Storm C V4...using inline assembler

[NovaCoder]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to inline some assember into a C source file (I'm using Storm C V4)?

[NovaCoder]

asm("mov.b X.d
mov.b d0,Y");

Compiles ok but fails to link because the symbols (X & Y) are not defined (did I mention that I don't actually know assembler).

Also I've noticed that I've only got the choice of using the GCC compiler or the Storm V3 compiler....what happened to the V4 compiler, didn't they do one?

[NovaCoder]

Looks like they ditched their own compiler for an updated version of GCC blurb

If you don't know assembler, why do you need inline assembler then?

Anyway, when I needed assembler in a Storm C project I just used an external assembler (f.e. phxass), less hassle than trying to figure out how the inline assembler in StormC works.

Because I'm a C/C++ coder who needs to use bits of assembler to do things

Which doesn't really compute if you don't know assembler...

found a little tutorial: http://neo.dmcs.p.lodz.pl/pm/inline_asm.pdf
found it on this board: http://utilitybase.com/forum/index.p...m=3&topic=1519

That however only works if he uses gcc instead of the native Storm C compiler.

isnt there a StormGCC included in StormC 4? well, at least something NovaCoder can play with

There is. I always used the native Storm Compiler though.

Yep cheers Hit, V4 offers you the choice of either Storm C V3 or StormGCC and it looks like StormGCC is the newer one (ie it's the
preferred choice).

I believe the best way to code on the Miggy is using C++ with assembler where it's needed for performance tweaks. If I need a particular algorithm optimised I can probably get someone else to do it for me and then replace it's C counterpart.

ok, so the little tutorial will help, it seems
