hi,
I want to ask a question.
How to define a macro function that can be called by C language in armasm?
I know that in GNU can be used in the following way:
.macro push_x1_x12
push x1,x2
push x3,x4
push x5,x6
push x7,x8
push x9,x10
push x11,x12
.endm
ENTRY(test)
.......
push_x1_x12 ......ENDPROC(test)
Now in armasm, I used as follow :
MACRO
push_x1_x12
MEND
But how to expand the macro that can be called by C language??

hi all,
I need to do some big test cases with macros.
read armclang's embedded assembly document. and i can define macros in c ,and expand in c function .
Now,I want to expand macros in other macros,the code as following:
//define
#define cpus_tst_code_lsl(_reg0,ret) asm("adr %[input_i],#4\n\t" \
"mov %[input_i],%[input_i]\n\t" \
"ldr %[input_i],[%[input_i]]\n\t" \
"lsl %[input_i],%[input_i],#36\n\t" \
"lsr %[input_i],%[input_i],#56\n\t" \
"cmp %[input_i],#0x80\n\t" \
"b.eq lable1\n\t" \
"mov %[result],#0x1\n\t" \
"b lable2\n\t" \
"lable1:mov %[result],#0x0\n\t" \
"lable2:\n\t" \
: [result] "=r" (ret) \
: [input_i] "r" (_reg0) \
)
//expand
#define test_cpus_l1_code_base(ret) asm("mov x5,#16\n\t" \
"mov x6,x4\n\t" \
"mov x8,#20\n\t" \
"cpus_tst_code_lsl x5,%[result] \n\t" \
........

Sure. The #define does text replacement only. It does not do any evaluation of your string to then go to look for other things.
