Is it possible to create struct/macro which would works as 'db', 'dw', etc. directives? I mean something like a 'typedef' in C.

Code:
if expr
  struc da x{
    db x
  }
else
  struc dc x{
    dw x
  }
end if
    

and then
Code:
a da 0x0           ; works
b da 0x0, 0x0      ; fails
c da 'bytes', 0x0  ; fails

Two problems:

1) you need square brackets.
Code:
  struc da [x]{ common
    db x
  }    


2) the if-else-endif block won't work the way you want. Both 'da' and 'dc' are always defined no matter what 'expr' is. This is a consequence of the preprocessor/assembler separation in fasm.

Oh It was only my writing mistake. I had mean:
Code:
if expr
  struc da [x]{
    common
    db x
  }
else
  struc da [x]{
    common
    dw x
  }
end if
    

Thank's a lot, but there is still a one problem:
Code:
var da 'text', 0x0 ; fails when da is dw
    

Is it possible to define wide characters?

Would it be possible to change this great topic to MACRO topics section ?

I have never been able to read MACRO topics Embarassed , and I will probably never be able to be involved with MACRO comments ... Embarassed
