Hi,

I am wondering - is there a command line switch I can call GCC with that
will identify the GCC version - I think I still have an older one and I just
want to check if this so - I then want to go to 2.8.1 if I am behind - how
can I check my current GCC's version?

I recently encountered a similar problem under Allegro while doing graphics
programming using NASM (a so called "demo") - I found that any compound
instructions such as LODS STOS etc. where a no no - Allegro didn't seem to
like me putting ANY descriptor other than the default one in DS - some of
the compound instructions use DS as an implied "segment" register and all
Allegro functions want valid descriptors (to Allegro, not DPMI "valid") in
DS - so I rewrote my code to use my own versions of the compound
instructions - LODSB becomes mov al,[es:si] inc esi - +- - try it and see if
the problem goes away.
