Hi,
I tried this piece of code.
-----testmac.c-----------
#include <mmintrin.h>
int main()
{
__m64 m1 = 12;
__m64 m2 = 24;
__m64 m3;
asm ("pmaddwd m1,m2\n\t");
m3 = m1;
return;
}
and tried compiling using> gcc -mmmx testmac.c
I get the foll ERROR:
/tmp/cc0rnlnq.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc0rnlnq.s:18: Error: too many memory references for `pmaddwd'
though i could find nothing wrong in usage of asm ("pmaddwd m1,m2\n\t");
Please help me if I am missing something.
Thanks,
Prakash.
