PROBLEM
A
short
branch instruction to
the
next instruction (displacement of zero) ca.uses ASM error 254 (invalid
short
branch instruction).
The
code generated
is
ok.
The
manual
states
this error will result from this uncommon use,
however the error might be
better
called a warning since some compilers may generate this instruction.

PROBLEM
When complex types of pointers and records are declared in
the
compiler source, the order those types are
declared can cause
PDB
to
abort
with core dump. Any pointer types may have
to
be reordered.
