I need to get the label in front of the macro if any. In NASM you can use the %00 built in variable. I checked the FASM manual but I could not find anything equivalent. It does not have to be something similar as long as I can get that label.

For clarity, this is an example:

mylabel: MYMACRO p1,p2

I would like to access the string/label "mylabel" from the within the macro.

Thanks in advance

fasm uses a "struc" directive for such purpose, which is a special kind of macro that need to have a label before it. Also you do not add colon between the label and name of struc macro, just like you do not put colon between the label and data definition directive (like "mydata DB 1"). The struc label can be accessed with "." name. You use it like this:

Tomasz: Thanks for the quick reply. I need access to the label to implement LEAVE and ITERATE (break and continue in the C/Java world). When there are multiple nesting of, say LOOP, I would like to sometimes to target an outer LOOP instead of the inner LOOP. That is the reason I need access to the label, but not always.

So the LOOP macro would have an optional label in front of it, that could be the target of the LEAVE or ITERATE.

From your message I am not sure I can do it with a struct type macro since struct always requires a label.

Thanks again

PaoloR,

macro wrapper for struc is easy to implement. Moreover, macro versions of leave/iterate could take shortcuts if handling for innermost and other nesting levels is different.
