is there any way to use a macro for replasing the mov register, value with register=value ?

Look here for some hints: http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=4638

Or check out this ready solution:

Code:

macro addxsyntax [reg]
{
  macro reg param
  \{
     define status 0
     match =0 ++ , status param
     \\{
        inc reg
        define status 1
     \\}
     match =0 -- , status param
     \\{
        dec reg
        define status 1
     \\}
     match =0 +==src , status param
     \\{
        add reg,src
        define status 1
     \\}
     match =0 -==src , status param
     \\{
        sub reg,src
        define status 1
     \\}
     match =0 ==src , status param
     \\{
        mov reg,src
        define status 1
     \\}
     match =0 any , status param
     \\{
        unknown syntax
     \\}
  \}
}

Code:

addxsyntax ax,bx,cx,dx

ax = 2
bx += 7
cx--
dx++

  \}
}

Code:

addxsyntax ax,bx,cx,dx

ax = 2
bx += 7
cx--
dx++

just fasm macro's code make a pretty damn powerful script language i think Shocked

Wow! FASM is more than an assembler! With the macros it can be used to build new languages, scripting languages, packers with EXE self-extractor using "file" directive, and other cool stuff...

After messing so much with C/C++, I think I'll come back to FASM again and study/use it exclusivelly for some time... I'll try to write some small utilities and post at "project and ideas" forum.

One of these days we'll end up having a set of macro that enable preprocessing of C or C++ code with FASM to produce assembly !!!

Just kidding Twisted Evil

but I really wonder why are these people trying to make assembly code like basic! Anyway it shows the power of FASM preprocessor Very Happy

Just wait, sooner or later someone will do it... Smile

(and it will do optimizations too Wink

Thomasz, Thank you for this post, I like the HLA type syntax at times.
I must be having a major brain fart because I cannot figure out the syntax of some of these more complex macros. I'm well familiar with the macro syntax of other assemblers (TASM, MASM, etc) but cannot, for the life of me, get my head around the FASM syntax. I've scoured through the documentation, examples, posts and tutorials but cannot figure out how these macros work. Would someone be so kind to detail in a step-by-step manner how these macros expand and are interpreted at assemble/process/preprocess time? Please no links! I've read them all and while many posts are very helpful, these are confusing to me.

Thanks in advance.

there is a fasm preprocessor which expands macros and dump the results to file. I often find it useful in understanding marcos. check it out here http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=4490
