected new releases to be 'hidden away' in such a fashion.

Since I don't have a lot of time to surf the forums I tend to rely on the thread titles to give me a quick idea if I night be able to contribute to a thread.

Anyhow, I would have been glad to test the 1.59.x versions if I had known they were there.

The development releases were not hidden - they were on the official "Download" page. But not announcing them properly on forums was my mistake.

Always check the Download Section. He had it plainly displayed.

rwalt, you are right of course. But it is not something I normally do to check a (mostly) static page each day for changes.

Perhaps once a week (if I remember) I will now check the download page for any updates.

Both Win32 versions are now packaged together.

Why there's no any mention about new testing versions? I visit FASM site quite rare, because I mostly visit this board with hope all news are also mirrored here.

When new releases are just bugfixes I used to mention them only in the thread where the bug was reported.
