I'm not allowed to use generic labels (or any labels at all!) inside of a repeat block, is there any way around it?

Code:

repeat 4
@@: ; "symbol already defined" error
end repeat

Code:

rept 4 {

}

Thank You! (probably one of the simplest question-response's I've seen)

Okay, I'm having troubles with the rept {} macro. I looked over fasm doc's for it, and it looks like it should work in my code, but now I get an error I've never seen before, "Incomplete Macro". Here's the full code I use:

Code:

macro MixColumns state { ; 46*4 instructions

 rept 4 counter
  {
    mov eax,dword[array_r]
    mov dword[array_a],eax
    shl al,1
    mov     [array_b + 0],al
    jnc @f                         
    xor byte[array_b + 0],GF_modulus
@@: shl ah,1

    jnc @f                         
    xor byte[array_b + 1],GF_modulus
@@: shr eax,16

    jnc @f

    xor al,[array_a + 3]

    mov    [dest + 0],al
    mov al,[array_b + 1]
    xor al,[array_a + 0]
    xor al,[array_a + 3]
    xor al,[array_b + 2]
    xor al,[array_a + 2]
    mov    [dest + 1],al
    mov al,[array_b + 2]
    xor al,[array_a + 1]
    xor al,[array_a + 0]
    xor al,[array_b + 3]
    xor al,[array_a + 3]
    mov    [dest + 2],al
    mov al,[array_b + 3]
    xor al,[array_a + 2]
    xor al,[array_a + 1]
    xor al,[array_b + 0]
    xor al,[array_a + 0]
    mov    [dest + 3],al
  }
}

the three array's and the dest array are here, using the counter var:

Code:

; procedure constants

array_a = Log   + ((counter-1)*4)
array_b = Alog  + ((counter-1)*4)
array_r = Temp  + ((counter-1)*4)
dest    = State + ((counter-1)*4)

It is part of some other things with GF that I've been experimenting with, but the "incomplete macro" error has me baffled. Until I find out what's wrong, I'll go back to looping for now.

"Undefined symbol counter"
It now does not recognize the counter symbol, the array symbols are working right (changed to "equ" instead of "=").

You have to define your "array_x" variables inside the rept structure. Use "=" not "equ".

Code:

macro MixColumns state {
 rept 4 counter
  \{
    array_a = Log   + ((counter-1)*4)
...

Works:

Code:

macro MixColumns state {
    rept 4 counter 
    \{
       ; constants
       ...
    \}
}
