SSE problems with MASM 10?

[liamo1]

I get the error

error A2070:invalid instruction operands

on the following line of code

Code Select Expand

movsd   xmm1, [edi] ;copy edi into xmm1. high quadword is zeroed out.

It compiled ok with previous versions of ml. Just wondering if anyone else came across this?

If in doubt, use the linker for MASM 10.00 to disassemble your earlier code. LINK -dump -disasm FOO.EXE

Your options:

Code Select Expand

movlps xmm0, qword ptr [edi] ; does not clear the high quadword
movsd xmm1, qword ptr [edi] ; chokes with ML 6.15
movq xmm2, qword ptr [edi] ; does clear the high quadword

Just an update. Thanks to jj2007 I used the qword ptr prefix on [edi] and it worked with both movsd and movq. movapd did not throw this error!

Thanks

With movapd, qword is implicit.
