To Call A Macro From Within An Expression; To Call A Macro From Within A Macro - HP 68000 Series User Manual

To call a macro from within an expression

• Enter a macro call as part of any expression entered on the command line of
the debugger.
The debugger will evaluate the macro and use its return value when evaluating
the rest of the expression.
Example If you have the following macro definition:
Debugger Macro Add int power(x,y)
int
int
{
}
.
The command:
Expression Display_Value 33.3 + power(2,3)
will call and evaluate the macro, displaying the value 41.3 in the debugger's
journal window.
