Assembler Doesn't Accept PUSH Immediate instruction

[PabloMack]

I just tried to assemble a push immediate instruction and the
assembler doesn't like it. The AMD64 Ref Manual Vol 3 says
that it should take a number, sign extend it and push the
resulting 64-bit number onto the stack. The immediate can be
either a 1-byte (Opcode 6A) or 4-byte (Opcode 68) value.

The error is: "Invalid combination of opcode and operands (or wrong CPU setting)"

;Empty Main Program

          .code
;********** Empty Main Program **********
main        proc

            push 28h

main        endp

            end

In 64-bit assembly programming, you cannot push immediate values to the stack :

    hwnd=CreateWindowEx(
        WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,
        szClassName,
        "Simple window",
        WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
        CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 480, 400,
        NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);

assembled as :

In 64-bit assembly programming, you cannot push immediate values to the stack :

Why not?

OK, a correction here : Poasm does not accept this :

Code Select Expand

\PellesC\bin\poasm.exe /AAMD64 Test.asm
Test.asm(5): error: Invalid combination of opcode and operands (or wrong CPU setting).

.code

start:

   push 12345678

   ret

END
