Hey, I want a Macro which i can give a Label value and a String.
the macro should append the String at the End of the File,
so that all strings are collected at the End.

sh when i type

[some code]
string lbl1,"Hallo Welt"
[some Code]
string lbl2,"Test123"
[some Code]
macro write_string_here

i get
[some code]
[some code]
[some code]
lbl1 db "Hallo Welt"
lbl2 db "test123"

I have a little bit of Code, but it doesent work.
with string i create a String

Code:

macro string strName,value

{

   str_Name equ strName

    str_Value equ value

     if ~ defined str_Count

     str_Count = 0

        end if

  str_Count = str_Count + 1

}

and with restore_String i want to write the Strings all there.

Code:

macro restore_String

{



      rept str_Count

      if ~ used str_Name

        restore_String_pos = $

          str_Name db str_Value,0

         str_Name#.Size equ $-restore_String_pos

         restore str_Name

        str_Count = str_Count - 1

     end if

      end rept

}

the Problem is, that the equ-object "str_name" and "str_value"
is replaced by the First variable and because of that can't be
restored again.

has somebody any idea?

Kannst du uns sagen, warum deine Macro ist besser? Was macht deine Macro, was andere machen nicht? Or something, my German is probably even worse than English Wink

Ich bin in Deutschland geboren, aber ich bin nach Polen umgezogen, wenn ich zwei Jahre alt war. Ich kann nur das, was ich in der Schule gelernt hat.

Ich habe endlich die Macro wieder gefunden... Cool

Code:

macro @init {
  asize = 0
  alist equ
}

macro @str name,[args]{
common
 virtual at benny+asize
    name db args
    asize = asize + $-name
    name#.#len = $-name
 end virtual
  match items,alist \{alist equ alist,args\}
  match ,alist \{alist equ args\}
}

macro @build {
 if asize
   benny:
   match i,alist\{db i\}
 end if
}

usage

Code:

;---- code------
section ".code" code readable executable
 @init
 start:

 mov eax,alfa
 @str alfa,"ABC","EFG",0
 @str beta,"12345","6789",0

 mov ecx,alfa.len
 mov eax,beta
 mov ecx,beta.len
  ret
;----------- data follows at the end -----------
 section ".data" data readable writeable
   @build

Enjoy,
hopcode
Very Happy

Hallo Fanael,

1) Analyzing the cod3b453 macro i have seen that it has problems
with the .dotting capabilities of fasm. You cannot compile
my suggested code (as shown in usage) using that macro and dotted labels

2) Now Consider that symbols catenation, for example,

__string_table_\#i\#_name equ id

it is not using (imho) the best feature of fasm, considering other features
like load/store and virtual.

As you know, .dotting capability gives localization to labels.
(but not only).

3) Also, that macro applies almost 90% in a pre-procedural stage.
But as the macro begins to realize labels, it is to say

__string_table_\#j\#_name:

it is too late for the assembler to assemble code that have been
never addressed, (even if) being invoked. I would not use or recommend
taking advantage from that macro (i am not personally interested in the
matter when stating this,because i myself dont use anymore mine too),
unless cod3b453 improves it with a localizing-.dotting capabilitiy.

to cod3b453, how could the problem be solved in your pre-procedural way ?

to Fanael, Do you confirm the BIG difference ? Wink

p.s.
Note that I have written this post only for the sake of improving
my own capabilities to express and figure out in few words a problem.

Regards,
hopcode

Yes, my macros were lame Sad

They're just what I was using for one of my projects.
