Hi there, can anyone help me with the following problems:

1) when using extended inline asm in djgpp, is the input registers field
limited
 to only 10 operands. Is there any way to get around the problem?

eg:
  __asm__ __volatile__
  ("
         /* asm statements*/
  "
  :
  : "g" (x1), "g" (x2), "g" (x3)... until more than 10 inputs
  : "edi","eax","ecx","ebx","memory"
  );

2) Is it possible to access C local variables in inline asm?

eg.  when we're in a function...

 (void) func(int x,int y )
 {
    int z;

   __asm__ __volatile__
   ("
       /* can we do something like in intel asm...*/
       /*  "mov [z],100" or "mov [x],255" etc...*/
  "
  );
 }

Thanx in advance!!
