I would like to call the pow function from inline assembly. The problem is i'm getting error C2244: 'pow' : unable to match function definition to an existing declaration. I'm new to assembly so this may be a trivial question but how do i resolve this? I guess it has something to do with the compiler not beeing able to properly resolve the overload of pow. The following code fragment is causing the error:

do_POW:
  // push first argument to the stack
  sub   esp, size value_type
  fld   qword ptr [ecx]
  fstp  qword ptr [esp]

  // push second argument to the stack
  sub   esp, size value_type
  fld   qword ptr [ecx - size value_type]
  fstp  qword ptr [esp]and pop fpu stack

  // call the pow function
  call  pow
  sub   ecx, size value_type
  fstp  qword ptr [ecx]
  add   esp, 2 * size value_type
  jmp loop_start
