typedef syntax

[TouEnMasm]

Hello,
I try to write something like  "GAMMA_TABLES typedef  BYTE 256:dup(?) "
Don't seem to be the good syntax,Help!

Maybe this workaround

Code Select Expand

??GAMMA_TABLES struct
  repeat 256
    BYTE ?
  endm
??GAMMA_TABLES ends

GAMMA_TABLES typedef ??GAMMA_TABLES

Why so complicated? Sorry, just curious...

I remember some time ago doing a "typedef madness" demo and with much the same comment now, more often than not, typedefs add to confusion at the expense of comprehension, a mindless attempt to drag the clarity of assembler programming into the morass of C compiler clutter.

Code Select Expand

;Method 2 to create an array named GAMMA_TABLES
