I don't understand the purpose of the macros. If they are
only a few instructions, then write them directly into the
code (makes the code better readable). And if they are many
instructions, write it as a subroutine and not as a macro. The
same program in a readable version without any macros:

One purpose that was popular in Fasm forums for a bit was to generate
some data during compile-time; to speed up run-time execution.
