While I do think having inlinable assembler would be a nice thing to have, I think it'd be a lot of work (one would have to assign params and results to registers as well as used regs). But the problem with ROR/ROL is that any real use over shr/shl uses a hard to model carry flag? _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
