Thread: C++ Problem

I think GNU is the standard. I know that you can do _asm with GNU.

Also, are you doing command line compilation? I think you have to add a whole ton of crap to the make to do inline assembly.

Also, maybe it's different for your compiler, but I always use references for parameters in inline assembly. I don't remember if you need to do that with GNU, I know one of them required you to do that.

Code:

mov      edi, [DestAddr]
       mov      ecx, [MixLen]
       mov      esi, [SrcAddr]

Why are you using your own sound routines? It might be easier to use OpenAL

So I can or I can't keep the functions as-is?

I didn't write the Assembly code-- This is apart of a game enginge I'm editing and adding to.

I would use OpenAL for a game, that way you are guaranteed that it will work.

3000 audio commands in asm? What is the name of this engine that you're working on, it sounds really big.

you cannot use Intel style assembly with GCC

I believe there are some pre-processor macros around to convert between the two syntaxes, but I have near zero experience with assembly inside C++

Yes you can I forget how though, some type of compiler flags. Try

Code:

-xchip=pentium5

I' think that's actually something else, but there is a similar flag for the asm. I don't do command line, my IDE takes care of that.

you're right,
I just googled it

Code:

gcc -o my_program -masm=intel my_program.c

I find intel asm soooo much easier than the unix style one. How do people read that junk?

You can do misp asm inline too if you are on a PPC computer like me

I like to think I'm a fairly competent programmer
but I draw the line at assembly

now, I've never done anything game orientated
I'm primarily database and web server middleware

but seriously,
does DIY assembly *really* make that much of a difference?
(with all it's portability & bug pitfalls and show-stoppers)

maybe it's cause I change my mind too often
A minor re-jig to C code vs. scraping and re-writing pages of assembly

anyway....

Ausome, now I don't have to phuck around with other compilers!
