i was trying to create a debug event and wrote a struct with a union inside. just when i tried to use it as a local variable it wont work. heres the code. can someone explain why?

Code:
EXCEPTION_NONCONTINUABLE = 0x1
EXCEPTION_MAXIMUM_PARAMETERS = 15

struct EXCEPTION_RECORD
  ExceptionCode        dd ?;DWORD
  ExceptionFlags       dd ?;DWORD
  ExceptionRecord      dd ?;_EXCEPTION_RECORD*
  ExceptionAddress     dd ?;PVOID
  NumberParameters     dd ?;DWORD
  ExceptionInformation dd EXCEPTION_MAXIMUM_PARAMETERS dup ?;ULONG_PTR
ends

struct CREATE_THREAD_DEBUG_INFO
  hThread               dd ?;HANDLE
  lpThreadLocalBase     dd ?;LPVOID
  lpStartAddress        dd ?;LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE
ends

struct EXCEPTION_DEBUG_INFO
  ExceptionRecord  EXCEPTION_RECORD
  dwFirstChance    dw ? ;DWORD
ends

struct CREATE_PROCESS_DEBUG_INFO
  hFile                 dd ?;HANDLE
  hProcess              dd ?;HANDLE
  hThread               dd ?;HANDLE
  lpBaseOfImage         dd ?;LPVOID
  dwDebugInfoFileOffset dd ?;DWORD
  nDebugInfoSize        dd ?;DWORD
  lpThreadLocalBase     dd ?;LPVOID
  lpStartAddress        dd ?;LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE
  lpImageName           dd ?;LPVOID
  fUnicode              dd ?;WORD
ends

struct EXIT_THREAD_DEBUG_INFO
  dwExitCode            dd ?;DWORD
ends

struct EXIT_PROCESS_DEBUG_INFO
  dwExitCode            dd ?;DWORD
ends

struct LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_INFO
  hFile                 dd ?;HANDLE
  lpBaseOfDll           dd ?;LPVOID
  dwDebugInfoFileOffset dd ?;DWORD
  nDebugInfoSize        dd ?;DWORD
  lpImageName           dd ?;LPVOID
  fUnicode              dw ?;WORD
ends

struct UNLOAD_DLL_DEBUG_INFO
  lpBaseOfDll           dd ?;LPVOID
ends

struct OUTPUT_DEBUG_STRING_INFO
  lpDebugStringData     dd ?;LPSTR
  fUnicode              dw ?;WORD
  nDebugStringLength    dw ?;WORD
ends

struct RIP_INFO
  dwError               dd ?;DWORD
  dwType                dd ?;DWORD
ends

macro union [def]
 { common size@union = 0
          origin@union = $
   forward virtual
            def
            if $-origin@union > size@union
             size@union = $-origin@union
            end if
           end virtual
   common rb size@union }

struct DEBUG_EVENT
  dwDebugEventCode dd ?;DWORD
  dwProcessId      dd ?;DWORD
  dwThreadId       dd ?;DWORD
   .u: ;union {
  rb 96-(3*4);reserve union size then virtual all the structs at the union location
  virtual at .u;  EXCEPTION_DEBUG_INFO Exception;
    .u.Exception EXCEPTION_DEBUG_INFO
  end virtual
  virtual at .u;  CREATE_THREAD_DEBUG_INFO CreateThread;
    .u.CreateThread CREATE_THREAD_DEBUG_INFO
  end virtual
  virtual at .u;  CREATE_PROCESS_DEBUG_INFO CreateProcessInfo;
    .u.CreateProcessInfo CREATE_PROCESS_DEBUG_INFO
  end virtual
  virtual at .u;  EXIT_THREAD_DEBUG_INFO ExitThread;
    .u.ExitThread EXIT_THREAD_DEBUG_INFO
  end virtual
  virtual at .u;  EXIT_PROCESS_DEBUG_INFO ExitProcess;
    .u.ExitProcess EXIT_PROCESS_DEBUG_INFO
  end virtual
  virtual at .u;  LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_INFO LoadDll;
    .u.LoadDll LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_INFO
  end virtual
  virtual at .u;  UNLOAD_DLL_DEBUG_INFO UnloadDll;
    .u.UnloadDll UNLOAD_DLL_DEBUG_INFO
  end virtual
  virtual at .u;  OUTPUT_DEBUG_STRING_INFO DebugString;
    .u.DebugString OUTPUT_DEBUG_STRING_INFO
  end virtual
  virtual at .u;  RIP_INFO RipInfo;
    .u.RipInfo RIP_INFO
  end virtual
  ;} u;
ends

I see a little problem here, don't know if this fixes it though. Confused

Code:
struct EXCEPTION_RECORD 
  ExceptionCode        dd ?;DWORD 
  ExceptionFlags       dd ?;DWORD 
  ExceptionRecord      dd ?;_EXCEPTION_RECORD* 
  ExceptionAddress     dd ?;PVOID 
  NumberParameters     dd ?;DWORD 
  [here] -> ExceptionInformation dd EXCEPTION_MAXIMUM_PARAMETERS dup ?;ULONG_PTR 
ends    


That line should be:
Code:
ExceptionInformation dd EXCEPTION_MAXIMUM_PARAMETERS dup(?) ;ULONG_PTR

The way you defined it, it only defined one dword. The fix defined an array of dwords. Thats my best guess. Actually I think FasmW should have given you an error.
