HELP ME Obiwan .. / undeclared reference to

[dbrenchley]

In An Arduino environment using Atmel Visual Studio / Visual Micro ..
attempting a call to an asm routine.
having linker issues, I believe ..

In a header ..

#ifndef leds_asm_isr_H_
#define leds_asm_isr_H_
extern "C" void ASM_ISR(uint32_t *, uint32_t **, uint32_t **, uint32_t **, uint32_t const *, uint32_t);
#endif 

In the "main" ...

#include "leds_asm_isr.h"

void TCC0_Handler(){ 	// Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) for timer TCC0
ASM_ISR(&iCount, &Strip4_mask_pntr, &Strip4_pntr, &Strip4_base_pntr, &Strip4_Num_LED, CC3_Addr);
}

and in the asm ..

.text
.global ASM_ISR 
/* R0 = iCount addr, R1=Strip4_mask_pntr addr, R2 = Strip4_pntr addr, R3 = Strip4_base_pntr addr, Stack = Strip4_Num_LED addr, CC addr */
ASM_ISR:
		cpsid i									@ disable all interrupts
		ldr r4, [r0, #0]						@ get iCounter
		cmp	r4,#0								@ is iCount = 0 ?
		beq	ext									@ exit routine if so
		pop {r4}								@ CC Addr
		pop {r5}								@ Num LEDs Addr

		mov r6, r2								@ get array pointer address
		add r6, #4								@ increment array pntr address
		lsl	r5, r5, #2							@ multi num leds x4 for address calculation
		add r5, r5, r3							@ point to end of array
		cmp r6, r5								@ are we at the last array element
		bne	jmp2								@ if not jmp
		ldr r6, [r3, #0]						@ array pointer back to top of array
jmp2:	str r4, [r1, #0]						@ mask reg to memory
		str r6, [r2, #0]						@ array pointer to memory
		pop {r0}								@ get iCount address
		ldr r4, [r0, #0]						@ get iCount
		sub r4, #1								@ Decrement iCount
		str r4, [r0, #0]						@ iCount to memory
ext:	cpsie i									@ Enable interrupts
		bx    lr								@ Exit
.end

In the noted IDE I error out on build w/ undeclared reference to ASM_ISR .. if I attempt via the Arduino IDE I get identifier or ( expected before "C" ..

thoughts .. guidance ??? Appreciated !!!

Just out of interest, are there substantial advantages in programming an Arduino in assembler? Presumably there is an advantage given Arduino's limited memory.
