Hi, I have an oddball question: I looking for a compiler (not gcc) that can handle things like the following snippet, which is pure AT&T syntax i386 assembler /----------- start of snippet -------------- / Allocate new counter addl $4,%eax / compute ptr to call count (counter.count) movl %eax,(%edx) / and store it in caller's ptr movl 0(%esp),%edx movl %edx,-4(%eax) / set proc addr in counter structure movl $1,(%eax) / init call count (skip increment) jmp .ret /----------- end of snippet -------------- I do not wish to start changing the source rather I am looking for a compiler that will process it in unmodified form (and without resorting to pre-processor or other "tricks"? Will the compiler in current FreeBSD do what I want please ? If it will also accept (pre-ANSI) K&R Whitebook C that would be even better. Note I am not a newbie! great weekend and regards, Dave
