Not clear in the first message, (and maybe not in this one too..), sorry


This asm inline was something like a "test/patch code".

I try to have a simple :

char        **ap = (char **)(&fmt);

working, It didn't :
ap was equal to &fmt BUT *ap wasn't equal to fmt (don't kown why...)

so i try by my self... to do :

ap = &fmt;
*ap = fmt;

in asm inline.... (dirty i know...)

problem is :
With this asm code in the binary *s is equal to fmt
Without this asm code in the binary *s isn't equal to fmt


All the 's' variable stuffs are from my debug...
Again :
My only aim is to have an 'ap = &fmt' valid (->ap = &fmt AND *ap = fmt)

The resulting asm was here to help you to understand wath's wrong ....
I'm looking for some days now without answer...
