10.12 For More Information

Although this chapter has spent a considerable amount of time describing various features of HLA's macro support and compile time language features, the truth is this chapter has barely described what's possible with HLA. Indeed, this chapter made the claim that HLA's macro facilities are far more powerful than those provided by other assemblers; however, this chapter doesn't do HLA's macros justice. If you've ever used a language with decent macro facilities, you're probably wondering, "What's the big deal?" Well, the really sophisticated stuff is beyond the scope of this chapter. If you're interested in learning more about HLA's powerful macro facilities, please consult the HLA Reference Manual and the electronic editions of The Art of Assembly Language on the CD-ROM that accompanies the book. You'll discover that it's actually possible to create your own high level languages using HLA's macro facilities. However, this chapter does not assume the reader has the prerequisite knowledge to do that type of programming (yet!), so this chapter defers that discussion to the material that you'll also find on the CD-ROM.
