Hi!

Anybody can explain this:

Code:

macro m name*,[args]
 {
common
        local nname
        nname equ ?#name#@@YGI ; ok, preprocessed: nname?0000000 equ ?fot@@YGI
        match a,args
        \{
                forward
                        nname equ nname\#I
                common
                        nname equ nname\#@Z
        \}
        match ,args
        \{
                nname equ nname\#Z ; wrong! preprocessed: nname?0000000 equ nname?0000000Z
        \}
                nname: ; nname?0000000Z: 
                 dd 0
 }


macro m2 name*,[args]
 {
common
        local nname
        nname equ ?#name#@@YGI ; ok: nname?0000001 equ ?foo@@YGI
        match a,args
        \{
                forward
                        match n,nname \\{ nname equ n\\#I \\}
                common
                        match n,nname \\{ nname equ n\\#@Z \\}
        \}
        match ,args
        \{
                match n,nname \\{ nname equ n\\#Z \\} ; ok: nname?0000001 equ ?foo@@YGIZ
        \}
                nname: ; ok: ?foo@@YGIZ:
                 dd 0
 }

m fot
m2 foo

What I must to do to receive actual new name without inserting this matches? Why without it I got glued local names, but not actual name?
Please, explain me this.

What do you mean by 'actual name'? (Sorry, perhaps I slept too short today...)

Oh, OK, I get it - the second macro is the one that works correctly for you, isn't it?
Yes, you have to do it with "match" - because concatenation can be done only by macro, the EQU directive itself cannot do a conctatenation for you.

your explaination doesn't clear for me, why this doesn't work (as expected):

Code:

macro a {
X equ something
X equ X#abcd  ;this doesn't append abcd to X
}

Concatenation operator is a line-maker operator, it is done while new line is generated by the macroinstruction. The EQU is standard preprocessor's directive, which are interpreted after the line is already generated. The line is thus generated by macro processor as "X equ Xabcd" and then preprocessed.

The MATCH is generally useful when you need to pass the contents of symbolic variable to the line-maker.

Hi.

I have another problem with macro parameters.

I want to pass parameter to macro and want to save it into temporary name to use later in another macro.

macro MyMacro param1, param2
{
temp_param = param1
}

but it generate error. Is there some way to define temporary global names whithin macro?

afw2004: "=" is assembly-time thing for numeric constant. use "equ"
