Description E. C. Masloch 2019-06-27 05:33:07 PDT

This came up during development when an %if accidentally received the sum of two symbols, instead of the delta. In that case, %error is effectively ignored.

$ cat test.asm
symbol:
%if (symbol + symbol) > 1
 %fatal Should not see this.
%endif
%error Should see this.
$ nasm -v
NASM version 2.14.03rc2 compiled on Jun  6 2019
$ nasm test.asm
test.asm:2: error: `>': operands differ by a non-scalar
