Not being able to think well enough tonight. I was interested in knowing if there was anyway to implement a macro that you could do the following. I know it is in C.

Code:

enum RETS { RET_OK, RET_ERROR }

Code:

macro enum [rets] {
common
   count = 1
forward
   rets = count
   count = count + 1
}

enum RET_OK, RET_ERROR ; After this RET_OK = 1 and RET_ERROR = 2

macro enum lab, [rets] {
common
   count = 1
forward
   lab#.#rets = count
   count = count + 1
}

enum RETS, RET_OK, RET_ERROR ; After this RETS.RET_OK = 1 and RETS.RET_ERROR = 2

Don't know C so there's two versions, hope they'll do.

Thank you sir. They look okay ,but it is bed time. In C you never know what you enums are going to be unless you specify that starting point.

Here I can see that macros can be of fun too. They seem to be very helpful. But where on Earth can I find the "syntax" on macros. Again new macro that worked, but it again has some commands that I don't understand:(

Is there any possibility to "read" out of fASM's source, what is the possible syntax of macros in fASM

Have you read fasm.txt (or fasm.pdf in the windows package)?

Code:

macro _enum [arg, arg2] {
forward
    if ~ arg2 eq 
               arg = arg2
          count = arg2
        else
                arg = count
 end if
}

macro enum start, step, [arg] {
common
      count = start
       
forward
 _enum arg
   count = count + step
}

enum 1, 2, foo, <bar, 7>, foobar ; foo=1 bar=7 foobar=9

Here's extended version of the enum macro
