__asm

}

If used without braces, the __asm keyword means that the rest of the line is an assembly-language statement. If used with braces, it means that each line between the braces is an assembly-language statement. For compatibility with previous versions, _asm is a synonym for __asm.

Since the __asm keyword is a statement separator, you can put assembly instructions on the same line.

For related information, see Assembler (Inline) Topics.

Note   Microsoft C++ does not support the AT&T C++ asm keyword.
