Hi, all!
Please help me with such thing: suppose you have a set of functions which
can be coded in 2 ways (for example), and the choice of implementation depends on number of such functions - if it is only one such function in code first implementation should be used, and if more - another one. Is it possible to make such choice exactly where such kind of functions is declared, not after all declarations, in order to get its code at the place needed?
Thanks.

Just use forward-reference to access the symbolic constant defined at the end of code. Something like:

Code:

macro func
{
  counter@func = counter@func + 1
  if total@func > 1
    ; implementation 2
    nop
  else
    ; implementation 1
  end if
}

counter@func = 0






; program body


func



; program end

total@func = counter@func

Or did I misunderstood what do you need?

Thank for so quick reply Tomasz, but I need not exactly this - is it possible to get "implementation2" for all functions if counter@func > 1,
not "implementation1" for the first, and "implementation2" for rest? And only if "func" is the one in code - use "implementation1".
