Detecting architecture at compile time from MASM/MASM64

How can I detect at compile time from an ASM source file if the target architecture is I386 or AMD64?

I am using masm(ml.exe)/masm64(ml64.exe) to assemble file32.asm and file64.asm. It would be nice to create a single file, file.asm, which should include either file32.asm, or file64.asm, depending on the architecture. Ideally, I would like to be able to write something like:

IFDEF amd64
include file64.asm
ELSE
include file32.asm
ENDIF

Also, if needed, I can run ml.exe and ml64.exe with different command line开发者_JS百科 options.

Thanks!


IFDEF RAX

  ECHO "WIN64"

ELSE

  ECHO "WIN32"

ENDIF


If I understand you correctly, you're looking for some sort of built-in define that has a different value among 32 and 64 bit MASM versions. I once looked for something like that, but didn't find anything suitable.

However, it's easy enough to just define your own, e.g. AMD64 equ 1 at the start of your source file to select your desired code path, or at the ML/ML64 command-line, like /DAMD64. And then use IFDEF/IFNDEF, as you suggest.


The x86 and x64 instruction sets (not even mentioning stack usage and restrictions) are soooooo different that I wonder if that would make sense, anyway... IOW, writing efficient architecture-independent x86 / x64 code looks close to impossible to me. This is assembly, not some portable HLL.

That's also most likely the reason why there are two specific assemblers, ml.exe and ml64.exe, rather than a single ml.exe that would handle it all with the help of some extra directives.
