About SIZE or LENGTH operators for defined in stack dates.2006-03-13 10:04:52 PM off-topic5 Hi. For structures I can use SIZE operator to determine size in bytes of a structure (IDEAL mode). For DB dates I can use LENGTH operator to determine the number of DUPlicated bytes. But what operator can I use for dates defined in stack? I mean the following. Let consider the code PROC SomeProc LOCAL @@cString:BYTE:10 mov ax,10 ; I'd like to use something as LENGTH @@cString or something else instead of the magic 10 Vladimir Grigoriev |

Thanks Bob
Of course I know about using equations. But I don't want to introduce numerous equations. I think that @@cString:BYTE:10 contains all needed information that might allow to calculate size (length) of @@cString. It is strange enough that I can use the following code DATASEG SomeBytes db 10 DUP( ? ) CODESEG mov ax,LENGTH SomeBytes ;as I guess this is equivalent to mov ax,10 but I can not use the same constructions for LOCAL variables.
