how to insert an asm instruction in C code and how to compile it

how to insert an asm instruction in C code and how to compile it

[Srinivas G.]

Dear All,

I am very sorry for asking such a silly question here.

I have small doubt about ASM code in a C program. Actually I want to
insert some asm instructions in a C program and after that I want to
compile the C program. 

I want to include the following code in a simple C program and compile
it.

#define printf DbgPrint

int main()
{
	printf("Hello world program!\n");
	return 0;
}
void DbgPrint(char* str,...)
{
	volatile USHORT i = 0;
    	volatile UCHAR sch;
	while(str[i])
	{
		sch = str[i];
		i ++;
		asm mov ah,0x0E;
		asm mov al,sch;
		
		asm cmp	al,0ah 
		asm jne	test
		asm mov	al,0dh     //; new line
		asm mov	bx,07h
		asm int	10h
		asm mov	al,0ah
test:
		asm mov bx,0x07
		asm int 0x10
	}
}

Please let me know how to do it?

Any links or Howtos are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Srinivas G

Well, even if you could make the correct assembly, you would
not be able to run the BIOS-based program that you show. As
soon as you execute the interrupt 0x10, your program will seg-fault
because it is an invalid instruction in user-mode code and
would even cause an invalid oprand fault in kernel mode.

The second problem with your code is that __all__ of the assembly
for the entire procedure must be written in one block, not
with seperate "asm" instructions. This is because 'C' isn't
going to preserve the values in the registers between "asm"
blocks.
