[Solved] Coding with assembler in SourcePawn

2010kohtep · **Author**

Good day.

Is there any way to code in SourcePawn using assembler opcodes? As far as I know, you have ability to write asm code in Pawn by using "#emit" compiler directive, but SourcePawn compiler doesn't know about it (no matter what I tried, always the same error "unknown directive"). Any ideas about this? Thanks.

You can use assembler opcodes in the older compiler 1.6.4v however you won't beable to compile the new syntax with it.

Lux,
It's helpful information, thank you, but here's another question, if you don't mind. Can memory of SourcePawn plugins interact with memory of DLL/SO libraries? For example, I want to put address of global variable of my plugin in x86 assembly code as argument of "push" or "call" instructions. Is it possible?

No, SourcePawn by itself is sandboxed into its own memory space - you need to use natives provided by SourceMod to access the outside world.

SourcePawn is a VM language, the assembly you write for it is using SourcePawn opcodes, not x86 assembly.
