Print Page - Hidden syntax for invoke ??!

Title: Hidden syntax for invoke ??!
Post by: ToutEnMasm on June 14, 2006, 10:05:54 PM

reading a source code,I see a way to avoid the use of invoke at each line,that is:

EXTERNDEF ExitProcess@4:PROC
ExitProcess EQU <invoke pr1 PTR ExitProcess@4>

listing
               ExitProcess,0
000001FC 6A 00     *     push +000000000h
000001FE E8 00000000 E *     call near ptr ExitProcess@4

normal invoke
               invoke atodw,addr phrase
000004CD 8D 45 F1     *     lea eax, byte ptr ss:[ebp]+0F1h
000004D0 50        *     push eax
000004D1 E8 00000000 E *     call atodw      ;not near call

It's clear that pr0 mean PROTO with zero DWORD and so on,prN with N dword
I search MSDN for the "pr" ,the BNF grammar and other's doc,but I don't find this.

.
Where is referenced pr(N) ??
