Quick question about return values.

[ctt]

I have codesnippets with "return Var" in them... my question, how do i use it? return aint something that masm32 knows by default as far as I know, or is the snippets for some other assembler?  ::)

Exampel

Code Select Expand


...
ADDR lpData,ADDR dwSize
invoke RegCloseKey,phkResult
return lpData
...


Thanks!

Most likely it's a macro which does this:

Code Select Expand

mov eax,lpData
ret

(eax is conventionally used for returning values)

Sweet, i was fishing for something like that but i wasn't sure.
Thanks  :U

It is one of the many macros listed in the MACROS.ASM file provided with the MASM32 package.

Code Select Expand

      return MACRO arg
        mov eax, arg
        ret
      ENDM
