Those two lines of code are assembly language, not any version of C. This is the kind of stuff that C/C++ compiles down to.

These two lines of code are meaningless without the much larger block of code around them. There is no way to "convert" those lines of code to C++. You have to evaluate the code that they are in and then write C++ code equivalent to the entire block, if possible.

You didn't listen to a single word I said. Those two lines of code have absolutely no meaning what-so-ever. It's IMPOSSIBLE to convert them to C/C++.

ECX is a CPU register, the two labels BYTE_BCAD72 and SUB_4ABCGA are not defined in your code to there is no value to move into ECX and no way to call a sub that you don't have defined.

You don't, because these 2 lines have no meaning.

Learn properly C++

Here is links to references books on C and C++ by the authors of the languages. Note than C is the ancestor of C++, so knowing C is always useful with C++.

Solution 1

you'd use __asm or __asm__ depending on your compiler

having said that, neither BYTE_BCAD72 or SUB_4ABCGA symbols would be defined in your code, so it probably wouldn't do what you wanted anyway, and ECX would be trashed too ...
