Hello Aki !
The only way to use 32bit wide commands in BP7.0 ASM statements is to
use the prefix bytes of intel's 386 and newer ones.
The usage is as follows:
...
ASM
mov AX, WORD PTR [some_Word]
DB $66; mov BX, WORD PTR [some_LongInt]
END;
...
The prefix byte $66 would tell the proc that the next command opcode
has to exec with 32 bit access. The address itself is still 16:16 bits
(SEG:OFS). You could use the $67 prefix to switch the address to
16:32 bits, but without heavy workarounds it goes straight hang up
the machine.
The prefix bytes depends on the size bit in the codesegment descriptor
which would be accessed with CS reg. If the CODE segment is a 16 bit
segment (like BP7.0) it works like above. But if it is a 32 bit segment,
the effect of the prefix byte is vice versa: The ACCESS is 16 bit, but
the address is still 16:32 bits.
For a detail description I suggest you the Assembler Reference coming
with the BP7.0 paket. There is a nice table just before the list of
assembler opcodes...
Hope I could help you,
Rudi, coder for NETZWERK dev. group.
P.S.: If you still have trouble with it, send me an e-mail
(mr...@cs.uni-sb.de).
Because we develope games with BP7.0, I am looking for
a 32bit version of BPascal + 32bit DPMI-extender.
If you know where or when to get, let me know.
