I think macros are now feature complete. They pass all the tests that I've devised so far. I am still working on them because they still need polishing: the code is not as clean as I'd like and the error messages that they produce are not helpful enough. What I have now is on my dev7 branch: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pspp;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/dev7
