Use gcc inline assembly Nothing extra needed in compilation just gcc hello.c eg:- asm mov ah,0x0E; asm volatile("mov $0x0E,%ah" Read online documentation (google) regarding gcc inline assembly and at&t assembly notation. It is quite opposite to Intel ASM Notation eg- mov ah,0x0E (INTEL ASSEMBLER SYNTAX) is mov $0x0e,%ah (AT&T used by GCC) Here is a example compilation is gcc file.c ./a.out ----------------------------------- #include <stdio.h> int a=10; int b=20; int result; int main() { asm( "movl a,%eax\n\t" "movl b,%ebx\n\t" "imull %ebx,%eax\n\t" "movl %eax,result\n\t" ); printf("%d*%d=%d\n",a,b,result); return 0; } ~ -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
