Hi Tomasz!
Is it possible to add an "unrolling macros" feature to either fasm core or FASMW editor?
What I mean is being able to see what the code inside a macro would become.
Example:

Code:

macro say_hello {
invoke MessageBox,0,hellomsg,hellottl,0
jmp @f
hellomsg db "Hello!",0
hellottl db "Macro test",0
}

include '%fasminc%\win32ax.inc'

main:
say_hello
ret
.end main

Using unrolling feature at say_hello would show:

Quote:

push 0
push hellottl
push hellomsg
push 0
call [MessageBoxA]

Of course for this example it isn't very usefull, but imagine for complex macros!
I hope you consider this sugestion!
Thanks in advance!

Fasmpre is a great tool, I use it as often as fasm itself but like OzzY, I would love if it went that bit further and stripped everything back to bare bones .... it would certainly help if/when a debugger for fasm syntax is incorporated into the fasm package.

Hmmmm....., Tomasz has given us all so much and all we seem to do is ask for more ...... lucky Tomasz has a sense of humour huh Wink
