what I don't get is why although it jumps to the middle of the pewp() functions, it still sets the variables properly...
does this mean that, when the rest of the code gets compiled, the a= and b= in pewp() get sent to the same spot in memory that the a= and b= in main() would have? If I name the variables in pewp() c and d it still sets a and b in main(), so are these variables put on the stack or what? I guess I have lots to learn about what happens to the data in different declarations -.-

Into the midnight giving it to you, I don't know it just feels right.

Yes, a and b in both main() and pewp() are declared on the stack in the same way. As you have identical declarations (just a and b) for each function you can jump into pewp() and it uses the stack allocated by main(). This may be an interesting exercise, but I hope you don't need me to tell you that doing anything close to this in software you might want to use is a complete no-no. Have fun experimenting though!

Good-luck keeping your sanity that way. You should just leave that as behind the scenes stuff.

I tried compiling that with vc++ 2008 Express, and the Microsoft compiler hates it. It doesn't like the "c\n\t" part.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Didn't know this but in C++ you can use pointers or references to achieve the same as you did ...
yeah, I know it's definitely a no-no, I just thought it was kind of cool, being able to cheat the compiler. Get back at it, for all these years of yelling at me, and telling me how wrong I am. Take that!
And the inline-assembly portion of it is compiler specific, since I just use a text editor and not an IDE I had to look up how to do it with my compiler, I'm using gcc- I believe vc++ uses
and yeah, it would be better done with references but I just thought it was awesome. I wonder what would happen if the a and b in pewp() were defined as strings, or something else--how that would affect the stack in main().

__asm__ either followed by an instruction or followed by several, on separate lines between braces (without the \n\t or quotes)--also, I believe gcc uses at&t assembly format while vc++ uses something else...and yeah, it would be better done with references but I just thought it was awesome.
