Summary of solutions to common errors in compilation

Assembly error set

This article is reproduced from https://www.cnblogs.com/cway/p/12794979.html The author is whxway. On this basis, this paper sorts the errors for easy search

Already had ELSE clause

ELSE statement already exists Use more than one ELSE statement in a condition block

Angle brackets requored around initialized list

When defining a structure variable, the initial value is not enclosed in angle brackets ()

Block nesting error

Nesting error A nested procedure, segment, structure, macro instruction, or repeating block that ends abnormally For example, in a nested statement, there is an outer closing statement, but no closing statement

Inner concluding remarks Bureau 1

Byte register illegal

Instructions requiring word registers use byte registers For example, the operand register of the pop instruction must be a word register

Circular chain of EQU aliases

A symbolic name defined with an equivalent statement and finally returned to point to itself For example:

A EQU B

B EQU A

Cannot override ES for destination

The destination operand in a string operation instruction cannot be replaced by another segment register

Cannot address with srgment register

The instruction looks for an operand, but the ASSUME statement does not indicate which segment register is associated with the segment in which the operand is located

Cannot use EVEN or ALIGN with byte alignment

BYTE is selected in the positioning type of segment definition pseudo instruction, and EVEN or ALIGN pseudo instruction cannot be used at this time

Constant expected

A constant is required

Cannot emulate cooprocessor opcode

8087 coprocessor opcode not supported by emulator

can't open ml.err

Copy the following to a document named ml.err and add it to the project directory

Copy code: 1234567891011213141516171819202122232425262728293033132334353637383940414243444546474849505152535455565758590616263646566676869707172747576777880818283848586878889992939596979810010110210310410510610710810911011111211311411611111120121 122124125127128130131132134136137138139140141142314445146714814915015152154156156157158159161616162164165 166167168169170171172173174175176177178179180181182183184185186187188189190191192193194195196197198199200201202203204205206207208209210211212213214215216217218219220221222223224225226227228229230231232233234235236237238239240241242243244245246247248249250251252253254255256257258259260261262263264265266267268269270271272273274275276277278279280281 LANGUAGE-VHDLFATAL

Data definition pseudo instruction statement

Divdsion by 0 or overflow

Divide by 0 or overflow

End of file,not END directive

The source program file has no END file

Extra characters on line

There are redundant characters in a sentence line, which may be due to too many parameters given in the sentence

Field cannot be overridden

An attempt was made to set an initial value for a field that is not allowed to be modified in a statement defining a structure variable

Forward reference illegal

Illegal forward reference During the first scan, an undefined symbol is referenced

Forward needs override or FAR

Group name must be unique

The group name should be unique The symbol used as the group name is used as another symbol

Internal error-Register already defined

This is an internal error If this error occurs, please note down the condition of the error and contact Microsoft using the Product Assistance Request form

Improper align/combin type

Positioning type / combination type usage error in segment definition

Illegak use of undefinde operand( )

Indefinite operator "improper use. For example," DB 10h dup (2) "

Illegal use of external

Error using external symbol

Illegal value for DUP count

The number of repetitions before the operator DUP is illegal or undefined

Illegal public declaration

An identifier is illegally specified as PUBLIC type

Index displacement must be constant

The displacement of index addressing must be constant

Illegal register value

Illegal register value The value of the expression register in the object code exceeds 7

Immediate mode illegal

Immediate addressing is not allowed For example, "MOV DS,CODE", where CODE is the segment name, and the segment name cannot be transferred to the segment register DS as an immediate number

Illegal size for operand

Error using operand size (bytes) For example, use a double word memory operand

Illegal uer of CS register

Segment register CS is used incorrectly in instruction For example: "MOV CS,AX"CS cannot be the destination operand

Illegal use of register

Illegal use of register error

Improper uer of segment register

Segment registers are used where segment registers are not allowed Such as "SHL DS,1"

Jump out of range by %ld byte

The jump range of conditional transfer instruction exceeds - 128 ~ 127 bytes Error factory, the message gives the number of bytes exceeded at the same time

Lefe operand must segment

The left side of the operand should be the information of the segment If DA1 and DA2 are variable names, the following statement is wrong: "MOV AX,DA1:DA2" DA1 location

A segment register name should be used on

Label cannot have segment override

Segment prefix usage error

Must be in conditional block

Not in the condition block Usually there are ENDIF or ELSE statements, but no IF statements

Missing or unreachable CS

Try to jump to execute a label that CS cannot reach It usually refers to the absence of CS associated with the code segment in the ASSUME statement

Must be in segment block

must be in segment block

Must be declared during pass 1

Must be defined during the first scan This error occurs during the first scan if a symbol is referenced before it is defined

Must be record field name

Expected record field name Another symbol appears at the location of the record field name

Must be record name or field name

Expected record name or record field name Another symbol appears at the location of the record name or record field name

Must be variable,label,or constant

It should be the variable name, label, or other information on the position of the constant

Must be stucture field name

Expected structure field name Another symbol appears at the position of the structure field name

Must have instuction agter prefix

There must be instructions after the repeated prefixes Rep, repe and repne

Must be associated with data

A code snippet related item appears at a location that must be related to the data snippet

Must be associated with code

An item related to a data segment appears at a location that must be related to the code segment

Multiple base registers

Multiple base registers are used at the same time Such as "mov ax, [Si] [BP]"

Multiple index registers

Multiple index registers are used at the same time Such as "mov ax, [Si] [di]"

Must be accumulator register

Other registers can be used where AX or AL is required For example, in and out instructions must use accumulator AX or AL

Must be index or base register

Instructions require only base or index registers, not other registers

Negative shift count

The shift expression value of the operator SHL or SHR is negative

Near JMP/CALL to different CS

Attempt to jump to an address that is not in the current segment with a branch instruction of NEAR attribute

Normal type operand expected

A normal operand is required

Override with DUP illegal

Error using DUP operator in structure variable initializer table

Override id of wrong type

An error occurred while setting the initial value in the define structure variable statement

Operand must be register

Expected register at operand position, but an identifier occurred

Operand must be segment or group

A segment or group name should be given For example, an ASSUME statement should specify a segment name or group name for a segment register and, not another label or group name

Variable name, etc

Operand must be type specifier

The type description of operands shall be given, such as NEAR,FAR,BYTE, etc

Operand not in current CS ASSUME segment

The operand is not in the current code segment It usually means that the destination address of the transfer instruction is not in the current CS segment

Operand expected

You need an operand, only an operator

Operand type must match

Operand type mismatch The length of two operands of double operand instruction is inconsistent, one is byte and the other is word

Operand must be size

The length of the operand (such as BYTE,WORD, etc.) should be specified Usually, PTR operation can be used to correct

One operand must constant

Operands must be constants

Operand must be in same segment or one constant

"-" operator is misused. For example, "MOV AL, - VAR", where VAR is the variable name and a constant should be involved in the operation Another example is the variable names of two different segments

Subtraction error

Operand combination illegal

Error combining two operands in double operand instruction

Operand must have segment

Wrong use of operator SEG

Phase error between passes

The error between two scans This error is given when a label gets different address values in the second scan If / D is used when starting MASM

Optional item to generate the list file scanned for the first time, which can help you find this error

Reserved word used as symbol

Use the reserved words specified in assembly language as identifiers

Redefinition of symbol

Symbol redefinition The same identifier is defined in two places When compiling the first scan, it is given in the second definition position of this identifier

This mistake

Reference to multidefined symbol

Directive refers to multiple defined identifiers

Symbol not defined

Symbol undefined, undefined identifier referenced in program

Symbol alread defined locally

An attempt was made to define an external identifier in an EXTRN statement with an identifier specified as an internal identifier

Segment paraneters are changed

The segment parameters are changed The same identifier is defined in different segments

Symbol has no segment

The segment attribute of the identifier is unknown

Symbol id already external

A symbol that is attempted to be defined within a module and is described in an external symbol directive

Syntax error

syntax error. Not a statement recognized by the assembler

Symbol is multidefined

Multiple definitions of symbols The same identifier is defined in two places When compiling the second scan, this error is given whenever this identifier is encountered

Symbol already defferent kind

Redefine a symbol as a different kind of symbol For example, a segment name is re used as a variable name definition

Type illegal in context

Illegal type specified For example, specify BYTE type for a procedure instead of NEAR or FAR

Too many valer for struc or record initialization

There are too many initial values when defining a structure variable or a record variable

Unkown type specifer

Unknown type specifier For example, type characters are misspelled, BYTE is written as BIT,NEAR is written as NAER, etc

Value is out of range

The value is too large and exceeds the allowable value For example: "mov Al, 100h"

Wrong type of register

Error using register

Garbled code after adding. 386

It should be Add. 386 after the model statement

If you use mask, there is an agreement here. For the program of dos16 class, you need to add a before the. 386 statement Statements such as model small; Otherwise, instructions will be created in 32-bit mode. If such code runs in 16 bit mode, it is naturally a big mistake.

Default value of simplified segment definition in small mode

After defining the stack segment, warning L4021: no stack segment still appears during compilation

terms of settlement:

Add STACK after segment definition

Here STACK means its type. For details, please refer to https://blog.csdn.net/sxhelijian/article/details/69338661 This article
