SUMMARYIn the Macro Assembler (MASM) version 6.0 and later, the opcode for a JMP to a far address is shown in the listing file with the segment first, then the offset. In the actual .OBJ file, the address is stored in the reversed order (offset then segment). MORE INFORMATIONThe following is the encoding for the JMP instruction from the listing (.LST) file generated from the sample program below:
The above address for faddr (---- 0000) is displayed with the segment
listed first (----), then the offset(0000). Because the linker
resolves this address at link time, the actual segment and offset is
not known at assemble time, and is not listed in this file.
If you then look at the actual .OBJ or .EXE file produced by the above code (by using CodeView, for example), you will see the offset first in the file, then the segment. This is expected behavior with MASM version 6.0 and later and is designed to make the segment:offset more readable. This is different from MASM version 5.1, which displayed the addresses for far JMP instructions in the reversed (offset then segment) form. Sample Code
