Tomasz, hello again!
Please say some words about 'local' macro implementation, especially the way of defining typisized local variables in stack using 'virtual' directive. It will be very helpful for me to know how in different procs can be defined variables with same names without got 'symbol already defined' message. I think without your help i will not catch it.
Thanks and regards.

how about starting local name with "."?
Code:
proc a
local .loc
endp
proc b
local .loc
endp

Hi vid!
It is not needed, the following works fine, but i don't catch implementation

Code:
struct ASD

 A  dd  ?
 B  dd  ?
 C  db  ?

ends

proc A 
 local str : ASD
 mov eax,[str.A]
 ret
endp

proc B
 local a : DWORD
 local str : ASD
 mov eax,[str.B]
 ret
endp

 stdcall A
 stdcall B    


Regards.

The implementation abstract:
Code:
A:                      ; proc A
 virtual at ebp-4
  ..a?0001 dd ?
  a equ ..a?0001
 end virtual

 mov eax,[a]
 ret

restore a               ; endp

B:                      ; proc B
 virtual at ebp-4
  ..a?0002 dd ?
  a equ ..a?0002
 end virtual

 mov eax,[a]
 ret

restore a               ; endp

Of course it is the obvious decision, but i have made some experiments with your macro package and left only nessesary part. Please explain how it works:

Code:
macro deflocal@proc name,def,val
{
  local ..var
   ..var def val
   name equ ..var
}
 
macro do_local Name,Type,Pos
{

  virtual at Pos
   macro label . ; <- why label is redefined?
   \{
    deflocal@proc .,:, ; <- why it must be done with macro here?
   \}
   Name Type

  end virtual
}


struct ASD
 a   dd ?
 b   dd ?
ends

A:
 do_local a,ASD,esp+4
 retn

restore a

B:
 do_local b,dd,esp+4
 do_local c,ASD,esp+8
 retn

restore b    


Thanks and regards.

This is done this way so the structures can be put inside locals. The "struct" macro always defined main structure label with the "label" directive, so by re-defining the "label" here you can adjust that definition to your own.
Note that this means that "local" macro will work correctly with structures only if they were defined with official "struct" macro (from the same includes package).

Hi, Tomasz!
Please explain, why i got 'symbol already defined' error in this case?

Code:
macro deflocal@proc name,def,val
{ 
  local ..var 
   ..var def val 
   name equ ..var 
} 
  
macro do_local Name,Type,Pos 
{ 

  virtual at Pos 
   macro label .
   \{ 
    deflocal@proc .,:,
   \} 
   Name Type 
   purge label
  end virtual 
} 


struct ASD 
 a   dd ? 
 b   dd ? 
ends 

A: 
 do_local a,ASD,esp+4 
 retn 

restore a 

B: 
 do_local a,ASD,esp+8
 retn 

restore a    


Thanks and regards.

You did not restore the names for all the fields (including "a.a").

But this doesn't work too. Maybe some other implementation needed to restore the values?

Code:
macro deflocal@proc name,def,val
{ 
  local ..var 
   ..var def val 
   name equ ..var 
} 
  
macro do_local Name,Type,Pos 
{ 

  virtual at Pos 
   macro label .
   \{ 
    deflocal@proc .,:,
   \} 
   Name Type 
   purge label
  end virtual 
} 


struct ASD 
 a   dd ? 
 b   dd ? 
ends 

A: 
 do_local a,ASD,esp+4 
 retn 

restore a 
restore a.a
restore a.b

B: 
 do_local a,ASD,esp+8
 retn 

restore a    


Thanks and regards.

Oh, right, you also did not redefine "dd" to use deflocal@proc.
