quad macro functions

[Brian Alvarez]

 Hello Charles, are macrofunctions supposed to support quads?

[Charles Pegge]

Yes, macro functions can be of any type.

[Brian Alvarez]

 This does not compile (v1 and v2 are dwords)

Code: [Select]

macro ¤OR quad(r, v1, v2) 
  r = v1 or v2
end macro

Code: [Select]

ERROR: ASSEMBLER:
 ERR: qword [ebp-60]!!  Unidentified instruction: qword
LINE: 2083
FILE: "main source
this compiles but after a few calls to the function other areas of the program start to fall apart:

Code: [Select]

FUNCTION ¤OR(byval quad v1, v2) as quad
  addr rcx,v1
  addr rdx,v2
  mov eax,[rcx]
  or eax,[rdx]
  mov [rcx],eax
  mov eax,[rcx+3]
  or eax,[rdx+3]
  mov [rcx+3],eax
  return v1
end function
This works and it is completely stable but does not work with quads:

Code: [Select]

macro ¤OR dword(r, v1, v2) 
  r = v1 or v2
end macro

[Brian Alvarez]

 I found a workaround but im not sure how big is the cpu footprint:

Code: [Select]

FUNCTION ¤OR2(byval quad v1, v2) as quad
  addr rcx,v1
  addr rdx,v2
  mov eax,[rcx]
  or eax,[rdx]
  mov [rcx],eax
  mov eax,[rcx+3]
  or eax,[rdx+3]
  mov [rcx+3],eax
  return v1
end function

macro ¤OR quad(r, v1, v2) 
  r = ¤OR2((quad)v1, (quad)v2)
end macro

The quad type does not support bitwise operations directly. You can use sys instead for 64bit mode.

[Brian Alvarez]

Would that allow bitwise operations on quads for 32bit mode?
