Title: why cannot use 'loop' as label name?
Post by: nobody on September 19, 2005, 03:51:28 AM

eg:

loop:
    inc ax
    jmp loop

>nasm test.asm
test.asm:1: error: expression syntax error
test.asm:3: error: expression syntax error

If  loop a remained key word of nasm?

"loop" is an instruction. Call your label "loop_top" or something.

Best,
