Is there a way to make the "return" macro in the "proc" macro take an argument? This is would save me some time in typing.

Assigning a value to EAX and then "return"... Ain't that easy enough?

Should've included an example, I just want to do this: return eax, or something like return [ecx+edx*4]. It would be just a bit easier, that's all.

Code:

call _myproc, NULL

proc _myproc, lpParam
   mov   eax,[lpParam]
   add    eax,012345678h
   return
endp

In "%fasminc%/macros/stdcall.inc" you find "macro return %_", replace it with:
(untested)

Code:

macro return retval %_
if ~ retval eq
  mov eax,retval
end if
...

You can also check whether or not retval is eax...

Thanks Tommy! Just change the %_ to _% and it works good!
