Hi everyboy!

I'm having serious troubles using xmm[0...7] registers into gcc inlines. The error I get is:
what I understand is that the function I'm trying to compile uses too many `GENERAL_REGS' registers but, do xmm registers belong to this group? aren't they a special set of registers in the SSE area?
Could it be that the function uses too many intermediate registers from the general registers group? In that case, how could I avoid such behaviour?

The problem occurs whenever I try to use the xmm intensively; if I don't use SSE extensions eveything goes ok, but I NEED xmm registers!

Thanks in advance!!!
Best regards

PS BTW, if it is necessary I'll post the piece of code; I just didn't want to post a too long question...

How do you compile the program? Do you use the right compiling option to have support for the registers?

thanks for the reply
to be honest, I'm not sure (I'd like that this is the problem...)
I've tried some combinations and I get always the same.
Anyway, what are the right options? something like this:
?
Should they be in any particular order?

Regards

Try to add -O3 and -fomit-frame-pointer
