Did you read the link I posted above? FreshLib allows using "locals" macro inside the body of the procedure (with some special meaning). Or I didn't understood your question properly?

Do your macros allow for names without the dot, and give the user the choice to use them or not? If you force it then I'd suggest to make to more flexible for the user.

The dot prefixed labels is the native FASM way to define local labels. But changing "native" to "unnatural" is not my way to do things. I always wandered what people have against dot prefixed labels?

I was using your terminology of "common" variables. And I meant only the common variables in my above comment. The other overlapping locals is a separate thing. Note my usage of clocals/endl to differentiate it from locals/endl

But if they are "common" they need to be defined on "common" place in the source. The place between "proc" and "begin" is exactly such common for the whole procedure place.

Is this starting to look like Object Pascal?

So I'm guessing you are enforcing the layout of the proc with all common variables defined only in one place and all labels must have a prefix dot? If you want to encourage more people to use Fresh (as seems to be the case) then would it not be prudent to allow for other styles if people so wished?

Edit: Cross post with typedef. My comment was intended for JohnFound.

Fresh IDE does not require the use of FreshLib at all. It is easy to set whatever the user library prefer. Fresh IDE tools are not FreshLib centric and any report about compatibility issues with another set of libraries will be considered a bug, until is proved, that this feature can not be implemented for this set of libraries.

@typedef - The only thing that "looks" like Pascal in this case is the macro "begin" and it have nothing to do with the OOP library, it is inheritance from the "proc" macro syntax.

Anyway, how should "look" object oriented extension of assembly language?

P.S. If someone does not like the word "begin" he always can use:

Code:

start fix begin

Why must all parameters, locals, methods, etc, begin with a dot? It has nothing to do with anonymous labels. Why does the following require your HL begin and return keywords? Why can't proc and endp indicate the begin and end of procedures?

Code:

proc f, .a, .b, .c ; why this?
  begin
    ; ...
  return
endp
 
proc f, a, b, c ; instead of this?
  ; ...
endp

You can't justify it logically. You have no reasons, only personal biased (example: "Because FreshLib does it that way. I'd have to edit my library").
