Inline assembly syntax?

[_martin_]

Hello,

I'm trying to compile a project with Intel C++ Compiler which compiles very well with Microsoft VS 2005 Compiler.

with Intel C++ Compiler 9.1 this inline code:
__asm movaps xmm6, qword ptr [g_vifRow1]
produces this error: __asm 'movaps' Bad memvx128 qualifier

if i remove the 'qword ptr' operator on this line
__asm movaps xmm6, [g_vifRow1] compiles very well but i'm sure it does something different (sorry i'm not much into asm)

what does the errormessage mean?

One of our engineers has this comment:

"The memory reference in the movaps instruction is 128 bits.You should use XMMWORD instead of QWORD."

Hi, the problem is not in assembly syntax but in datatype. You shouldn't use

movaps xmm6, qword ptr [g_vifRow1]

because "qword ptr" means pointer to quadword ((sizeof(word) * 4) bytes). You should use pointer to xmmword ((it is a new datatype comming with SSE) 16 bytes) if you use XMM registers

movaps xmm6, xmmword ptr [g_vifRow1]

But in generaly it is not needed to write "xmmword ptr" because the compiler knows what datatype to load into register. So it is enough to write

movaps xmm6, [g_vifRow1]
