Is it essential for me to update FASM in the blitzMax bin directory. I remember seeing a post that recommended it but wanted to know if it would cause any abnormal behaviour in BMax?
Is it best to update?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Is it necessary to update FASM? Thanks :)
Plus it solves a problem with... was it a lot of variables, or very long pieces of code, or something? Mark's aware of it so no doubt the Max 1.11 update will have the updated FASM anyway.
I just tried changing to this fasm164 release, and although the executable size itself is identical between the two versions, a binary comparison shows that 17,877 bytes in the resulting executable are different.
Two seperate compiles using the identical version of FASM show a difference of 4 bytes with one another (I assume a timestamp gets put in there somewhere?)
- Are there other differences in the generated code that one should be aware of?
- Will the next update of BlitzMax use the latest version of FASM? (and if not, why not?)

What the... I noticed fasm was bigger than the version I had by around 20KB.
