Re: [Dev-C++] inline assembly in winnt.h

Hi Thoralf,
 
Possibly a missing semi-colon?
 
Try:
    DWORD ShiftCount
    );
Instead of 
    DWORD ShiftCount
    )

I'm basing that on the first error, and the complaints of missing ";".  Possibly a problem with the formatting of Int64ShllMod32 parameters?

Hi there,


I hope this is the right place to ask this question -
I've been searching both the archive and the web, to
no avail ...

I'm just trying to compile a project (GEM for Pure
Data, CVS version, see
http://gem.iem.at/download.html#CVS) that involves
some DirectShow stuff. Of course, a bunch of M$
libraries is needed for this, and Dev-C++ (or, for
that matter, MinGW or g++) chokes on some inline
assembly in winnt.h (lines 588 ff.), which is part of
the MS Platform SDK.

Here's the relevant code:

#if _MSC_VER >= 1200
#pragma warning(push)
#endif
#pragma warning(disable:4035 4793) //
re-enable below

__inline ULONGLONG
NTAPI
Int64ShllMod32 (
ULONGLONG Value,
DWORD ShiftCount
)
{
__asm {
mov ecx, ShiftCount
mov eax, dword ptr [Value]
mov edx, dword ptr [Value+4]
shld edx, eax, cl
shl eax, cl
}
}

and the error messages:
