I'm writing a macro for simple vector math and need to know the type of variable that is passed. In the example below, I need to know what kind of variable fscalar is, a direct float 5.0, or a variable [fscalar]:

Code:

;Vector3 operator*(Vector3 v, Scalar a)
macro MULTVECTORSCALAR vectora, fscalar
      if eqtype fscalar, 1.0
         fldd    fscalar
         fld     st0
         fld     st0
      else
         fld     [fscalar]
         fld     st0
         fld     st0
      end if

      fmul    [vectora + D3DVECTOR.x]
      fstp    [vectora + D3DVECTOR.x]
      fmul    [vectora + D3DVECTOR.y]
      fstp    [vectora + D3DVECTOR.y]
      fmul    [vectora + D3DVECTOR.z]
      fstp    [vectora + D3DVECTOR.z]
}

Code:

macro type [arg]
{
  if arg eqtype 1.0
    display "It's a float constant", 13, 10
  else if arg eqtype 0
    display "May be an address", 13, 10
  else if arg eqtype []
    display "It is an address", 13, 10
  else
    display "It is something else", 13, 10
  end if
}

type 1.0
type aLabel
type 5
type [eax+ebx]

aLabel:

Why not:

Code:

struct D3DVECTOR
  x dd ?
  y dd ?
  z dd ?
  dummy dd ?
ends
;Vector3 operator*(Vector3 v, Scalar a)
macro MULTVECTORSCALAR vectora, fscalar
{
      pshufd  xmm0,dqword[fscalar],00000000b
      mulps   xmm0,dqword[vectora + D3DVECTOR.x]
      movaps  dqword[vectora + D3DVECTOR.x],xmm0
}
MULTVECTORSCALAR blah1,blah2

or compatibility-issues?
