inline asm() in GCC is actually quite powerful, and understands the context of the surrounding C---in particular you can specify the inputs to the asm() block in terms of the C variables, and the compiler will arrange them correctly, even if the content of the asm() has hardware constraints of the kind 'the operands to this instruction must be in those registers': http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Extended-Asm.html I apologize if you are aware of all this and still think asm() is not powerful and/or convenient enough. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
