Can someone explain macro expansion? The directives EXPAND and NOEXPAND and
the command line option m+, m- seem to have no effect on the output of my
listing file. At the point in the file where the macro is defined, each step
is "expanded" for each invocation of the macro in the source file. For
example if I invoke the macro "beq" two times in my source code (nothing
meaningful, just used to test expansion of the macro), the list file is as
follows:

                          beq macro addr
00000b 1903 BTFSC 0x3,0x2 btfsc STATUS,Z
00000e 1903 BTFSC 0x3,0x2
00000c 2807 GOTO 0x7      goto addr
00000f 2807 GOTO 0x7
                             endm

The list file is as follows at the point where I invoked this macro.

00000a 01a1 CLRF 0x21     clrf count
                          beq start
00000d 0000 NOP           nop
                          beq start

This happens regardless of EXPAND, NOEXPAND, m+, m-, etc.

Also what would be the purpose of not expanding the macros? Thanks in
advance for any help.
