hey all.
are macros that can do expression evaluation supported ?
maybe something like this http://masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=94.0 ?

It’s not clear where on the page is the feature you’re asking for. There is some support for calculations in FASM macros but generally assembly-time features are enough for calculations.

fasm can solve basic algebra at assemble-time. And fasmg even more powerful. Given the 35 page post at the forum, it seems like you are looking for a code generator, though. If that is the case, why not just use a compiler then? A far more powerful tool for code generation.

SO from your question i GUESS that the answer is: 'NO it's NOT possible. look for a better assembler.'

I'm glad you are able to get around to what you are trying to say.

Expression evaluation is native in the assembler. No need for a macro to do it.

Code:

mov eax, 1 + 2 * (3 + 4)

and with variables ?

Yes. fasm is multi-pass and it can solve many expressions with variables or constants. Try it.
