RE: Using gcc to compiler assembly

["Joseph D. Wagner" <wagnerjd@prodigy.net>]

What you've got isn't pure Assembly; it's some strange jumble of C and
Assembly.

To include Assembly in C, use
asm {
	;	// Assembly Code Here
}

or 

__asm {
	;	// Assembly Code Here
}

depending on the compiler.

To program in pure Assembly, ditch GCC.  Go with NASM.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nasm

And based on your lack of distinction between C and Assembly, I also
recommend:

Gurus,

How to use GCC compiling assembly codes? I attached my example code and 
tried gcc -c -o foo.o foo.S. This line "typedef foo_bar_t int;" choked.
I 
read the Makefiles for linux kernel and still could not understand how
these 
assebmly codes were compiled by GCC.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew
