My $Bswap macro error: EXITM used inconsistently
I just made the following $Bswap macro. It performs the same task as BSWAP instruction on immediates.
The macro is working well: 
%ECHO * $Bswap (12345678h)

%ECHO * $Bswap (78563412h)

* 2018915346	<- in hex 78563412

* 305419896	<- in hex 12345678

but ML still says:
error A2126: EXITM used inconsistently

It is weird, because the macro is working, isn't it?

Here's the macro: 
$Bswap  MACRO   op:REQ

 IFE $IsImm (op)

  ECHO

  ECHO * $Bswap MACRO error: the argument op has to be immediate

  ECHO * interrupted by forcing error...

  ECHO

  .ERR

  EXITM

 ENDIF



 $Bswapa = op AND       0FFh

 $Bswapa = $Bswapa SHL 24t



 $Bswapb = op AND     0FF00h

 $Bswapb = $Bswapb SHL 8t



 $Bswapc = op AND   0FF0000h

 $Bswapc = $Bswapc SHR 8t



 $Bswapd = op AND 0FF000000h

 $Bswapd = $Bswapd SHR 24t



 $Bswapresult TEXTEQU % ($Bswapa OR $Bswapb OR $Bswapc OR $Bswapd)

 EXITM <$Bswapresult>

ENDM

P.S. I use some of Four-F's $IsXXX macros:

Thanks for these nice macros, 4f :)

My $Bswap macro error: EXITM used inconsistently
The macro is expecting to return a value - use "EXITM <>" to return nothing.

%ECHO * $Bswap ("asdf")

No temp is needed, but it is harder to read:
$Bswap MACRO op:REQ

	IFE $IsImm (op)

		ECHO

		ECHO * $Bswap MACRO error: the argument op has to be immediate

		ECHO * interrupted by forcing error...

		ECHO

		.ERR

		EXITM <>

	ENDIF



	EXITM %(((op AND 0FFh) SHL 24) OR ((op AND 0FF00h) SHL 8) OR ((op AND 0FF0000h) SHR 8) OR ((op AND 0FF000000h) SHR 24))

ENDM

Yeah, it's working, thanks! BTW, tell me, how is it possible that the EXITM without brackets can have influence while compiling, when the compiler didn't take the EXITM between IFE-ENDIF in given examples :?

No temp is needed, but it is harder to read:

Since there is no advantage in such versions (except less lines), I prefer readability.


I got it - I used both EXITM without brackets and EXITM <$Bswapresult>. Didn't know that the compiler is able to check it.
