Macro Paramters

[admin]

Can anyone help in Codewarrior macro paramters?

This is the Macro definition from the Avocet Assembler:

EEBYTES MACRO SYMBOLNM,SYMSIZE

SYMBOLNM EQU EECOUNTR
XDEF SYMBOLNM

EECOUNTR SET EECOUNTR+SYMSIZE

ENDM

I tried translating into Codewarrior assembly like this:

EEBYTES MACRO ;SYMBOLNM,SYMSIZE

\1 EQU \3
XDEF \1

\3 SET (\3+\2)

ENDM

However I come up with several errors. Anyone's help will be greatly appreciated

Hello,

Your macro seems to assemble as intended, with some attention to layout detail.  You do not identify the error messages that occurred, but primarily, the XDEF and ENDM directives must commence at other than the first column (the place where labels commence).  Additionally, the third parameter (EECOUNTR) must have previously been defined using the SET directive, so that it may be re-defined within the macro.

EEBYTES: MACRO ; SYMBOLNM,SYMSIZE
\1:      EQU   \3
         XDEF  \1
\3:      SET   (\3+\2)
         ENDM

Whether the colon after each label is present, or not, shouldn't affect the assembly process.

Regards,

Mac
