Let's review.

First block:

Code:

        match reg =, =StupidSum =( num =), args \{
                mov reg, num + 5
        rept 0 \{\} ; <--- match ends here, this is its closing brace

Second block:

Code:

                    rept 1 \{
                mov args
        \}

There are no inner or outer blocks. They are two linear blocks one after the other.

yes in unsuccess match - match preprocessor block acts as every other preprocessor block - match closed at first valid closed bracket for that nesting level of preprocessor blocks. why it acts differ in success match?

Let's review the result after successful match:

Code:

               mov reg, num + 5            ; match outputs this line
        rept 0 {                           ; match outputs this line
                    rept 1 { ; <--- extra open brace has no effect. 
                mov args
        } ; <--- rept 0 closes here

I showed the next five lines encountered after match has finished. The preprocessor simply continues on to process those five lines as if you had typed then exactly like that.

Question not answered. Why preprocessing of success match differ from documentation, differ from behavior of any other preprocessor block, differ from match itself in unsuccess state?
Where missed } that I point - why it not closes match or rept?

It doesn't differ from the docs. It works exactly as described. Same behaviour.

Code:

match a,b {
 ; something
 rept 0 {
} ; finish match
rept 1 {
 ; other thing
} ; close either rept 0 or rept 1

behavior as described has only unsuccess match case.
Why in one case } - closes match and its inner block content, in other case same } not closes match and its inner block content?

If match fails then the output is

Code:

rept 1 {
 ; other thing
} ; close rept 1

If match succeeds then the output is:

Code:

 ; something
 rept 0 {
rept 1 {
 ; other thing
} ; close rept 0

why succes match case inner block parsed differently from everithing else that exist in preprocessor stage?

Code:

 ; something
 rept 0 {
} ;where gone this one bracket?
rept 1 {
 ; other thing
} ; close rept 0

";where gone this one bracket?"

That is the closing brace for the match block. Macros don't output their own braces.

Code:

 ; match a,b { ; starting match opening brace, not outputted only things inside the braces are output
 ; something
 rept 0 {
; } ; finish match closing brace not outputted
rept 1 {
 ; other thing
} ; close either rept 0 or rept 1

Thanks for your replies, but maybe I wasn't clear.
I used "mov" as an example, but I would need functions to be used with every instruction that takes parameters, without having to re-define each of them.

Code:

irp inst,mov,cmp,xor,add,... {
  macro inst ... \{
 ;...
 \}
}

There is an inline macro processor for fasmg: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tgrysztar/fasmg/master/packages/utility/inline.inc
Works with fasm 2, too. There is no such easy solution for fasm 1, though (see above post).
