+; NASM provides built-in macros STRUC and ENDSTRUC for structure definition.
+; For example, to define a structure called mytype containing a longword,
+; a word, a byte and a string of bytes, you might code
+;
+; struc   mytype 
+;
+;  mt_long:      resd    1 
+;  mt_word:      resw    1 
+;  mt_byte:      resb    1 
+;  mt_str:       resb    32 
+;
+; endstruc
+;
+; Below macros are help to map the C types and the RESB family of pseudo-instructions.
+; So that the above structure definition can be coded as
+;
+; struc   mytype 
+;
+;  mt_long:      CTYPE_UINT32    1 
+;  mt_word:      CTYPE_UINT16    1 
+;  mt_byte:      CTYPE_UINT8     1 
+;  mt_str:       CTYPE_CHAR8     32
