Re: including assembly language routines in c

Is it possible to include assembly language routines in
C if I'm using a compiler which has an assembler such as gcc? could I include them in a main function or would I have to write a seperate function? what kind of privilege level would be required to execute
a program with assembly in it? how would I denote that the following
code is assembly and thus shouldn't be checked for syntax errors?

maybe difficult to find out, if your search facility is broken.

et al.
Also, consider things like SSE intrinsics, or equivalent for your targets.
Then, if you have questions, sign up for gcc-help mailing list.
