Hi

I tried this little test

For ML 6.14 ... 10.0
Only JWasm needs the bold .686

include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc
.686
.xmm

.code

start:   MsgBox 0, "Hello World", "Hi", MB_OK
   exit
   movups      xmm0, [esi]
end start

[dedndave]

i thought the .MMX had to go before the .XMM

[RuiLoureiro]

i thought the .MMX had to go before the .XMM

even with

           .686
           .mmx
           .xmm

i got undefined symbol :xmm0.

Has this something to do with Microsoft (R) Macro Assembler Version 6.14.8444 ?

[dedndave]

ohhhhhhhhhh
you are using masm version 6.14   :P

[RuiLoureiro]

ohhhhhhhhhh
you are using masm version 6.14   :P

Where to get the new one, Dave ?

[dedndave]

you can find 6.15 easily

http://win32assembly.programminghorizon.com/download.html

or you can d/l one of the visual studio express editions and extract the binaries
sent you a PM, Rui   :t

[RuiLoureiro]

Ok, Dave, thank you so much  :t

Do you occasionally read my posts?

occasionally, Jochen !
                The problem here is with ML 6.14 like Dave said before
               and i will try to solve it.

Hi Rui,

I had the same problem. Version 6.14.8444 comes with the current MASM32 package. That's the tricky thing.

There is no problem with 6.14, it will assemble your code
- either if you follow my scheme above (masm32rt.inc)
- or, if you insist to list the includes explicitly:

.686P
.model flat, stdcall                      ; 32 bit memory model
option casemap :none                      ; case sensitive
.xmm
The exact order is important. And don't forget the msvcrt.lib, which is of course included in the standard masm32rt.inc solution.

Hi Jochen,
                It seems i am doing what you say correctly.
                The problem is this:
                I am not able to assemble this instruction
               movups      xmm1, [esi+edx*8]                              
               I GET: instruction or register not accepted in current CPU mode.
                I dont know why.
