 Macro instructions are single-line abbreviations for group of
instructions.
 Macro is an abbreviation for a sequence of operations .
 Syntax/structure

CONDITIONAL MACRO EXPANSION
 Two pseudo-ops are used
 AIF:- It is conditional branch pseudo-op that performs an
arithmetic test and branches to specified macro-label only if test is
true.
 AGO:- It is unconditional branch pseudo-op. It is equivalent to go-
to statement.
 .FINI:- Labels starting with a period(.), such as .FINI, are macro
label do not appear in the output of the macro processor.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
 Macro processor is a system program which accepts an assembly
language program with macro definition and macro calls and produce
an equivalent assembly language program in which all macro calls are
expanded.
 Four basic tasks of macro instruction processor
 Recognize macro definitions
 Save the definition
 Recognize calls
 Expand calls and substitute arguments
11/15/2016jaya
16

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
 Macro processor performs expansion using 2 passes
 Pass I
 It examines every operation code
 Save all macro definitions in a macro definition table
and macro name table
 Save a copy of the input text , minus macro definition
 Pass II
 Identify macro calls
 Replace each macro name with the appropriate text
from macro definition(expand macro call)

 PASS I
 The input macro source deck
 Output macro source deck copy for use by pass2
 Macro Definition Table(MDT)
 Macro Name Table(MNT)
 Macro Definition Table Counter(MDNTC)
 Macro Name Table Counter(MNTC)
 Argument List Array(ALA)

IMPLEMENTATION OF MACRO
CALL WITHIN MACRO
 Basic problem in implementing macro calls within
macros is “recursion”
 Need to expand both macro
 Each call might be expanded by another macro
 More macros vs single macro
