Page 273 Limits on _asm Identifiers
Never use reserved assembly words as labels, variable names, or other
identifiers within an _asm block. This includes words in the following
categories:
ASM Opcodes such as CMP or MOV
Opcodes new to the 80186, 80286, and 80386 such as ARPLS or CLTS
Reserved operand words such as WORD or PARA
C library functions such as "exit" or "time".
For example, the following code is not permitted:
main()
{
int word;
_asm{mov WORD PTR [word], ax }
}
The variable "word" can be used in the C part of the program, but not
within the assembly block.
