RE: string concatenation in gas

[Geoff Berry <geoffb at bops dot com>]

Nice try, but it still doesn't work.  This expands to

	push	rCOUNT
	push	rCOUNT
	...

Any other ideas?

You might be able to get by with a repeat loop calling the macro which does
the
concatenation, e.g.

.MACRO PUSH    REGNO
    push    r\REGNO
.ENDM

.set START 0
.set END 5
.set COUNT, START
.rept
    PUSH COUNT
.set COUNT, COUNT + 1
.break COUNT == END
.endr
