Hi !
Here a macro

"Mov" op2 in op1

Use:

How to make in the macro not to be obliged to write size dword[reg+d] but just [reg+d]
By knowing always works there 32bits....
Thanks

3/4 of solution

better no ?
For many lines of code, it's less tired for fingers

You can use pushd and popd mnemonics.

ehm, how often do you move value between two memory variables? Me only very rarely and usualy through some register (and in place where all registers are used i usually dont move much data between two memory variables without modification)

Privalov thanks
I should look at my book of instructions from time to time
There is so for a long time that I did not use them that I have forgotten.

It is just a personal suitability and it is shorter.
I do not have to worry if a register is available or not.

macro movB op1,op2
{
push byte op2
pop pop op1
}

macro movW op1,op2
{
push word op2
pop word op1
}

macro movD op1,op2
{
push dword op2
pop dword op1
}

Untested guess ?
I'm not sure about PUSH BYTE [VAR]
but I've seen it before....

1. you have error in movB - pop pop
2. push byte [] is allright
3. isn't 'movv dword a1, dword a2' enough? (in fact, isnt writing push/pop without macros enough)

Hello,
1. I got to popping & did know when to be stoppin.
2. Definately untested code ideas.
3. The PUSH POP works for immediates & seg regs where MOV doesn't.
4. I got another big idea......

Today I thought I would try to solve the .asm code size problem.
One can't see the forrest through the trees with .asm code.
It's so spread out that a screen full doesn't show the goal,
it only shows a lot of push pop meaningless move instuction type junk.
Yet you can look at & decypher a C code screen for quite a while,
& see the full function, from beginning to end.
So how does one compress .asm code ?
My NC DOS editor allows any char 0-255 to be shown exactly like it is,
and it uses CRLF 13,10 for EOL where a .doc editor only uses LF= 10
BUT, Fasm & Nasm allow .doc style code as input.
SO, I can group many lines into one line
using CTRL+Q+J to make the LF char = 10
I try to get the rows of LF even, then add a comment & CRLF.
The lines are grouped according to their function as described by the comment,
and by "if they need a label or not".

I don't know the full implications of this yet?
One down side is my Fasm assembler line errors are different than my editor line count,
because it counts each LF=10 character as another line.
If there was a newline character in the Fasm assembler,
I could group lines like the example below.
It takes a bit of getting use to, to read fluently.
I like it & use it, but will it stand the test of time ?

Example below has 11 lines converted to 4.
The message board formatting doesn't allow LF=10 char,
so I substuted the | more char.
To try it, save as x?, then change the | to LF=10 with Ctrl+Q+J or Ctrl+J ?
With your Norton Commander editor
It almost looks like 3 instructions per line, makes 3 neat columns of code?



I was going to add a SHIFT+ENTER to my KBD TSR asm editor
that added a
space,LF=10,space
so I could group lines easily.

Just some ideas to kick around anyway.
