Hello guys,

I was wondering how ".break" could be implemented to be used inside the ".while" loop in FASM.

In MASM, we can do:

Code:

.while eax

   ; do something

  .if ebx == 0

     .break

   .endif

.endw

I can see that the ".while" macro is implemented in FASM (IF.inc file), but not .break

Any ideas how to do it?

Thanks!

Perhaps you can try this. Untested by me, just posting it here OTTOMH.

Code:

macro .break
{
  jmp __ENDW
}

sorry for bringing out late 2009 thread,

but why .break doesn't make into fasm official macro list?
i don't understand.

are we expected to type jmp __ENDW to exit .while
