           Summary: Invalid code when using register ... asm
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: tree-optimization

            Target: powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu


A gcc build from yesterday (4.6.0 20110113) fails when building a ppc64 Linux
kernel. A cut down testcase:

struct thread_info {
        int preempt_count;
};

static inline struct thread_info *current_thread_info(void)
{
        register struct thread_info *sp asm("r1");
        return sp;
}

void testcase(void)
{
        current_thread_info()->preempt_count += 1;
}

compiled with -O2:

# gcc -O2 -S testcase.s

has the add optimised away:

.L.testcase:
