Minus Operator Cannot Be Used with Relocatables ID Number: Q35106
1.x 3.x 4.00 5.x OS/2
Summary:
The Microsoft Macro Assembler does not evaluate relocatables using the minus (-) operator. For example, the following line incorrectly uses the minus operator:
lea ax,[bx - offset seltable]
MASM does not support the use of the minus operator because the linker does not support this fixup; it only supports the add (+) operator.
