Re: Problem with compiling the VP31 Codec source code.

Oops, wrote that without trying...

__asm _emit 0x66
__asm _emit 0x0F
__asm _emit 0x57
__asm _emit 0xc0

This looks better in the disassembly.

Or replace the original __asm line with these two. But I cannot remember
if vc6 understands _emit.

__asm _emit 0x0F
__asm _emit 0x57

They might wanted to check for OS support afterall. (looking at the
function's name tell me this... :)

Try this instead of that weird approach.

int WillametteNewInstructionOSSupport()
{
unsigned int i = 0;
__asm mov eax, 1
__asm cpuid
__asm mov i, edx
return (i & 0x04000000) ? 1 : 0;
}

Hi Experts,

I have problem when compiling the VP31 Codec source code. I am using
Visual Studio 6 with the installation of Service Pack 5. I have already
install the pocessor pack and include the "iaxmm.inc".

The ASM files are compiled perfectly. Unfortunately, the inline
assembling code can not recognize the xmm0 to 7 valuables.

I am sure that the ASM files with xmm0 to 7 is recognized and compiled
with no error. But in inline assembler, it compained. Can someone
please point me to the right direction to solve this problem.

To show the error more clearly, a choicen error code segment is shown
below:

int WillametteNewInstructionOSSupport()
{
__try
{
__asm xorpd xmm0, xmm0
}
__except(EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER)
{
if(_exception_code())
{
return 0;
}
return 0;
}
return 1;
}

The error is :
C:\Documents and
Settings\ferdinandn\Desktop\vp32\tar\CoreLibs\CpuID\Win32\Wmt_CpuID.cpp(136)
: error C2400: inline assembler syntax error in 'opcode'; found 'xmm0'

I am suspecting that my setup is something wrong, I also place the
linking setting of this project.
/nologo /G6 /MTd /W3 /Gm /GX /Zi /Od /I "..\..\Include" /I
"..\..\..\Include" /I "Include" /I "..\..\..\Include\VP31" /I
"..\..\Include\VP31" /D "WIN32" /D "_DEBUG" /D "_WINDOWS" /D "_MBCS" /D
"_USRDLL" /D "VP31VFW_EXPORTS" /D "VP30_COMPRESS" /D "DXV_DECOMPRESS"
/Fo"Debug/" /Fd"Debug/" /FD /GZ /c

Thank you for helping me.

Best Regards
Ferdinand
