assembly language in c

[pasholy]

Hi,

does anyone know how to use assembly language in c and what libraries are needed?

thanks

hmmm, i thought assembly is assembly and c is c, so you can only use one language at a time

Hey pasholy,

To add inline assembly, all you need to do is include

__asm__(" foobar");

For instance;

unsigned long get_sp(void)
{
__asm__("movl %esp %eax");
}

Alastair,

It's actually (somewhat) common practice to use asm and c together. A loop in ASM is a lot faster, so a lot of people will use it for those reasons.

I have a friend that works for an oil company programming in python and java. He had to write an interpreter in python that takes java code in python code as far as I remember.

thanks a lot for that answer. I couldn't find the answer anywhere else.

The reason why I am asking is that I want to make a cd encryptor. So if I have a large .exe on my cd I don't want to copy the thing to a temp file on my drive, decrypt it, than run it. I also don't want to put the whole thing in ram. I want to link my application with the .exe. So that when the file gets clicked. My application starts and than decides whether to allow the .exe to run. I thought I could do that with assembly, but am not sure how. Is there an easier way for me to do it?

I'm not sure how you would go about doing that. I've never done anything similar, and I'm not overly familiar with assembly either!

Good luck though!
