i found this problem when using a structure, which has "du" inside, in local variables.
this code:
Code:
    local wfd:WIN32_FIND_DATA
...
    mov edx,[wfd.nFileSizeHigh]
    
compilable until win32u + encoding used. i know, it is because encoding macro replaces dwords in ready code, which is impossible with local data. so, i solved this problem for myself with this way:
Code:
    local wfd: rb sizeof.WIN32_FIND_DATA 
...
    mov edx,dword [wfd + WIN32_FIND_DATA.nFileSizeHigh]
    
so, it is not fatal just not handy Smile

shoorick,

May be we should replace du MAX_PATH dup (?) with rw MAX_PATH here and there? How often somebody expected to initialize those members in static variables? lpFindFileData is an [out] parameter of FindFirstFile() anyway…

another thing - how ofter assembly writers use real unicode with national characters? Wink

i'm using such structures in initialised section also when i have many members predefined and rare changed, if we will replace du to rw in structure definition, then it will not work correctly if preinitialized structure used.

to be true, i have not used cyrillic letters in predefined file names yet, but this is more common case - other structures win32 or own-made may work different in initialized and not initialized sections, and it is not good in general.
