Hi there,
sorry I'm kinda braintarded atm,
but how do I achieve the following?

Code:
macro xyz p
{
  if p is dword ptr
    mov eax,p
  else if p is byte ptr
    mov al,p
  end if
}

xyz [_abc]
xyz [_def]

_abc dd ?
_def db ?

I don't think, fasm provides a documented way to check the label size. However you could use the following workaround:
Code:
macro xyz p 
{
 local tmp
   virtual
             not p
               load tmp byte from $$
       end virtual
 if tmp = $f7
                mov eax,p
   else if tmp = $f6
           mov al,p
    end if
}

xyz [_abc]
xyz [_def] 

_abc dd ? 
_def db ?    

Note, that you'll get a compilation error, if p is not bound to a specific size.

smart, I'm kinda too close-minded to think of such a trick, thanks :P
Thought there might be sth like "p eqtype dword ptr" or similiar, though, but thanks :)
