How to use vectors in assembly code x86 and SSE

Question

I don't know how to access a stl vector in x86. I have tried to do it like that but I have some errors.

mov ebx, stl_vector 
mov eax, [ebx] ;Here I want to store the first element of the vector
mov edx, [ebx + 4] ; I want to store the second element of the vector

I want to do the same in SSE language.

Thank you in advance!

stl vectors are objects. Unless you know the exact class layout you can't access them directly. You should probably pass a pointer to the array and a size separately to your assembly function, e.g. asm(vector.data(), vector.size()) so the compiler takes care of the c++ stuff.
