Bug in x64 with the S type indicator

[Yuri]

The S type indicator seems to be ignored in x64 if used as the scale value.

Code Select Expand


#if x64
    S=8
#else
    S=4
#endif

CODE SECTION

Start:
    mov rax,2
    lea rdx,[rax*S+4]
    invoke msvcrt:printf, "S = %d; rdx = %d", S, rdx
    #if ! x64
        add esp,0Ch
    #endif
    ret


Results in my tests:

Code Select Expand


x86 S = 4; rdx = 12
x64 S = 8; rdx = 6

Thanks. Correct, any defined symbol including S is ignored with only direct numerical scale values being processed in x64. I also see that 32-bit processing assembles without error if the symbol is not defined or defined as a string.

I have forwarded fixes for these to Jeremy to be incorporated into the upcoming GoAsm Version 0.57.

This version will also have a similar P type indicator (default 4) as mentioned previously here:

Thanks, Wayne. Yes, to have a separate type switch for pointers will be more convenient than one S for all purposes. :thumbu
