Macro like .code/.data/.data?/.const, etc?

[asmftw]

hello, I have a macro like this for creating text strings and moving them into registers / pushing them onto the stack:

Code Select Expand

TEXT macro pszText:VARARG                    ; Macro for creating text strings
local szText
    .const
szText db pszText,0
    .code
    exitm <offset szText>
endm

How can I make a custom label in my program where all the data will fall under, instead of .const?


For example, normally if I do:

Code Select Expand

invoke MessageBoxA,0,TEXT("TEST"),TEXT("TEST!!"),0

my .const section will have
"TEST",0
"TEST!!",0

I want the text to appear under a user defined label, for instance:

Code Select Expand

.code
start:
  invoke MessageBoxA,0,TEXT("TEST"),TEXT("TEST!!"),0
  invoke ExitProcess,0
ConstantStrings: ;<-- strings should appear under here
;other data is here

Hi,

it has to be done this way then:

Code Select Expand


    .386
    .model flat, stdcall
    option casemap:none
    option dotname

TEXT macro s
local xxx
    .code .text$2
xxx db s,0
    .code
    exitm <offset xxx>
    endm
   
    .code .text$2
StartStrings:

    .code
start:
    mov eax, TEXT("abc")
    mov ecx, TEXT("def")
    ret

    end start
