Defining Labels with Inline Assembly

[TheInsider]

Hello,

I just downloaded a copy of Borland C++ 1.01 from the Borland Museum. Great compiler, but when I use the ASM{} directive to define Assembly code, I get "Error: Undefined label 'label1' in function clear_screen" if I try to define a label!

int clear_screen(void){
	asm{
		mov ax, 0A000h
		mov es, ax

		mov di, 00h

		label1:

			mov es:[di], 00h

			inc di

			cmp di, 0FA00h
			jl label1
	}

	return(0);
}

I've also tried _label1: and just _label1 with no ":". No matter what it completely ignores my label definition line. What is the correct syntax?

Thank you in advance,

Rob

OK, I think I found the only solution to this problem:

asm {
...
}
label1:;
asm{
...
}

It's kind of sad that I have to exit the ASM block completely to define a label, but it seems to work.
