    The following are 32-bit macros I found in a DJGPP assembly tutorial
somewhere:

// MACRO FOR 32 BIT MEMORY MOVE (used to copy double_buffer to
// video_buffer

#define rep_movsl(src, dest, numwords) \
__asm__ __volatile__ ( \
  "cld\n\t" \
  "rep\n\t" \
  "movsl" \
  : : "S" (src), "D" (dest), "c" (numwords) \
  : "%ecx", "%esi", "%edi" )

// MACRO TO SET BITS (32-bits at a time), used in filling the double
// buffer using LONG WORDS ; ]

#define rep_stosl(value, dest, numwords) \
__asm__ __volatile__ ( \
  "cld\n\t" \
  "rep\n\t" \
  "stosl" \
  : : "a" (value), "D" (dest), "c" (numwords) \
  : "%ecx", "%edi" )

    Enjoy! & I hope these help.
