CREF Generation Problem ID Number: Q11906

4.00 MS-DOS buglist4.00

Problem: If you use the command “MASM file,file,NUL,file;” and then “CREF file,file”, the cross-listing of line numbers for symbols become all “1”s. Also, CREF lists both the definition (with # symbol) and definition (without #) in the cross-reference listing.

Response: The problem was corrected in the Macro Assembler Version 5.00. In the meantime, always request a listing file when a CREF file is desired. The numbers in the cross-reference listing refer to the listing, not to the source, so it is useless to request a cross-reference and not a listing.
