what about removing this old bug in highlighter?

Code:
mov eax,0xANY_ALPHA

It's not a bug - any word starting with a digit 0-9 is treated as a number by assembler (even when it's invalid number as in your example), and fasm doesn't allow you to use it as identifier. So it's good when highligher shows you that what you have written will be treated by compiler as a number.

sorry but i thought it would be better to highlight it in some way [eg. red background]

Is WDM's supported under 9x, NT, or both. Will the LE format ever be supported, if needed?

I noticed the change while comparing binaries compiled with 1.49 to ones compiled with 1.50.

fasm now generates the checksum for all PE files - that might be the difference.

I also noticed the use of %t in the resource macros.

Let me reword my question. Can I create a driver for 9x, NT, of both OS's using the WDM format. Or is LE the only format for making a 9x (98 ) driver?

I reviewed my compares, and I believe all differences are accounted for:
Checksum, compile time (expected), resource dates, and the enter upgrade

Can the format directive in \fasm\INCLUDE\WIN32AX.INC be conditional? I have several Win32 console programs, and I had to comment out that line in the include file.

Hey, I noticed the thread CONTEXT structure has magically disappeared from the kernel32 equates. It was there in v1.49, so I was just wondering where it went and why...

Oh, and thank you for another fine release! Very Happy

Dear Privalov:
I have a short advice for the fasmw. Why don't the start window show maximize? I think that it maybe fit the work on.

Code:
;fasmw.asm--313 lines
mov   [hwnd_main],eax
     ;Kevin Zheng[011004]invoke      ShowWindow,[hwnd_main],SW_SHOW
      invoke  ShowWindow,[hwnd_main],SW_MAXIMIZE      ;Kevin Zheng[011004]
        invoke  UpdateWindow,[hwnd_main]    


And others, the asmedit control shows the unicode text normally, but it can't get the unicode text.
Thank you.

It's not a good idea. Not all likes maximized windows (me Razz). It would be better to remember the last state. It could be stored e.g. in fasmw.ini.

Actually FASMW stores last state of window (ie. its position and size) but if window is maximized, it doesn't remember it Wink I like working with maximized window, so I set its size and pos manually (that it fits the whole screen), not using "maximize".

It's the common timestamp (that is, the number of seconds since the 1st Jan 1970, 00:00), you can find an example of converting it into data and time here: http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=499&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=timestamp&start=15#3163

Hi, Privalov!

There are some macroses which may be done on the compiler side [yes, i mean optimization], eg.

Code:
macro mov arg1,arg2
{
  if arg1 in <eax,ebx,ecx,edx,esi,edi,ebp,esp>
    if arg2 eqtype []
      mov arg1,arg2
    else if arg2 in <eax,ebx,ecx,edx,esi,edi,ebp,esp>
      mov arg1,arg2
    else if arg2 = 0
      xor arg1,arg1
    else if arg2 = 1
      xor arg1,arg1
      inc arg1
    else if arg2=-1
      or  arg1,-1
    else if arg2 < 128 & arg2 > -128
      push arg2
      pop  arg1
    else
      mov arg1,arg2
    end if
  else
    mov arg1,arg2
  end if
}

Several of these optimizations have side-effects. For instance, a hand-coded "mov eax, 0" won't change the flags, whereas its size-optimized alternative "xor eax, eax" will. Because of the side-effects, such optimizations should not be done silently by the assembler. Instead, they are better kept in macros, where they are more visible. IMHO.

Regards, Frank

It is not good idea. Someone who will start programming in asm could think, that eg. mov es, ds is valid instruction.
