ASM Community

Hello KetilO.

Santa comes early this year with some problems in the fasm config file. In the latest ( Santa thinks )  RadASM assembly programming pack  (09-20-2006)(880K), the fasm.ini contains:

1. Struct=},struc $

This should be:

Struct=ends,struct $

because the fasm manual ( 1.66 ) gives this example of a structure:
struct POINT
x dd ?
y dd ?
ends


2. 5=struc $,},,,6

This should be:

5=struct $,ends,,,6

and 7=struc,{I}{S}{{C}{I}{T},{C}{I}{S}}{C}

should be:

7=struct,{T},{C}{I}ends{C}

3. 6=proc,{I}{T}begin{C}{I}{T},{C}{I}{T}return{C}{I}{T}endp{C}

This should be:

6=proc,{I}{T},{C}{I}{T}ret{C}{I}endp{C}

A procedure doesn't have a "begin", and "return" should be "ret".
Also these could be defined:
8=.while,{T},{C}{I}.endw
9=.repeat,{T},{C}{I}.until

4. 2=if,endif,elseif,else,0

This should be:

2=.if,.endif,.elseif,.else,0
Fasm has also the ones without a dot, but I have seen them only in macros, and "endif" is "end if", "elseif" is "else if" in macros.

Also it would be nice to add
7=.while,.endw,,,0
8=.repeat,.until,,,0

5. 1=if,{T},{C}{I}end if
2=else,{T},
3=else if,{T},

They are correct, in macros, but I think they should be:

1=.if,{T},{C}{I}.endif
2=.else,{T},
3=.elseif,{T},


Also it would be nice to have:
8=.while,{T},{C}{I}.endw
9=.repeat,{T},{C}{I}.until

The attached file contains the original fasm.ini with the above modifications.

Santa thanks you for the wonderful IDE and has 3 suggestions,and a question:

1. It would be nice if structure members were listed for a structure-in structure. ( confusing, isn't it ? )
Here is what I mean:
struct twopoints
p1 POINT ?
p2 POINT ?
endp

tp twopoints ?
mov tp.p1. <---- here dropdown with POINT members
Fasm allows this (tp.p1.x)

2.  Would be nice if the toolbar wasn't stored in the registry.

3. It would be nice if the List of procedures, structures, etc... in the "properties" window auto-refreshed itself when changing active files ( if it is set to display only selected project file ). Currently, the "Refresh" button has to be pressed after swiching files.

4. What is the license of RadASM? I see that many components and controls of RadASM are open-source, most of them created by you. Is RadASM entirely open-source?

Merry Christmas
