Hi E^cube,

As you know,macros are processed during assembly\compile time. Could you be more specific?

Hi Vortex,
i'm asking if visual c++ 6.0 or later has inline support for Masm's macros?as what i'm trying to accomplish won't really work with a static lib written in masm for visual c++. i'm having hard time finding info on visual C++'s default macro support aswell.

Hi E^cube,

As I know, VC++ 6.0 does not support inline Masm macros.

Cube,

No version of VC/VS C compiler has MASM macro support. The best you can do is a pale limp wristed imitatio built into the Compiler which is C notation, not MASM. Just write your assembler in MASM modules and you have the best of both worlds.
