inline assembly in BC5.02

Hi,

I have a few lines of assembly that I'd like to sqeeze in between the high
level code. However, BC5.02 either doesn't overwrite the .obj file or messes
up during linking if I do so. This results in the exe not being updated. If
I remove the assembly, everything goes fine. The alternative is to manually
delete the exe and relevant .obj files. Why's that?

Thanks,
Kristo

Re:inline assembly in BC5.02

You have found a problem with the compiler.

A file with inline assembly or an assembly language file gets compiled into
an obj file. After the source is modified the object file is not updated
(source is not re-compiled or re-assembled). It's been a few years so my
memory might be incorrect, but as I remember it, doing a Project|Build_all
did not solve the problem.

This problem has bitten me many times. The only work around that I found
was to manually delete the object file.

Sorry for the email, Ed - I simply clicked the wrong button :)

Just in case anyone else might happen to know the answer: can #pragma
asm/endasm be used to handle this situation?

Hello,

On my site there is a script for BC++ 5.02 which solves this problem.

That is great! I'm going to bookmark that.

When others have the problem they can get a script from http://www.jogy.net/
which fixes it.

Re:inline assembly in BC5.02

This is great! I love those autobraces and stuff. However, for some reason
tasmfix doesn't seem to be working. I supplied the source/intermediate and
final paths for the projects as well, but the problem persists. The rest of
the scripts seem to be working a ok.

I searched the web for other scripts as well, one specific script in
particular - an idea that I got from MSVC. Namely, I'd really like something
that would provide the function prototype in a tooltip window as you type it
(anyone who has used MSVC6 knows what I mean (probably earlier versions have
this, too, but we only have v6 at school). Are there other similar sites on
the web that don't come up that easily in Google?
