Page  252  Error Message C2418

The following error message is new and should be added to Page 252:

  C2418  'identifier': not in a register

  This error occurs when an in-line assembler instruction
  references a variable with register storage class that has not
  actually been allocated in a register. To correct this, remove the
  register keyword from the variable definition and make sure that
  this instruction is legal with a memory operand.

For Example:

  main()
  {
   register long regvar1;   /* _asm references are illegal */
   register int regvar2;
   register int regvar3;
   register int regvar4;

   _asm
   {
    les regvar2, regvar1;    /* error */
    mov regvar2, regvar4;    /* error */
   }
  }
