May be it's a kind of stupid idea, but ... Is it possible to write macro for every BASIC command?

Ex.:

You wrote after asm header something like this:

print "Hello world!"
a = 1 + 2 +3
print a & " = a"
cls

I tried to do something, but I'm find out it impossible (may be just for me).

It's really stupid, isn't it?

www.PowerBASIC.com :)

supports Macros & inline ASM

:stupid:

Can you be more specific?

Yes, you can write an ASM equivalent for every function in any language. In the end all languages boil down to ASM regardless of how many layers they go through to get there. After all your computer only understands ASM, all other languages are just translators. You would need to make a syntax parser to analyze the line of code then execute a procedure or a series of procedures for each line. You need a variable table and some other stuff but you add those as your language gets more complex. For example:

MyVar = Mod(25/5)

would be something like:

xor edx,edx
mov eax,25
mov ebx,5
div ebx
mov MyVar,edx

EDIT Actually hitchhikr is working on something like that he might have something to look at :
