Re: ANN: LuaJIT 1.1.1 released

[Michael Wolf <miwo@...>]

Hi,

first of all thanks for LuaJIT its a great project!

But i have one small problem with this new version, i can't get it to 
compile with MS Visual Studio 2005. But I had no problems with LuaJIT 1.1

I get following errors:

Error	581	error C2400: inline assembler syntax error in 'second 
operand'; found 'bad token'	d:\dev\luawin\luajit-1.1.1\src\ljit_x86.h	1774	

Error	582	error C2400: inline assembler syntax error in 'opcode'; found 
'bad token'	d:\dev\luawin\luajit-1.1.1\src\ljit_x86.h	1774	

Error	739	error C2400: inline assembler syntax error in 'first operand'; 
found 'bad token'	d:\dev\LuaWin\LuaJIT-1.1.1\src\ljit_backend.c	208	

It's that Microsoft special version of lua_number2int that generates the 
error:

#define lua_number2int(i,d)   __asm fld d   __asm fistp i

I have tryed to fix it but my inline assembler knowlege is very limited! 
:( The general version works without problems!

Do you have an idea why it doesn't compile?

BR
Michael
