It's just a minor question.

Well, say I want to overload the labels. I can use a macro to overload the "label" directive, it's no problem.

but what if I wanna overload simple labels like:

Code:

just_a_label:
  ; some code

I know I can use

Code:

label just_a_label:
  ; some code

but the code gets a bit messy with all that "label" there.

I tried with 'struc', but I can't use the name ':'.

i believe structure cannot be named ":" so you can't. you must find other solution

What exactly do you mean by "overload" ?

Well, you can 'overload' instructions if you use the same name.

Code:

macro mov p1*, p2*
{
 ; ...
}

And of course, you can overload the 'label' directive too (if you use the name 'label'). I want to add some things there, but I don't know how to do it with simple labels, like:

Code:

simple_label:

instead of

Code:

label just_a_label

or something like that Smile

this is "override" since we can only call the latest "mov" definition.

Not really, since you can use some ifs inside the instruction and use the previous definition according to that condition, etc..

anyway, override, overload... I don't really make differences between them Very Happy

I assume you're using the c++ terms and if so I think override would be the better term. I think we can say the mov instruction and most if not all instructions are already overloaded. They work with different parameters, registers, memory etc.
