Hi,

I know this is an offtopic topic, But i cant see a section i the forum to post this kind of questions.

I have a vc6 project in which i uses some assemly code. I am not an expert in assembly programming.

The problem is with the DIV instruction. when ever i try to call DIV an integer overflow occurs.

Here is a sample code

_asm

{

mov ebx, 1

mov eax, 5

div ebx //integer overflow error

}

Please help to solve the issue

Regards

    • To divide two 32bit integers you need to zero-extend the eax register into edx. Add a mov edx, 0, and you'll be ready to go.
