Hi all,

I want to create a macro that creates a "standard" function for some routines that I use. Example:

Code:

macro CREATE_STANDARD_FUNCTION FunctionName, Param1
{
  FunctionName proc Param1
  
     local my_var:DWORD, output:DWORD

     pushad 

     ; some code

     popad
   
  FunctionName endp
}

The problem is that I cannot generate the string "local" as it's a keyword used inside macros. How can I output also the "local" string?

Thanks!

Use the escape backslash:

Code:

;...
 \local my_var:DWORD, output:DWORD
;...

The same rule also applies to the other macro directives: reverse, forward and common.
