Calling Standard Macros

The following defines a macro named BMOVE that takes three arguments: source, destination, and count. The macro produces code that copies any number of bytes from one part of memory to another.

BMOVE   MACRO   src, dst, cnt
LOCAL   lab
        MOV     R2,#cnt
        MOV     R1,#src
        MOV     R0,#dst
lab:    MOV     A,@R1
        MOV     @R0,A
        INC     R0
        INC     R1
        DJNZ    R2,lab
        ENDM

To call this macro, specify the macro name and the list of parameters. For example, the above macro may be called as follows:

BMOVE array1, array2, 10

The macro is expanded as:

           MOV     R2,#10
           MOV     R1,#array1
           MOV     R0,#array2
??0000:    MOV     A,@R1
           MOV     @R0,A
           INC     R0
           INC     R1
           DJNZ    R2,??0000

Note

• The above example produces assembly errors because the source file includes no segment definitions.
• The GEN and GENONLY directives may be used to include macro definition and macro calls in the assembler listing file.
