ARM Assembler Macros (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/5/2010

ARM assembler-level macros are required to implement prolog and epilog code segments.

The following assembler level macros, which come from Kxarm.h, are available for ARM microprocessors.

Macro	Description
ALTERNATE_ENTRY (ARM)	Declares an alternate entry to a routine.
END_REGION (ARM)	Marks the end of a contiguous range of text or data.
ENTRY_END (ARM)	Ends the routine that was specified by a prior NESTED_ENTRY (ARM).
EXCEPTION_HANDLER (ARM)	Associates a named exception handler with the subsequent NESTED_ENTRY (ARM).
EXCEPTION_HANDLER_DATA (ARM)	Associates a named exception handler and the handler data with the subsequent NESTED_ENTRY (ARM).
LEAF_ENTRY (ARM)	Declares the beginning of a routine that does not require prolog code.
NESTED_ENTRY (ARM)	Declares the beginning of a routine that either has an existing stack frame or that creates a stack frame.
PROLOG_END (ARM)	Marks the end of the prolog area.
START_REGION (ARM)	Marks the beginning of a contiguous range of text or data.
