Having problems with fstenv instruction using local variables for storage, when I do this:

local fpuenvtemp[28]:BYTE
fstenv [fpuenvtemp]

I get an "invalid size of operand"

Yes, madmatt is right, FASM generates error "invalid size of operand" for following code:
envdata db 28 dup (0)
fstenv [envdata]

but
label envdata_label
envdata db 28 dup (0)
fstenv [envdata_label]
is compiled successfully.

I think, the operand size isn't needed for fstenv, fnstenv, fldenv, fsave, fnsave, frstor, fxsave, fxrstor instructions in this situation.

vid: Yeh, I should've checked the intel docs before I posted, it only accepts a global (static) memory reference to work.

locodelassembly: after reading the post, looks like a $66 prefix is all that is needed a make it work, I'll have to try and see what happens.

Tried a direct approach: fstenv [esp + 48], also fstenv [ebp _48] and it compiled without error.
Why won't it work with the local variable?

But you can use the stack if you want

Code:

include 'win32axp.inc'

.code
proc start
local ..fpuenvtemp[28]:BYTE
label .fpuenvtemp at ..fpuenvtemp
  fstenv [.fpuenvtemp]

  ret
endp

.end start

Because fstenv needs a label with no type[/edit]
