GCC inline assembly

[Ganesh Tawde]

Hi.

I am trying to use the below pure assembly code as inline assembly in
C. The pure assembly code gives proper data but the inline assembly
code gives me distorted data. I am not able to figure out the problem.
can any body help me on this?

here is the working pure assembly function
************************************************** ***********************

@AREA ARM , CODE ,READONLY
@;--------------------------------------------------------------
@ ;dec2 assembly code called from res2_inv.c
@;--------------------------------------------------------------

.global dec2

dec2:
stmdb r13!, {r4-r12, lr}

ldmia r3!,{r6,r7}

mov r14,r7 @n
mov r8,r6 @shift

mov r3,r8

dec2loop:

ldmgeda r2!, {r12}
ldmgeia r12!, {r8, r9}
ldmgeia r0, {r4, r5}
ldmgeia r1, {r6, r7}
add r4,r4,r8, asr r3
add r6,r6,r9, asr r3

ldmgeda r2!, {r12}
ldmgeia r12!, {r8, r9}
add r5,r5,r8, asr r3
add r7,r7,r9, asr r3

stmgeia r0!, {r4, r5}
stmgeia r1!, {r6, r7}

subs r14, r14, #2
bne dec2loop

ldmia r13!, {r4-r12,pc}

Perhaps someone on gnu.gcc.help

Sorry, but the C programming language does not provide any support for
inline assembly.

If you need a gcc-specific solution (as your subject line suggests),
then read the gcc documentation (the real thing, not the man page).

GNU C does support inline assembly, but the issue is too complex to
be answered (other than by RTFM) even in a newsgroup dedicated to
helping gcc users.
