cmp [ebx],100h ; <==== ERROR: Operand size not specified.

BUT, IF use struct:

struct q
z dd ?
ends
...

cmp [ebx+q.z],100h ; <==== OK

It's not a bug, it's a feature (and try the same with "cmp [ebx+q.z],al").

In the first case FASM can't know if ebx points to a word or a dword. In the second case FASM knows that ebx+q.z is a dword because q.z is a defined dword.
