Thread: playing with physical ports ?

In assembly there are IN and OUT commands, does C/C++ have something like it, without mixing assembly in the code (asm {}).

Thanks.

You can playing with physical ports in 'c' using
"inp()" and "outp()" and other this series of functions.

Thanks

The functions inp() and outp() are not standard C functions, so your compiler might not support it.

Info on IO port programming for Linux:

If you use GCC, then you can use inp() and outp(), you need to include pc.h for that.

That's a different problem i'm having, I know assembly, but I don't know how to link it.

i write the next in my c code:

Code:

asm 
 {
   // some assembly ops comes here
 }

but it does not compile...
I know I need to link something so it will work, but what?

I'm using Borland 5.5 compiler, on windows.

That's because you're on the C board. 'asm' is a C++ keyword. The same goes for 'inline', unless they have added both in C99.

Quzah.
