how would I add a '.then' to the '.if' macro?

This is how it would look:

Code:

.if rax = NULL .then call Error

or:

Code:

.if rax = NULL .then invoke  MessageBox, 0, "RegisterClassEx()", "ERROR", MB_OK or MB_ICONERROR

Wouldn't it be the same as the opposite of else? I think you can resolve it to a continuation of the .if statement.

Code:

macro .then [_cmd]
{
    if ~defined .if
       error 'then without if' 
    else
       ; this is where you resolve it
       _cmd
    endif   
}

Not an expert in this field. Just a suggestion

You can't process two macros on the same line. You would have to modify the .if macro to recognise .then and act accordingly.

Note that inline macros are possibly going to be in fasm2

Here is one way (quick hack):

Code:

macro .if [arg]
{
  common
  __IF equ
  local ..endif
  __ENDIF equ ..endif
  local ..else
  __ELSE equ ..else

  __THEN equ
  match A =.then B,arg \{
    JNCOND __ELSE,A
    B
    .endif

    restore __THEN
    __THEN equ ,
  \}

  match ,__THEN \{
    JNCOND __ELSE,arg
  \}

  restore __THEN
}

It all happens on the preprocessor side of things, so it might be a good general solution. BTW, thanks for making your work public, madmatt.

That worked great. Wish I knew macro programming this good.

No problem, always will be free and public.
