MATCH is powerfull FASM comand.
But very little information on MATCH instruction.
For example how the match work whitch FORWARD ?

I created my macro forw and using match. Match very necessary.
I would want that my macro (forw ) created this code:
mov eax,10
mov eax,20
mov eax,30
mov eax,40

This my macro:
macro forw cR,[arg]
{ forward
match dst*src, arg
\{
mov cR,src
\}
}

In section code:
forw eax,10*20*30*40

But i get asm code : mov eax,24000
I understend why this happend, but how to get my result using MATCH?

PS: I found bug in join strings:
if we using match like this:
macro ff[arg]
match dst=src, arg
\{
invoke MessageBox,0,`dst#" my label","ok",0
invoke MessageBox,0,`arg#" my label","ok",0 ;This work fine
\}
We get messagebox text "dst my label". But its wrong !

I appeal to Tomas. Tomas please help.

You need to escape the ` operator here, because when it is not escaped, it gets processed by outer MACRO, not the inner MATCH - so "dst" gets converted to string before the MATCH is processed at all. The correct line should be:


For your initial problem some recursive processing may be needed (like having a macro that redefines itself). MATCH itself does not have ability to performs loops, and FORWARD is meaningless in the MATCH macro block (it is allowed for symmetry reasons, but it does nothing, since each MATCH block has always just one set of parameters).

Thanks Tomasz.
Whatever it was Fasm best of the best.
Thanks Tomasz for the wonderful FASM.

And also you Tomasz can make new instruction. Who will be deprived of restrictions like Match instruction.

Tomasz please tell me that no one would have heard.

When in new version FASM will new instructions ?
