are those macros can be done in other better asm ?

[jj2007]

with uasm the problem is much more big.
if i'm not mistaken you can use it at all except  for personal use (becuase its jwasm based)

Nonsense. UAsm is a tool, whatever you build using this tool is your own property, fullstop.

http://www.terraspace.co.uk/uasm.html

UASM's source code is released under the Sybase Open Watcom Public License, which allows free commercial and non-commercial use

Note this is about the UAsm source, not the binary.

correct . and this is what important to me

nonsense

from wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybase_Open_Watcom_Public_License)

The license has not been accepted as "free" under the Debian Free Software Guidelines, due to the license's termination clauses.

This makes the Watcom license also GPL incompatible and a stronger copyleft license than the GPL and even the AGPL

Hi whatsup,

You told that you don't have any project so why do you criticise those licencing schemes?

geniuos question

why do you buy clothes before your'e naked ?

Well, clothes are basically required to protect your body and this has nothing to do with programming. The purpose of my question :

Explain why the license of the UAsm source is important for you. Do you want to write your "own" assembler based on the Watcom sources?

another try:

for example you cannot use them as a dll

[Vortex]

You can try this one :

fasm as DLL

thanks i know. and that's why i asked if the macros by jj2007 can be done with fasm/hla/nasm.

[Vortex]

Sadly, Fasm does not support inline macros :

https://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?p=30424

[jj2007]

From the FASM author:

Tomasz Grysztar
No, inlining the macros is something against the fasm's concept

So it seems you have to either use the MasmBasic macros or you have to find "other better asm" to roll your own

[Vortex]

Hi whatsup,

Could you try SolAsm?

http://www.oby.ro/sol_asm/index.html

http://www.oby.ro/sol_asm/sol_asm_license.htm

7.6.7 Using EXITM in macros
EXITM can be used to return a token from a MACRO expansion.

For example
MACRO RV
   MARG func, params

   invoke func,params

   ; return something from macro
   exitm eax
ENDM

; later on in code
   ...
   mov   ecx,RV GetModuleHandle
   invoke   ExitProcess, < RV GetModuleHandleA >
   push   RV GetModuleHandleA
   ...

[whatsup]

thank you very much all.
i'll see what i  do.
i might ask in nasm forum.
and if no, uasm is a good choice .
i already tested it, and it works well.

vortex i don't see any good over uasm because it (solasm) doesn't include source code

[guga]

If you want a Nasm style syntax to better handle the macros, you can try RosAsm that have a syntax closer to Nasm.

Hello sir whatsup;
From ms-dos days I remember TMA assembler; it's GNU and source code is available.
http://www.hugbox.org/software/tma-macro-assembler/

Well, if my memory is good I suppose that I have seen source code of initial solasm assembler project in internet. Don't remember now where I have seen that.

Just a question, what about a preprocessor? Sounds more easy create a translator, most of these assemblers use intel syntax. Asking this because debug macros to me is hard, debug our own  program is a bit more easy.
