How would I make the latest 'proc' macro allow me to use "ret value", which would produce the code:
Code:
mov eax, value
retn

hmmm, didn't think of making a separate macro, was putting the macro code right in with the 'proc' macro.
thanks! I'll give it a try

Sorry, but I need something that works inside the 'proc' and 'cproc' macro(s), I need it to: mov eax, value:retn, not whatever it does now.

Replace ret macro from 'proc' with this:
Code:
    macro ret val
    \{ leave
       if ~ val eq
        mov eax, val
       end if
       if args
        retn args
       else
        retn
       end if \}

I don't think this will work with the latest macros, the proc macro has now been broken into 3 or 4 pieces.

I suggest you to use the other name (like "return" proposed above - I recommend it as the best solution), since "ret value" for MASM compatibility now mean the same as "retn value" - encodes the single instruction, as opposed to "ret", which unrolls the whole epilogue code. I will soon finish documenting new "proc" in the Win32 Headers documentation, and it will tell you also how to enable custom prologue/epilogue.

The solution proposed by Reverend will also work, if you decide to use the custom definition of "proc" macro. However I tried to make "proc" customizable enough without the need to change standard headers.

I've been using July 8 release of the proc.inc, which works with the mod i've been using for the past couple of months (allowing: ret value), and updating all other macros to the latest release. This seems to work good so far. using the 'return' macro means I would have to go through and change all my sources again. Like you said, I'll just wait until the documentation is finished and see if I can mod it myself.
Thanks to all anyways!!
