The answers I received to my query about how to use gcc in conjunction with inline libraries such as libm.il showed such a general lack of certainty on the matter it seemed worth posting the correct (at least one correct) answer that I devised through the good graces and advice of Guy Harris. He pointed me to the inline(1) function that allowed me to work out a solution. Therefore, I discovered that one can use assembly language inline functions successfully with gcc through the following three steps: 1. use gcc to compile your code to assembly language (-S option). 2. Use inline to replace calls in your code with the appropriate inline routines. 3. Use gcc to assemble, optimize and link your code into a executable module. It works like a charm! I would still be interested in other approaches if they exist. AARON KONSTAM Trinity University AKONSTAM@TRINITY.BITNET
