Book Description
No other book focuses exclusively on macros in assembly language. Extremely accessible, it clearly explains how to incorporate macros into assembly language code and then use that code to speed up execution of high-level programs. Special emphasis is given to optimizing code. The accompanying disk contains 100 macros ready to use with Turbo Assembler.
Synopsis
Languages/Assembler Macro Magic with Turbo Assembler(R) This book is a guide to one of the best-kept secrets of assembly language programming: the effective use of macros. This underutilized feature of assembly language will help you write tighter, clearer, and easier-to-understand code, and will save you hours of programming time. With examples written in Borland Internationals Turbo Assembler, this book:Takes you easily and gradually through the rigors of macro programming, from the basics to sophisticated advanced techniquesIncludes a disk containing source code for all the macros developed in the book, including listings in both Turbo Assembler and Microsoft AssemblerEmphasizes practical, real-world macros that you can put to work in your own programsDescribes how to optimize macros for maximum efficiency and flexibilityExplains how macros and subroutines can be used to take some of the drudgery out of building assembly language filter programsPresents TINY, a very small general-purpose programming language written entirely in assembly language macros, to demonstrate the power of "little languages"
