GAS Syntax

[crazygray1]

Is there anything that changes in gcc inline asm when you use Intel syntax.

Google is your best friend here and otherwise search this forum as the subject has only been addressed a few million times before.

gcc -v --help reveals a -masm option
google gcc masm reveals gcc -masm=intel

Unfortunately, unless I misread the GCC info page, -masm=intel affects the output of GCC, i.e. what you get when you do gcc -S...

I decided against intel syntax, here is my outb function

Code: Select all

void outb(uchar_t in, uint16_t outp)
{
	asm("outb %%al,%%dx"
	    : /*none to pass*/
	    :"a" (in),"d" (outp));
};

are there any errors?

Looks fine, except for the semicolon at the end.

See here or here. Basically, use ".intel_syntax noprefix" in your assembly. Cannot find whether there's an easier way.

What's wrong with the semicolon? It doesn't need to be there but it doesn't cause any problems.

It's just weird that you would put one there where none is needed. Thats all.

The semicolon at the end of that function is Just Wrong (tm).

I think they blew up an satellite once because of a semicolon (or other character) so i would be hesitant with you remark.
