hello macro addicts.

just to try, define a macro as:

DA, define atomic bit
)
or
DO, define one bit

Code:

macro da [args]
{
local .bit
local .byte
.bit=1
.byte=0
.loop:
.byte=[arg.a]

arghhhh!!

and then, when i write it:

Code:

da 0,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0,0,1,1,1,0

it will be equivalent to:

Code:

db 10111100b,00011100b
;or 
dw 000111001011100b

first bit is the bit#0of the first byte.
8th bit is the last bit of the first byte.
may be usefull in bitmanipulation code

of course, a label cannot be defined for a bit. at least for byte.

if less than one byte (8_bits) are defined, one byte is defined. filled with 0.

i don't see how to do that with macro. but i'm sure it is possible.

thanks for help. Smile

revolution

Code:

macro defineBitMap [bit] {
common
local .bit,.byte
 .bit=1
 .byte=0
forward
 if bit <> 0
  .byte=.byte+.bit
 end if
 .bit=.bit+.bit
 if .bit>255
  db .byte
  .byte=0
  .bit=1
 end if
common
 if .bit>1
  db .byte
 end if
}

it's ok, cool, tanks a lot revolution.

da ,Define A(1) bit

or maybe,... bit?

bit 0,1,0,0,1,1,0,0

it works with this:

Code:

da 0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,1,1,1
dd 111000101010101111000011001100b

it generates two identical dwords.

cool,

but imho should be considered endianess,it is to say, the WYSIWYG factor, that simplify readability, it is to say the packing method db/dw/dd
I have written different of these bit packers. one is here
http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=9905
but not really improved as my new ones, that i cannot find at the moment

using reverse instead of forward is more WYSIWYG but not dd/dw
packed

Code:

 
macro defineBitMap [bit] {
common
local .bit,.byte
 .bit=1
 .byte=0
reverse
 if bit <> 0
  .byte=.byte+.bit
 end if
 .bit=.bit+.bit
 if .bit>255
  db .byte
  .byte=0
  .bit=1
 end if
common
 if .bit>1
  db .byte
 end if
}

Pretty clever mask-handling revolution, but the name '.bit' is confusing seeing as the parameter is already called 'bit'... maybe '.mask' or '.pos' or '.index' or something would have been more clear at first sight (took me a while to figure it out). Smile
