Summary:
PROBLEM ID: MSM9109001
SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) version 6.0 may incorrectly
generate the following error when using a user-defined prologue
error A2114: INVOKE argument type mismatch : argument: x
(where x is an argument number). The sample code below produces the
following errors when assembling:
error A2114: INVOKE argument type mismatch : argument : 2
error A2114: INVOKE argument type mismatch : argument : 1
CAUSE
This error occurs only if an INVOKE directive immediately follows a
PROC statement.
RESOLUTION
If an executable statement or a label is placed between the PROC
statement and the INVOKE statement, the error does not occur. In
the sample code below, uncommenting the line preceding the invoke
will cause the assembler to generate a local label and the code
will assemble properly.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MASM version 6.0.
This problem was corrected in MASM version 6.0a.
