MASM Options

[Bieb]

I know the important assembler options are .x86, CASEMAP, etc., but are there any that aren't required and aren't often used?

[Tedd]

I use these

Code Select Expand


.386
.model flat, stdcall
option casemap:none


The last line 'could' go, but I like to use case sensitive names. I suppose you could remove stdcall, but then you'd probably have to specify it in each proc, so there's no point.
I don't think three lines is too much extra overhead :P

I'm almost the same as you but I have two slight variations -- both variations are so I can use extended instruction sets plus lower level ASM coding and control over stdcall in the libraries I write.

1st:

Code Select Expand


.586
.model flat, stdcall
option casemap:none


2nd:

Code Select Expand


.586
.model flat
option casemap:none

Robert,

I'm hope I'm interpreting your question correctly.
