Re: JWasm v1.9 - now 1.91!!!

It only displays "segmentation fault" if you feed it with erroneous
source. Experienced ASMers don't have bugs in their source. Try to
eliminate the errors and JWasm will reward you with a successful run.

"Deja moo." I've heard this bull before! :)

(In a discussion of whether RosAsm was "broken" to "not assemble a dictionary", someone fed a sonnet to several assemblers - Gas, for all its reputation as being "not fit for human consumption", picked out the word "in" and advised that the parameters weren't correct for "in". I was impressed!)

The segfault seems to be an Open Watcom issue in their Linux CRT. I've
launched a bug report to the OW newsgroup, perhaps something useful
might be the result eventually.

Excellent! I haven't got Open Watcom installed currently. Unless I'm mistaken, hpa is using it to produce the Windows/dos32 executables of Nasm. I think I once got a "nasm16" out of it (hard to build!). Interesting set of tools!

There is a preliminary JWasm v1.92 Linux binary available at

http://www.japheth.de/Download/jwasm192bl.zip

which has a workaround implemented for this issue.

Bingo! I got error messages from Dirk's code - fixed by adding ".386" (".286" - maybe ".186" - might have done it - complained about a shift by cl, for example...). I can't (presently) link it, but I got an object file that "looks okay". On the output of Agner Fog's "objconv" from "Herbert's Thingie", I get a cascade of errors, ending in "too many errors". This can be fixed, presumably. I haven't tackled it yet - probably will, I want to know why the C version is faster! Later maybe...

Thanks for the quick bugfix, Japheth!

Best,
Frank
