Re: Inline Assembler Problems

Var
   TheArray : Array[0..99] Of Integer; {32-bit}
Begin
    Asm("
        ... Code ...
        movl  _Index, %esi                    (*you must double % if

you use Ext. Asm*)

        movl  $_TheArray(,esi,4), %eax
        ... Code ...
    ");
End.

DOHHH! I am an idiot! In my code I had the two operands switched around! The assembler was telling me that I was using an invalid 386 instruction. Is the following really illegal?

movl %eax,$_TheArray(,esi,4)

Now im doing it much nicer:

Asm("... Code ... " "movl %0(,%1,4),%%eax " "... Code ... " : { No outputs } : "m" (TheArray), "r" (Index), : "eax");

I LOVE the inline assembler, except for the 15 local label limit. I know I can prefix locals with an 'L' except when the compiler inlines the code it creates duplicate labels. Is there any way around that?
