Code:
macro h name {
      virtual at 1
          db `name
          hash= 0
          repeat $-$$
              load C byte from %
              display C,13,10    ;debug
              hash= hash*5+C  ;<<<error here
          end repeat
      end virtual
      dd hash }

h 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvxyz_______________________     

This code generates compile-time error "value out of range".
If unroll cycle, all the same.

What's wrong?

Abyx,

hash value grows too big to fit in 64 bits used by fasm for constants.
Code:
h 0123456789abcdefghijklmno    
fails on dd hash for the same reason.

So "hash= (hash*5+C)and 0xFFFFFFFF"...
thanks, baldr
