SYMPTOMS
When the /LA option is used to show the instructions generated for the RET instruction, where the RET statment has a label on the same line and is contained in a PROC that has a USES clause, and/or parameters, the listing shows the original source line, including the label, after the POP instructions which are inserted by MASM. Running the program under CodeView, checking the object code generated for jumps, and checking the value of the label on the RET in the symbol listing at the end of the program all confirm that MASM is producing correct code. It is just the listing that is incorrect.
RESOLUTION
To produce a correct listing, change the code so that the label and the RET are not on the same line of source. In other words, change
JUMPHERE: RET
to the following:
JUMPHERE: RET
and the statement will appear in the correct location in the listing file.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MASM version 5.10. This problem was corrected in MASM version 6.00.
MORE INFORMATION
The sample code below illustrates the problem. Note: The the first three lines are necessary for using the "USES" directive.
Sample Code:
; Assemble options needed: none dosseg .model small,c .code myproc proc uses si di bp jz there there: ret myproc endp end ........................................................................ ; Incorrect listing file 1 dosseg 2 .model small,c 3 assume cs:@code,ds:@data,ss:@data 4 .code 5 0000 _TEXT segment 'CODE' 6 0000 myproc proc uses si di bp 7 0000 56 push SI 8 0001 57 push DI 9 0002 55 push BP 10 0003 74 00 jz there 11 0005 5D pop BP 12 0006 5F pop DI 13 0007 5E pop SI 14 0008 C3 there: ret 15 0009 myproc endp 16 end 17 0009 @CurSeg ends
