Hi,
I want to use .equ directive but I use it badly.
Can you help me ?
void main()
{
  asm(".equ HELLO, $2\n\t"
      "movb HELLO,%ah");
}

bash-2.03$ gcc -g asm.c
asm.c: In function `main':
asm.c:12: warning: return type of `main' is not `int'
/tmp/ccsR72r4.o: In function `main':
/home/devaure/tst/asm.c:13: undefined reference to `$2'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Why does it think $2 is a ref and not a number?

Alex
