hey all.

is there any way to see what has been done in the various stages of the preprocessor? for example, what if i wanted to see what the code looks like after the first pass? or maybe even ask it to unroll all the macros.

for example, i'm looking at this:
invoke ExitProcess,0

i can go search for "macro invoke" and then look at the definition, but i still won't be sure what the output is during my compilation because of conditionals.

wouldn't it be sweet if i could get fasm to dump out a text file that shows me what the macro gets resolved to?

i have an idea that it would be simple, since it's just various stages of memory (i think) during fasm's work.... maybe a dreaded command line argument? or if not, a compiler directive?

(The links to this thread are in both "Important/Interesting Threads" and in the Macroinstructions FAQ).

which means, next time read FAQ first, then search, and THEN post

awesome tomasz, thanks. sorry for not looking harder!

Search macro forum, or see macro-faq thread, there is addon to fasm-preprocessor which shows output of macros.
