Hi,

I wrote inline assembly code to access the control register CR0  and
compiled it under djgpp. It ran O.k. in window DOS but gave me general
protection fault under pure DOS environment. The code is as follows.


---------------------------
#include <stdio.h>



unsigned long
getCR0()
{
 unsigned long  result=0;

 __asm__ __volatile__
 ("pushl %%ebx\n
  movl %%cr0, %%ebx\n
  movl %%ebx, %0\n
  popl %%ebx\n"
  : "=b" (result)
  :
  : "%ebx","%cc", "memory"
 );
 return result;
}


void
main()
{
 unsigned long result;

 result=getCR0();
 printf("inside getCR0: result=0x%x\n", result);

}
------------------------

I was able to access registers such as eax and ebx using the same inline
technique under DOS. Anything that I should be aware of?  Thanks.

Jay
