Probs using C params with inline assembly

Lloyd Sargent

Is there a method for using inline assembly AND the variables passed to it? I understand the requirement for using SRC, but it makes things a wee bit unmaintainable.

For example:

void test(char value)
{
    char dummy;
 
#pragma asm
        mov a,value
        mov dummy,a
#pragma endasm
}

Generates the following code:

?_test?BYTE:
      value?040:   DS   1
    ORG  1
      dummy?041:   DS   1


    RSEG  ?PR?_test?CREDMSGS
    USING   0
_test:
    MOV     value?040,R7
                     ; SOURCE LINE # 172
; {
                     ; SOURCE LINE # 173
;    char dummy;
;    
; #pragma asm
;     mov a,value
      mov a,value
;     mov dummy,a
      mov dummy,a
; #pragma endasm
; }
                     ; SOURCE LINE # 180
    RET     
; END OF _test

The unfortunate part about this is that should someone need to modify this source, what was value?040 could be something like value?140.

This is a small function to merely illustrate a problem I am having with a much larger function (with many more parameters). Is there a way out of this maintenance nightmare (other than moving a SINGLE function to an asm source file)? I would rather like to use the parameter and local variable without having to worry that future changes are going to muck up naming.

Cheers,

Lloyd
