I don't undestand, why, anythings about this, work wrongly:
Code:
macro onTest data,_exit {
  local ..end
  cmp data,0 ;only for example
  jz _exit       ;only for example
  invoke SendMessage,[MainForm],WM_DESTROY,0,0 ;only for example
..end:
}
macro doTest data,_exit {
  local ..end
  ;invoke MoveToEx,ebx,esi,0,0 ;but work true, if this is uncomments !!!
  onTest data,__end
..end:
}
; any codes...
  doTest  dword[ebx],entry_loop    


Help me, please, for undestanding this !!!
((Note please, for last comments...))

P.S. Sorry for bad english.....

Inside fasm "local some_label" will make the label "some_label?01234567" where 01234567 is a unique count value each time the macro is used.
Code:
macro onTest data,_exit { 
  local ..end ;<-- becomes ..end?00000000
  cmp data,0 ;only for example 
  jz _exit       ;only for example 
  invoke SendMessage,[MainForm],WM_DESTROY,0,0 ;only for example 
..end: ;<-- becomes ..end?00000000:
} 
macro doTest data,_exit { 
  local ..end ;<-- becomes ..end?00000001
  ;invoke MoveToEx,ebx,esi,0,0 ;but work true, if this is uncomments !!! 
  onTest data,__end 
..end: ;<-- becomes ..end?00000001:
} 
; any codes... 
  doTest  dword[ebx],entry_loop
    

Actually my notes above are not truly correct, the labels and made each time the macro is used not when it is declared, but I hope you get the idea.

BTW: you never used the ..end labels in your example.

revolution,
I was thinking at the same way Exclamation
But I have error message (symbol already defined) after compiling example above Laughing
And I have no error ( Idea ), after uncomments line, as noted above.

That was a really reason of this topic

BTW: That was simplified (very much) version of complex system of macros

Your macros can be minimised like this:
Code:
macro a {local z
z:}
macro b {local z
a
z:}
b     


I think this may be a bug in FASM. It gives symbol already defined error.

I'm not sure if this is intended or a bug, either way we will have to wait for the author to comment and/or fix.

Nevertheless, I decide to look at the source-code, before my own holidays Smile:

1) Function increase_counter (it is just text-counter for local labels) is called only from close_macro_block-function
And close_macro_block is called at the each repeates of macro_block, and at the and of macro.

2) Consequently, there are no close_macro_block call's between two local-macro_directives in above example

3) As indirectly test, null-macro (for example) before <local> macro_directive, or at the begining of each macro - remove error message in above example (I was checked up it)

4) Removing this code:
Code:
        push    ecx
        mov     eax,locals_counter
        call    increase_counter
        pop     ecx    

from close_macro_block-function to the begining of local_symbols-blok, fixed the BUG too...
For example:
Code:
local_symbols: ;line 1917 of PREPROCE.INC (I have v1.62-sources)
        push    ecx                ;this code is removed from close_macro_block
        mov     eax,locals_counter ;it seems, ebx is free for scratch this
        call    increase_counter   ;may be inlining ?
        pop     ecx                ;if eax is free, xchg eax,ecx should be faster
        lods    byte [esi]
        cmp     al,1Ah
        jne     invalid_argument
        mov     byte [edi-1],3Bh
        xor     al,al
        stos    byte [edi]
      make_local_symbol:
        ...................    


But it may be not correct at all cases Sad (although, I don't see in what - now I am only beginer in Fasm)
All of that, was for additional notes fom Author Smile
