That is correct, an attempt at economy with words :) Basic structured programming constructs were achieved with macros back in the 60's, but it wasn't until later that object oriented concepts were introduced, so they are different subjects. On structured programming, a more modern (2003) paper on "New Structured Programming Macros" can be found here: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/hlasm/newsfeb03.html >Where's the inheritance and polymorphism with assembler code? Some googling would answer all of your questions. How about a job listing? http://www.getacoder.com/projects/object_oriented_assembler_prog_16981.h tml RISC is "reduced instruction set", but it's still macro assembler, and this example is just off the top of the hits list.
