 * Microsoft Macro Assembler 6.0 Standard Edition

This article was previously published under Q76078



SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) version 6.0 may incorrectly generate the following error when using a user-defined prologue

error A2114: INVOKE argument type mismatch : argument: x

(where x is an argument number). The sample code below produces the following errors when assembling:

error A2114: INVOKE argument type mismatch : argument : 2

error A2114: INVOKE argument type mismatch : argument : 1

This error occurs only if an INVOKE directive immediately follows a PROC statement.



RESOLUTION
If an executable statement or a label is placed between the PROC statement and the INVOKE statement, the error does not occur. In the sample code below, uncommenting the line preceding the invoke will cause the assembler to generate a local label and the code will assemble properly.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MASM version 6.0. This problem was corrected in MASM version 6.0a.



MORE INFORMATION
The following sample code can be used to demonstrate the problem.

Sample Code
; Assemble options needed: none

.MODEL large, C

cPrologue MACRO szProcName, flags, cbParams, cbLocals, rgRegs, rgUserParams LOCAL count count equ 0 exitm  ENDM

OPTION PROLOGUE: cPrologue
