replace dd with dq for 64 bits ?

[chrisc]

in the Assembly  language when converting from 32bits to 64bits,  do we replace DD  doubleword   with  DQ  quadword  ?
since the pointer addresses are in sys

as in the code below there are DD

Code: [Select]

$ filename "Gt.exe"
use rtl64
use corewin


'  For pointers
SYS  Sgp1
SYS Sgp2
SYS Sgp3
SYS Sgp4
SYS Sgp5
SYS Sgp6
SYS Sgp7
SYS Sgp8

the question is whether we need to replace DD with DQ  for 64bits ASM ?

[Charles Pegge]

Probably not. 64bit data is rarely used, and its pretty unreadable though o2 machine script will support it in a different format:

Code: [Select]

sys p=@mydata
print hex *(p+4)
end
mydata:
'dd 0x0405060708 0x00010203
o2 hq0102030405060708

Thanxx a lot, Charles
