Hello,

use32
push 0F0000000h

It assembles OK with FASM.

use64
push 0F0000000h

[ERROR:] Value out of range.

Is this a bug or I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks.

In long mode 32-bit values are sign-extended into 64 bits when pushed, thus PUSH instruction with 0F0000000h immediate does push the 0FFFFFFFFF0000000h value on the stack. If you do PUSH 0FFFFFFFFF0000000h, fasm will generate the proper opcode, but if you want to push actually the 0F0000000h, it's impossible this way, since it doesn't fit in the signed 32-bit immediate range. Thus you should do it rather this way:

Code:

mov eax,0F0000000h ; this does the zero-extension to RAX
push rax
