I have macro that works with tasm but now I want compile it with nasm. Macro prints string terminated with '$'. When I write CMP byte ptr %1[si],'$' I get error message - looks like parameters work as registers.
PutString MACRO String
LOCAL skip
LOCAL next
PUSHF
PUSH bp
PUSH AX
PUSH BX
PUSH SI
xor si,si
next:
CMP byte ptr String[si],'$'
JE skip
MOV ah,0Eh
MOV al,byte ptr String[si]
INT 10h
INC SI
JMP next
skip:
POP SI
POP BX
POP AX
POP bp
popf
ENDM
and after convertion:
%macro PutString 1
PUSHF
PUSH bp
PUSH AX
PUSH BX
PUSH SI
xor si,si
%%next:
CMP byte ptr %1[si],'$' ; ooops!
JE skip
MOV ah,0Eh
MOV al,byte ptr %1[si] ; ooops!
INT 10h
INC SI
JMP next
%%skip:
POP SI
POP BX
POP AX
POP bp
popf
%endmacro
