Example:

void main()
{
   asm
   {
     mov EAX, offset q1; //#1
     lea EAX, [q1];      //#2
   q1: nop;
   }
}

line #1 generates "Error: .offset deprecated, use .offsetof".
line #2 generates "undefined identifier 'q1'"

DMC compiles the same example without errors, but #1 generates "mov EAX,0".

Probably documentation bugs (iasm.html):
1) Symbol $$ described as address instruction following the current  
instruction. Example from doc (jmp $$;) ouputs error "end of instruction",  
but "jmp $;" works (in dmc too).
2) Grammar fot the operands allows something like this "mov EAX%EBX+ECX,  
EDX-ESI+EDI". :)

Labels are in a separate symbol table from variables, hence they don't work 
in inline asm unless used as jmp or call operands.

The grammar is a mess, unfortunately it resists conversion to something like 
bnf.
