The document describes a macro called SWAPR that swaps the values of two registers. The macro uses a third temporary register to store one of the values during the swap. If more than two arguments are passed to the macro, it performs an optimized swap using direct register-to-register moves, otherwise it uses memory to store the temporary value.

For example, given the macro definition

MACRO
&LABL SWAPR &ONE, &TWO, &TEMP
IF (%NITEMS() GT 2)
&LABL ST→&ONE &TEMP
RMO &TWO, &ONE
LD→&TWO &TEMP
ELSE
&LABL ST→&ONE $TEMP
RMO &TWO, &ONE
LD→&TWO $TEMP
J $NEXT
$TEMP RESW 1
SNEXT RESW 0
ENDIF
MEND
%NITEMS() = 3

then the call


SWAPR S, T, SWAPAREA
has the expansion

. SWAPR S, T, SWAPAREA
STA SWAPAREA
RMO S,T
LDT SWAPAREA
%NITEMS() = 2
and the call (first macro call, so $ → $AA)
SWAPR S, T
has the expansion

. SWAPR S, T
STA $AATEMP
RMO S,T
LDT $AATEMP
J $AANEXT
$AATEMP RESW 1
$AANEXT RESW 0
