i have (non-working) macro like this:

Code:

macro export size, [name] {
  common
    first equ 1
  forward
    match =0, first \{
      lib_name    equ lib_name # . # name
      export_name equ export_name # _ # name
    \}
    match =1, first \{
      lib_name    equ name
      export_name equ name
      first equ 0
    \}
  common
    if size eq
      public lib_name as '_' # `export_name
    else
      public lib_name as '_'#`export_name#'@'#`size
    end if
  forward
    restore export_name
    restore lib_name
}

i am going to use it to export symbols, like this:

Code:

export  4, err          ,text
export  4, process      ,exit
export  8, file         ,open
export   , stream      ,stdout
export 12, stream       ,write, d2dec

my problem is that i need to create string in form '_err.text@4' from arguments 4, err, text.

I first create equate holding err.text, and then i try to convert it to 'err.text', but this fails and i don't have idea how to do this Sad

shit, doesn't work even after escaping \#, because "#" cannot be used in equate definition (at least not in this manner).

grrrr, i think i need some sleep (it's 3:00 AM here)

     \}
    match =1, first
     \{
      lib_name    equ name 
      export_name equ name
      first equ 0 
     \}
  common
   match _export_name,export_name
    \{
     if size eq
      public lib_name as '_' \#\`_export_name
     else
      public lib_name as '_'\#\`_export_name\#'@'\#`size
     end if
    \}
  forward 
    restore export_name 
    restore lib_name
