Structures: error when overriding DUPs with strings

[Yuri]

Hi Jeremy!

The problem occurs when the string is placed on the next line after the continuation mark "\". For example:

Code Select Expand


Files STRUCT
InFile   DB 260 DUP 0
InSize   DD 0
OutFile  DB 260 DUP 0
OutSize  DD 0
ENDS


DATA SECTION

Sample Files  <"C:\temp.txt", 1024, \
                "D:\test.txt", 1024>


CODE SECTION

Start:
xor eax,eax
ret


Trying to compile this, I get the following error:

GoAsm.Exe Version 0.56.7 - Copyright Jeremy Gordon 2001/9 - JG@JGnet.co.uk

Error!
Line 11 of assembler source file (struct.asm):-
Faulty quoted string
DB

OBJ file not made

However, if the first element on the next line is a number, all goes well. Like this:

Code Select Expand


Sample Files  <"C:\temp.txt", \
                1024, "D:\test.txt", 1024>

Hi Yuri

Thanks for reporting this.

I would propose to add a fix for this to the version of GoAsm which I am working on at the moment, which will incorporate runtime conditionals.

Of course, Jeremy, take your time. This is in no case a big problem.

Hi Yuri

This has now been fixed in GoAsm (Version 0.56.8).
However, this new version does not yet support runtime conditionals, which I am still working on.
