Cant't assemble PADDQ

[Eddy]

Following code gives me an "error A2008: syntax error : xmm"
I assume it's the PADDQ that is causing the error as it works with PADDD.
Do I need to change some of MASMs settings/directives to make this work?

Code Select Expand


.686
option casemap:none
.mmx
.xmm
.model flat, stdcall

paddq MM2, MM0
also does not work...

Hi Eddy,

I don't know a whole lot about this, but PADDQ is apparently an SSE2 instruction that MASM 6.14 does not recognize. I can assemble your code OK with MASM 6.15, available here:

http://spiff.tripnet.se/~iczelion/download.html

There is also a set of macros that are supposed to add SSE2 support to MASM 6.14 available here:

http://www.masmforum.com/simple/index.php?topic=973.0

But in my quick test I could not get either of the two versions of the include file to work (for your code, they may work fine for other code).

Michael,

I had read something on these forums about MASM 6.15. I checked my version. It said V8.2 so I thought I was okay...

I'll download MASM 6.15 from the link you posted.
Thanks !!

Kind regards
Eddy

Think I get it.. MASM32 8.2 is the complete package, while MASM 6.14/6.15 is the assembler..?   :U

Kind regards

MASM 6.15 assembles my code above without a problem, Michael.
Thanks !!   :U

Thanks--this was useful for me as I was trying to compile the assembly version of zlib, a compression library:  http://www.zlib.net/.  The version of MASM that came with MSDN, 6.11, got A2008 assembly errors on the zlib source.
