Have any good sources of this topic of macro assemblers? I'm interested in reading about this type of thing. I'll search Google, but you can't always find good

  Unfourtuantly not. The only one I have worked with was really just a normal assembler with a big library of in house macros.

    I searched a bit, and found a large set of pages with information on the topic in the context of the 360 architecture. I'd say this architecture is unique in that it is still to this day used to write high level software. Put "360 assembler macros" in your search engine and you'll find lots of information. This is a good place to start: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.1.0?topic=language-macro-instructions https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.1.0?topic=language-macro-i...

"Assembly language for the PC" https://archive.org/details/assemblylanguage00soch https://archive.org/details/assemblylanguage00soch "TASM Reference" https://archive.org/details/bitsavers_borlandturemblerVersion4.0QuickReferenceMar94_5680156 https://archive.org/details/bitsavers_borlandturemblerVersio... "Structured Assembler Language For IBM Microcomputers" https://archive.org/details/structured-assembler-language-for-ibm-microcomputers https://archive.org/details/structured-assembler-language-fo... Or just go to MASM documentation, you will find plenty of directives that look like an high level language https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/assembler/masm/directives-reference?view=msvc-160 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/assembler/masm/directiv...
