org directive parse errror for /f bin

Reported by: tonyb@sysdev.org Assigned to: peter@tortall.net
Priority: P2 Milestone: 0.5.0
Component: Preprocessor: 'real' NASM Version: 0.2.1
Severity: normal Keywords:

Description (Last modified by peter@tortall.net) 

YASM version 0.2.1
NASM version 0.98.36
Asm code in test is of type:

----------------------------
;comments
;comments
; .....
bits 16
org 0x100

section .text

BEGIN:
        mov etc, etc,
.
.
.

--------------------------

The following line works:

nasm /f bin -otest.com dazzler.asm
 (produces test.com)
The same invokation in yasm fails:
yasm /f bin -otest.com dazzler.asm

file.asm:17: label or instruction expected at start of line
NOTES:
1) nasm's /f obj or win32
produce the same error as yasm, however /f bin succeeds!

2) remarking the org 0x100 line allows yasm to produce
the correct test.com output.

Change History

  • status changed from new to assigned.
  • component changed from parser: nasm-compatible to preprocessor: nasm-compatible.
Initial investigation shows this to be a preprocessor issue.  NASM only defines
org as a macro when bin is used as objfmt (ditto with other objfmt-specific
macros).  YASM does not currently have a mechanism for handling this;
unfortunately these are the kinds of issues that are hard to solve the "right"
way within yasm's framework of multiple preprocs/parsers/objfmts, as there's not
one single macro format that we can assume to be in use.

As a workaround, use [org 0x100] instead of org 0x100.

Assigning to NASM-compatible preproc (really should be "real" NASM preproc since
we're using the real one at the moment).

  • component changed from preprocessor: to preprocessor: 'real' nasm.
A workaround has been implemented in r1.3 of modules/preprocs/nasm/standard.mac
in CVS.  Leaving this bug open until a real internal fix is implemented, but in
terms of user visibility, this is fixed (e.g. ORG now works as expected).
