Good job. I like to see small modifications like this.

Can you post just the differences (a patch type file) only?

Also, I didn't try it, but can the first instance of a file also use the "once" syntax? That is: do users need to worry about which include statement is the first, or can they just make everything "include once"?

Just some things I think people should be aware of before they decide to use it:

There is a limit of 254 files plus one pointer that must be kept as zero to terminate the search.

Also the path and case must be specified exactly the same else it won't match.
Code:
include once 'abc.inc'
;...

Well, then the patch is no-go. It's quite controversial by itself, whether it is a responsibility of the includer or the includee to ensure unique inclusion, or how "include once" should behave in relation to the normal include. And if it doesn't even make use of smth. like GetFileInformationByHandle, it's no better than the existing macros doing the same. In the current implementation it's actually worse.

I don't see why it is worse. But anyhow, knowing the limitations should be enough. Users can then decide if it is fit for their purpose(s). Having some sort of coding standard documentation for specifying file paths could help to avoid problems in one's code.

There's at least one technical reason (you mentioned) for that: the limit of 254 files. And the conceptual reason is that macros give more flexibility. E.g., if you have a (say "legacy") project using only include, then you can use my includecheck (it can be improved using irpv) to avoid include duplication without having to refactor the project.

And why should one introduce such a limitation for a native solution, if it is (contrary to macros) possible to avoid it?

Because Linux, Unix and Windows would break the code in different ways due to case and path differences. So keeping a standard naming scheme is already a desirable asset regardless of the availability of includeonce.

Provide an example. Without it it seems you are just ignoring what I say.

Files limit can migrate from $ff=255 -> $ffff=65535 :)

edit: look there to see how candidates are operated on

I didn't say, one should use full paths, but your suggestion is to introduce many more limitations. Say there's a library that includes its files using relative paths (similar to win32a.inc). Some files can be included as a part of the library or individually. The relative paths would be different. How restrictive should be your rules to avoid this?

That's not mentioning that soft and hard links are possible in both Windows and Linux. Taking that into account shows that C-style inclusion duplication prevention is the only correct way. Just consider what you'd do to compile a project making use of soft links on a system that has no support for them.

I agree. I never said this was a proper or complete solution. It is not. But if one wants to make to most of it then such self restrictions can help to make it less error prone to use.

I have nothing against some rules of project organization. I'm just saying that the only reason to implement "include once" natively is the ability to unambiguously identify files, and if even this advantage is ignored, then it's just useless.

Again, once is a user-typed hint to overcome standard behaviour of fasm.
It does nothing to fasm structures, keeping inclusion order as described in official manual.
What it really does: when fasm is just about including a file, once checks for its presence and does its job.

Damn!..
I'm glad to see you again!
According the topic, i solved to automate patching process.
The only condition - the Author not to change inclusion logics.
Right now it is 2/3 complete.
There it is.
And the stumble: how to analize preproce.inc guys?
Do we need to read&trim lines, or tokenize(that is heavy), extract lexems, how to mind the style (e.g. was movsb, became movs byte [etc]), or should we detect inclusion code and replace it all.
I donot know.
Tnx!

include once useless now.

test_it.asm:
Code:
include 'file_to_include_once.inc'
include 'file_that_includes_the_file_to_include_once.inc'
call something_from_this_once_file
call something_from_the_second_file
    


file_to_include_once.inc:
Code:
if ~ definite FileToIncludeOnceStillIncluded
...
end if
FileToIncludeOnceStillIncluded=0
    

file_that_includes_the_file_to_include_once.inc:
Code:
include 'file_that_includes_the_file_to_include_once.inc'
call something_from_the_once_file
    


definite keyword is a new feature and i like it.
