The MASM Forum

Hi guys and gals.
Please explain the assignment of symbols "@@" in the code:


@@lPar:      dword
       mov       eax,[@@msg]
       cmp       eax,WM_COMMAND
       je       @@command
       cmp       eax,WM_DESTROY
       jne       @@default
       call       PostQuitMessage,       0
       xor       eax,eax
       jmp       @@ret


In this code the prefixed @@ is just part of the label name. In MASM you have what are called anonymous labels that are written as "@@:" which take a special reference "jmp @B" to jump to the previous @@: label or "jmp @F" to jump to the next @@: label.

Thank you
