do - define oword
an oword is an 8-byte data type.

Code: [Select]
SECTION .data
blah do 0

is the same as

Code: [Select]
SECTION .data
blah db 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

and nasm occur error:

error: integer suppild to a DT, DO or DY instruction

and  DY ?

I would imagine the same, except being 256-bit for the YMM registers... where-as DO is 128-bit.
