why this code works

Code:

proc procedure
endp
call procedure
procedure = 0
mov al, procedure

but this doesn't

Code:

call procedure
proc procedure
endp
procedure = 0
mov al, procedure

Neither of those should work, FASM doesn't have the word "proc" like MASM or TASM. However, I would guess it's probably because you have to declare the procedure first (MASM and TASM are dangerously close to being HLL's).

THEWizardGenius, I'm using the "proc" macro, both codes start with this:

Code:

format PE GUI 4.0
include 'win32axp.inc'
.code

The non working code fails to compile at the line "procedure = 0", the error is "already defined", but the first one has not that problem.

That was a small bug which caused assembler to think that "procedure" is just a numeric constant (which can be redefined when is not forward referenced) - I've fixed it and silently updated the 1.64 package on the website. Wink

Thanks for finding it out!

Jajajaja, OK. Now I tested the new FASM 1.64 SE (Silently Edition Razz

) and both codes doesn't works.

Thanks for fixing it! Very Happy
