Thank you for the detailed answer.

fasm works with a single instruction per line. Hence the name assembler. To make it into a compiler then the macro engine can be used.

Something tells me that one line

Code:

push  ax bx cx

turns into several

Code:

push ax
push bx
push cx

Is this also a macro?

Yeah, that is three instructions. push and pop are carry-overs from the era of TASM/MASM. I think they were included for convenience when converting code, and maybe to make the proc macro easier to make, not sure though.

So I guess its true that there is an exception to every rule. Smile
