I would like to know how i can put assembler instructions in an

This is highly target and implementation dependent, so the question cannot
be answered without knowing exactly what version of what compiler you
are using on what machine with what operating system.

In general this is the kind of question which will have a detailed answer
and you will need to read the documentation that comes with your compiler.

All versions of GNAT support a full implementation of package Machine_Code
and also the use of intrinsics. For full details on how to use this you
will have to read the section on "Machine Code Insertions" in the GNAT
reference manual, and most likely also the relevant sections in the
"Using and Porting GNU CC" manual if you are not familiar with the use
of machine language insertions in GNU C (since GNAT shares the same
approach).
