Assembly CAS implementation

inline unsigned char BSS_FASTCALL asmcas(int *pval, int newval, int oldval)
{
unsigned char rval;
__asm {
#ifdef BSS_NO_FASTCALL //if we are using fastcall we don't need these instructions
mov EDX, newval
mov ECX, pval
#endif
mov EAX, oldval
lock cmpxchg [ECX], EDX
sete rval // Note that sete sets a 'byte' not the word
}
return rval;
}

This was an absolute bitch to get working in VC++, so maybe this will be useful to someone, somewhere, somehow. The GCC version I based this off of can be found here.

Note that, obviously, this will only work on x86 architecture.
