Title: Special symbols in macro names
Post by: Roman on July 31, 2012, 10:02:52 AM: Hi, All!
Sorry for my English, i do not know it...
I have a some trouble: I support the old code, which would be written in nasm 0.98.35. And now i'm use nasm 2.10.
I don't know enough English to describe the problem, therefore show an example :D
there is a macro
Code: [Select]
%macro defineMacro 2 ; defines new one line macro ; %1 - macro name ; %2 - macro value %define %1 %2 %endmand this macro calling as
Code: [Select]
defineMacro %$SOMENAME1 %+ %$SOMENAME2, 1expected
Code: [Select]
%define %$SOMENAME1%$SOMENAME2 1 ; it was in nasm0.98but nasm 2.10 generates
Code: [Select]
%define %$SOMENAME1 %$SOMENAME2 1 ; %$SOMENAME1 - macros name and '%$SOMENAME2 1' - value
is there any way to fix this?

Code: [Select]
defineMacro %$SOMENAME1%+%$SOMENAME2, 1
i.e. without spaces around %+ term?

Optionally you can fetch git repo itself and build nasm by own.
