Macro Processors

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.

Functions of Macro Processor
Recognize macro definitions Save the macro definition Recognize macro calls Expand macro calls Source Code (with macro) Macro Processor Expanded Code(without macro) Compiler or Assembler obj

Macro Definition copy code parameter substitution
conditional macro expansion macro instruction defining macros

Structure of Simple Macro -- Example
Source MACRO XYZ …..; macro Header .. } ;Macro Body …. MEND ; Macro ends MEND XYZ --- XYZ ;Macro Call

Structure of parameterized Macro -- Example
Source MACRO XYZ para1, para2…..; macro Header .. } ;Macro Body …. MEND ; Macro ends MEND XYZ --- XYZ 1,2,….. ;Macro Call

Example of macro expansion

Classification of macros
Simple macro Nested Macro Macro call within a macro definition Macro definitions inside the Macro definitions of another Macro Conditional Macro Recursive Macro

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.

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.

MACRO Vs FUNCTIONS 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

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.

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.

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.

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