     Compiler error C2423
 
     'number' : illegal scale
 
     The number used to scale a register in an inline assembler routine
     was illegal.
 
     Registers can be scaled only by 1, 2, 4, or 8.
 
     The following code generates this error:
 
     _asm
          {
            lea    EAX, [EAX*3]            //Error
            lea    EAX, [EAX+EAX*2]        //OK
          }
                                    -♦-
