You can use anything which cpp can resolve. That means (theoretical),
you can define (but this will be a hard job) some (or better mamy)
macros and then you can write the code which looks like normal
C but is expanded to assembler.

OK, at last: You can use any valid preprocesser directive, which
also allowed for C (I hope I'm not wrong) with the limitation,
that it should produce valid assembler syntax.

An other method to use macros in assembler, is to use GASP. Please
read the doc about it's usage.
