Over the years there has been a great deal of traffic on these lists caused by misunderstandings of GCC's inline assembler. That's partly because it's inherently tricky, but the existing documentation needs to be improved.
dw <limegreenso...@yahoo.com> has done a fairly thorough reworking of the documentation. I've helped a bit. Section 6.41 of the GCC manual has been rewritten. It has become: 6.41 How to Use Inline Assembly Language in C Code 6.41.1 Basic Asm - Assembler Instructions with No Operands 6.41.2 Extended Asm - Assembler Instructions with C Expression Operands We could simply post the patch to GCC-patches and have at it, but I think it's better to discuss the document here first. You can read it at http://www.LimeGreenSocks.com/gcc/Basic-Asm.html http://www.LimeGreenSocks.com/gcc/Extended-Asm.html http://www.LimeGreenSocks.com/gcc/extend04.zip (contains .texi, .patch, and affected html pages) All comments are very welcome. Andrew.
