Hi,

I'm struggling using a constant (defined with EQU or "=") as function name. Example:

Code:

FUNCTION_NAME = FunctionPoly1

macro POLY_FUNCTION 
{
    proc FUNCTION_NAME 

        mov     eax, eax 
        ret

    endp
}


.code 

POLY_FUNCTION

But I get the following error:

FASM: error : undefined symbol 'FunctionPoly1'

Is it possible to do a similar approach? Where I defined a CONSTANT and it will be used as function name?

Thanks!

If you use EQU instead of "=" it should work correctly. An EQU defines a textual substitution.

Hi Tomasz,

Thanks a lot! Sorry, I tried before with EQU and it failed (I think I had another syntax error). I have tried with EQU and it works perfect! Sorry, my bad!

Thanks!!

Code:

macro f {
  display 'f'
  f equ g
}
h equ g
macro g {
  display 'g'
}
f
f
h

I got "Illegal instruction" at "g"?
