Inline assembly means you have to have the assembly code for each supported platform in the code with all the conditionals to the compiler. Having separate files is often much easier to manage and to build from. OK so D only support Intel processors just now so only one inline assembly type, but this is part of the problem not the solution. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
