local constant

[korte]

how to define local constant?

Myproc proc
cursorPos textequ <ebx>  <= not local!!!
.
.
  inc cursorPos
.
.
.
Myproc endp

[peaslee]

MyProc proc var1:DWORD,...

LOCAL cursorPos:DWORD    ; or whatever type

...

MyProc endp

[korte]

I would like to solve it by a register, faster...

korte,

This one should work :

Code Select Expand


main PROC

    param TEXTEQU <eax>

    add     param,1
    ret

    param TEXTEQU <>

main ENDP


The statement  param TEXTEQU <> destroys param at the end of the subroutine.

Scoping is much more effective and powerful in GoAsm...

Within a FRAME..ENDF envelope you can use locally defined words. The definition can be made either in the FRAME..ENDF envelope itself or in an associated USEDATA..ENDU area.
Their scope is limited to the FRAME or USEDATA area. See inheritance and scope when using USEDATA..ENDU for more details about how this works in practice.
You define such local words using #localdef (or LOCALEQU if you prefer - they do the same thing).

Main FRAME
    #LOCALDEF Count ebx
    MyLocalConst LOCALEQU 0x1000

    mov Count, MyLocalConst
