MACRO compilation PROBLEM
- by wildfly
i was given a primitive task to find out (and to put in cl) how many nums in an array are bigger than the following ones, (meaning if (arr[i] arr[i+1]) count++;) but i've problems as it has to be a macro.
i am getting errors from TASM. can someone give me a pointer?
SortA macro a, l
LOCAL noes
irp reg, <si,di,bx>
push reg
endm
xor bx,bx
xor si,si
rept l-1 ;;also tried rept 3 : wont' compile
mov bl,a[si]
inc si
cmp bl,arr[si]
jb noes
inc di
noes: add di,0
endm
mov cx,di
irp reg2, <bx,di,si>
pop reg2
endm
endm
dseg segment
arr db 10,9,8,7
len = 4
dseg ends
sseg segment stack
dw 100 dup (?)
sseg ends
cseg segment
assume ds:dseg, ss:sseg, cs:cseg
start: mov ax, dseg
mov ds,ax
sortA arr,len
cseg ends
end start
