Fasmw 1.73

Code:

macro buu
{
  if ~ defined buu_int
       buu_int equ 1
       buu_a equ inc eax
       buu_a equ dec edx
       buu_a equ mov esi,1
       display 'a;;'
  end if
       buu_a
       restore buu_a
       display 'b;;'
}  

buu
buu
buu

fasm show a;;b;;b;;b;;
But get asm code:
mov esi,1
mov esi,1
mov esi,1

I expected :
mov esi,1
dec edx
inc eax

Mixing the assembler stage with the preprocessor stage is always tricky.

You can "fix" it with match

Code:

macro buu
{
       local here
  match =buu_int,buu_int \{
       buu_int equ 1
       buu_a equ inc eax
       buu_a equ dec edx
       buu_a equ mov esi,1
       display 'a;;'
  \}
       buu_a
       restore buu_a
       display 'b;;'
}

buu
buu
buu

However I would recommend you replace the whole section to use the more flexible irpv.

Thanks. Work.

I always forget about: assembler stage with the preprocessor stage is always tricky.
Its introduces me in perplexity.
