RE: ltr() from locore.h seems a bit wierd with gcc

You're absolutely right...insofar as it's working is concerned.
Compiled and ran like a charm....
I wonder how VSTa is doing it with the self compile?

shouldnt it be ltr %%ax? the task register is loaded with a pointer into
the GDT which containes a special entry for the current task state
segment...
gdt entries are indexed by 16 bit values not 32... at least that is what i
use in my code.. (not VSTa) which seems to compile fine under newest
egcs(gcc).
