### ALP4514: No size for operand, assuming default

This message indicates that no operand size was given for the instruction, but the assembler was able to infer an operand size from the instruction itself. This message is only issued when the assembler is operating under MASM 5.10 emulation. In this mode, a default operand size is associated with certain processor mnemonics; this default value is used when no explicit operand size is given.

Recovery: An explicit operand size should be given for the referenced expression because the assembler is automatically resolving a potentially dangerous ambiguity in its selection of a default operand size.
