Introduction

Concept» A macro instruction is a notational convenience for

the programmer» It allows the programmer to write shorthand

version of a program (module programming)» Macro is a Single line abbreviation for set of

instructions .» The macro processor replaces each macro

invocation with the corresponding sequence of statements i.e called as Macro expantion.

Activities of single pass macro processors

Read the source program statements from input file till EOF. If Source statement is a normal ALP statement then dump it as

it is to output file.( Definition mode flag (d) and expansion mode flag(e) are set to 0), Reading is from input file and writing it into output file

If a statements corresponds to macro definition , then,» Dump the macro body along with MEND ,starting from next available row

index in MDT after replacement of positional parameters.» Reflect the corresponding changes into MNT.

– Here d is set( d=1) and e is reset(e=0). Reading is from input file and writing it into MDT. Formal Vs Positional parameter list is used . d is reset( d=0) on MEND.

24

If a statements corresponds to macro call» Consult MNT to get index in MDT and read statements one by

one from MDT till MEND , replace it with Actual Parameter and write it into output file.

– Here e is set( e=1) and d is reset(d=0). Reading is from MDT and writing it into Output file. Actual Vs Positional parameter list is used . e is reset( e=0) when MEND is encountered in MDT .

Recursive Macro

Recursive Macro is nothing but call to a macro say “XYZ” inside the definition of “XYZ” itself.

69

Macro Functions

(or Subroutines)Definition Macros are single-line

abbreviations of a small

sequence of instructions.

Functions are blocks of code that are to be executed

repeatedly by the program

Lines of Code Macros are used when number of

repeating instructions is very

small (3 to 5 instructions)

Functions can be used for any length of code that is to be

executed repeatedly.

Use of CALL mnemonic Only the macro name is used to

call the macro

CALL mnemonic is used along with the function name (as

its operand), to call the function

MACRO Vs FUNCTIONS

70

Time of processing Macros are processed at compilation

time

Functions are processed during execution

time

Processing the call Macro calls are replaced by

corresponding sequence of instructions;

these instructions are not actually

executed.

When a function is called, its

corresponding instructions are actually

executed.

Housekeeping operations No housekeeping operations (pushing

and popping on the stack) are needed.

The return address is pushed onto stack,

when a function is called and is popped

back when the function returns

Need of a Preprocessor Macro calls are not recognized by the

assembler. So, a separate Macro

Processor is needed to expand them

Functions (or Subroutines) are executed

by the Assembler itself (as Procedures)

Return value Macros cannot return a value Functions can return a value

Size of the program Macro calls are expanded inline. So,

they increase the size of the program

Functions do not increase the size of the

program

Speed of execution Since there are no housekeeping

operations involved, programs using

macros execute slightly faster than the

ones using functions

Housekeeping operations make programs

using functions execute at lesser speed.

71

Chapter Summary Macros are single-line abbreviations for a small sequence of

commands. Macros appear functionally similar to functions (or

subroutines). But there are many fundamental differences between them.

Macros are expanded inline i.e. the macro call is replaced by corresponding sequence of instructions; these instructions are not actually executed.

Functions are used to repeatedly execute a long enough sequence of instructions.

Also, processing of macros does not require any housekeeping operations, whereas executing functions needs return address (and sometimes current state of the program) to be pushed onto stack.

72

Functions of Macro Processor are:

» Recognize the macro definition» Store the macro definition» Recognize the macro call» Expand the macro call

– Features of macro facility include:» Parameterized Macros – Passing arguments to a macro, either by

position or by Keywords» Nested Macros – Using one macro from within another macro

– Nested Macro Calls: Calling a macro from within another macro

– Nested Macro Definition: Defining one macro inside definition of another macro.

73

» Conditionally Macro Expansion – Using AIF and AGO statements to conditionally decide which part of code to insert into the macro body.

AIF is used as a conditional jump; AGO is used for unconditional jump.

Recursive Macros – Calling a macro from within itself. But to limit the depth of recursion, proper conditions must be given to terminate the recursion.

– A Simple Macro Processor takes two passes to completely process and expand the macros.

In Pass 1, All macros used in the program get listed in MNT and their definitions get stored in MDT. ALA is used to convert formal parameters to positional parameters.

In Pass 2, macro calls in the program get expanded by using MNT and MDT. ALA is used to convert positional parameters to actual parameters.
