some weird problem ?? with 64-bit windows programming &

i was using version 1.65 for this assembly, so if the issue has been since resolved in latest release, i apologise for post.
i don't have internet access from home to check much info.

i think there might be problem with the parser for 64-bit instructions,
correct me if i'm wrong.

here is 32-bit indexing instruction

Code:

   mov  eax,[eax+4*ecx]

if i want to use the extended registers in 64-bit, like:

Code:

   mov  eax,dword[r12+4*r10]

this is ok, but if i want to do the following.

Code:

   movzx  eax,word [edx+2*r12d-2]

fasm complains with the error:

movzx eax,word [edx+2*r12d-2]
error: reserved word used as symbol.

fasm doesn't seem to recognise r8d - r15d
as valid 32-bit registers in this kind of addressing.

if i change edx to rdx & r12d to r12, the instruction
succeeds, but using edx & r12d is a legal instruction.

another thing is when comparing 64-bit values.

cmp qword [rsi+rax], 1234567812345678h
error: value out of range.

is it not possible to compare 64-bit values?
if not, can someone explain WHY?

also, why does an instruction like XOR ECX,ECX zero extend RCX?
32-bit ROL/ROR don't work this way, so why should 32-bit XORs,SUBs,ADDs..etc..
doesn't make much sense!!

is this maybe a bug in the cpu driver?
take this for example:

Code:

   or   rcx,-1            ; set rcx to 0ffffffffffffffffh
   inc  ecx               ; set rcx to 00000000000000000h
   dec  ecx               ; set rcx to 000000000ffffffffh

see what i mean?
how can an INC ECX set 64-bits, but a DEC ECX set
only 32-bits????
this has gotta be wrong!!

i was tryin to write this tcp application in 64-bit asm.
the error is below.
anyone have a solution?

Code:
