Fix wrong size calculation for "Dx ?" larger than DB #19

@mebeim mebeim commented Nov 18, 2021

The size calculation done in len_extops() (called by insn_size()) for EOT_DB_RESERVE (i.e. uninitialized storage ? token) does not take into account the element size (e->elem), thus calculating a wrong size for any Dx larger than DB (DW, DQ, etc).

The bug is silent, but it makes NASM error out if a "Dx ?" (larger than DB) is followed by any label because the label offset gets mismatched in the final code generation stage:

$ cat test.asm
[section .bss]
DW ?
x:

$ nasm test.asm
test.asm:3: error: label `x' changed during code generation [-w+error=label-redef-late]

See also this StackOverflow question complaining about the problem.

Hi @cyrillos I see you also implemented a simple test that is supposed to run on Travis CI for this. However you have this repo registered under travis-ci.org, and their website reads:

Since June 15th, 2021, the building on travis-ci.org is ceased. Please use travis-ci.com from now on.

In fact, the last Travis build from this project was around 6 months ago. You should probably swap to the .com domain if you want your tests to actually run. Just wanted to let you know in case you weren't aware.

Thanks for pointing! Will take a look once time permit
