[Bug c/14090] New: inline asm statement only compiles with -O

[weimer at cs dot berkeley dot edu]

The following 18-line program (adapted from the linux 2.4.24 scheduler) compiles
with "gcc -c -O min.c" but does not compile with "gcc -c min.c" on x86/linux. It
is my belief that -O should not change the set of acceptable programs. It seems
unlikely that you'll be able to "fix" this, but I think it at least worth
documenting (in the reported error message itself, if possible). Thanks!

/* begin: min.c */
struct thread_struct {
   unsigned long eip ;
   unsigned long esp ;
};
struct task_struct {
   struct thread_struct thread ;
};
void ( __attribute__((__regparm__(0))) schedule)(void) 
{ struct schedule_data *sched_data ;
  struct task_struct *prev ;
  struct task_struct *next ;
    __asm__  volatile ("nop": 
                       "=m" (prev->thread.esp), 
                       "=m" (prev->thread.eip),
                       "=b" (prev): 
                       "m" (next->thread.esp), "m" (next->thread.eip),
                       "a" (prev), "d" (next), "b" (prev));
}
/* eof: min.c */

Here's a log of it failing to compile without -O on a newly-built gcc 3.3.2, and
then working with -O. Same behavior (slightly different error message: "fixed or
forbidden register 6 (bp) was spilled for class GENERAL_REGS") with gcc 2.95.4.
