Try to separate two problems. First, figure out how to write it in a pure assembly. And then find a way how to put it through the compiler (gnu-inline assembler, inline templates whatever). Unfortunately my sparc assembler knowledge is minimal, so I cant help with the first one. regards, Fedor. > > Thanks for all the help anyway. > > BR, > Mladen > -- > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > tools-compilers mailing list > tools-compilers at opensolaris.org
