[fpc-pascal]Var parameter passing to asm procedure

[Nelson M. Sicuro]

Ok, then this can be this way:

procedure increment(var x: dword); assembler;
asm
    mov eax, x
    inc [eax]
end;

Is this correct? If the compiler uses registers, the first line is  
translated to a 'mov eax, eax', otherwise it is something like 'mov eax,  
[esp-4]'.

Regards,

Nelson
