1. Virtual Pointer:

Define (*)Pointer.String = AllocateMemory(SizeOf(String))

Pointer\s = "Hello, World!"

Debug Pointer

2. expression-pointer with datatype:

Code: Select all

DataSection 
  label:
    Data.l ?label_2
  label_2:
    Data.s "Hello, World!"
EndDataSection

Debug (?label).String\s ;/ Give "Hello, World!"

3. complex macros:

Code: Select all

MacroX List "NewXArray" name.StructureName(Elements) ;/ Create a list of Elements
  Code: ;/ the intern Macro-Code
    Macro name(useElements)
      (name+(SizeOf(StructureName)*useElements)).StructureName
    EndMacro
  
  Free: ;/ by 'End' call
    FreeMemory(name)
  
  Return: ;/ return of the Macro
    (*)name.StructureName = AllocateMemory(SizeOf(StructureName)*(Elements + 1))
EndMacroX

Define NewXArray MyArray.String(1) ;Define (*)MyArray.String = AllocateMemory(SizeOf(String)*(1 + 1))

MyArray(0)\s = "Hello" ; (MyArray+(SizeOf(String)*0)).String
MyArray(1)\s = "World" ; (MyArray+(SizeOf(String)*1)).String

End 1 ; FreeMemory(MyArray)

3. complex macros:
is very close to how a procedure works (esp. the return part)

Whis this macros can you create new keywords!

Procedures are not so optimized.

What do you mean?

Procedures must you write the Parameters in the steak. At Macros is it not so.
