Code:

mov eax, neg 1000h

yes ... i could easily do it with "0-1000h"
but it would be more elegant, more "neat", with "neg". Wink

(never satisfied (me) ... yes, it is also true ! Razz

)

a little macro bitRAKE ? <-- Wink

Why not simply:

Code:

mov eax, -1000h

Or better:

Code:

mov eax, -$1000

Code:

macro mov dest,src {
  temp equ src
  match =neg num,src \{
    restore temp
    temp equ -num
  \}
  mov dest,num
}

...just off the top of my head. Wink

ouadji,

I've seen a = -1*b at least once.

----8<----
bitRAKE,

imul dest, src, -1 probably will handle all other flavors of src, then. Wink

Should that be: imul dest, src, neg 1? Razz

Okay, tag, you're it. I'll try to be the smart Dr. J but I'm not sure I can do it as well as you.

bitRAKE

Code:

macro mov dest,src {
  temp equ src
  match =neg num,src \{
    restore temp
    temp equ -num
  \}
  mov dest,temp
  restore temp
}

...fixed.

He aska for a macro I give 'em a macro.

The pattern works for all kinds of domain specific syntax tweaks.

"NEG fix -" woo, scary.

Actually, it would be trivial to add NEG to FASM's expression calculator.

Code:

single_operand_operators:
 db 1,'+',0
 db 1,'-',083h
 db 3,'neg',083h
 db 3,'not',0D0h
 db 3,'plt',0E1h
 db 3,'rva',0E0h
 db 0
