How can I check if 'i' is defined?
Code:
define i mov    


I can't use
Code:
if defined i    

Maybe match? But how to use it in this case?

Thanks! But I want to do something if 'i' is defined, not undefined.

Of course, I can write
Code:
define i mov
i_defined equ 1
match =i,i { i_defined equ 0 }
if i_defined
  ;
end if    

But it's too large code...

Code:
match =i , i { rept 0 \{ }
match ,
{
  display 'i is defined.'
}

In fact, if the case where something is not defined means an error, one might not need to care about making proper “else” “branch”:
Code:
match =i , i { 'Error!' }
display 'i is defined.'

Using irpv might suit better. It can also know of something is defined as itself. But it suffers from a problem of running multiple times if it is defined more than once.
Code:
define mov mov
irpv x,mov{display 'mov is defined'}
