Problems with assembler-inline-code with standard builder
Ralf Wehling
I work on a project which use an ADU on a serial port. I developed a
assembler inline routine
which worked fine with a small program . After developing (and
expanding) the main program the IDE the compiler generate an asm file
instead of an exe file. (i made no change in options.....??????????).
What happens???
A try to link the obj file was also without success....
Who can help?

From the subject I take it that you are using Borland C++ Builder
"Standard" edition.
When you write inline assembler code, BCB will automatically switch to
generating ASM source files which then will have to "compiled" with
Turbo Assembler (TASM).
As Borland C++ Builder "Standard" does not come with TASM (only Pro
and C/S do), you face a problem.
Three solutions:
- Upgrade to a copy of C++ Builder Pro (IMO the best choice)
- Purchase TASM 5.0
- Rewrite your inline assembler code in the "Delphi" part of
C++ Builder (i.e. as an Object Pascal assembler-only routine)
There you do not need an external assembler.

This sounds like an interesting approach to those very few times one needs
to do this, in my case at least<g>. However having no experience with
Object Pascal and very little with assembler, is there a faq or tutorial
you know of that describes the use of ASM in delphi source files?

unit ThisIsAssembler;
interface
procedure AProcedure; register; // use __fastcall calling convention
implementation
procedure AProcedure; register; assembler;
asm
int 3
// Well, simply assembler - see docs
end;
end.

Well, that looked more straightforward then I thought<g>.
Thanks for the info...
