When I execute this program:
Code:
use32
macro exp arg                
 {  match comment=:value, arg \{
     display value
    \}
 }

macro loc arg {
  local ..name
  match name==val,arg \{
   ..name dd ?
   name equ ..name+INCOOP_PUSHDELTA
  \}
  if INCOOP_PUSHDELTA<>0
   match nme sttype,arg \{
    nme equ ..name+INCOOP_PUSHDELTA
   \}
  end if
}

INCOOP_PUSHDELTA=0

loc a=10
exp zz:[a]    

"display" gives out:
[.. name? 0000000+INCOOP_PUSHDELTA+INCOOP_PUSHDELTA]
(I know, that "display" in this form will produce an error - but I need to see the value of "value").
I considered, that if INCOOP_PUSHDELTA=0 then "if" was not carried out, and value must be equal
"[.. name? 0000000+INCOOP_PUSHDELTA]".
But, if the block "if" to lead to a kind
Code:
if INCOOP_PUSHDELTA <> 0
    nme equ.. name+INCOOP_PUSHDELTA
end if    

than all works as it is necessary!
How it turns out, that "match" works even inside false "if"?

MATCH is the directive of preprocessor, IF is the directive of the assembler - these are two separate things.

See note near the end of the section 2.3.7 of manual. Also Understanding fasm is a recommended reading (I hope to finish it some day...) Wink

PS. I forgot to also mention the answer to 4th question in FAQ, which is somehow related.
