Subject: Another clobber problem
Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2006 14:24:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <12011776.1164119032361.JavaMail.?@fh1035.dia.cp.net> (raw)

What's the right way of telling gcc that an input register is 
clobbered?

I've two asm statements in the same function, both of which have "a" 
(a) as an input constraint; the code corrupts RAX, and the optimiser is 
not reloading a into RAX before starting the second bit of code.

If I add "rax" to the clobbers list, I get an error

modp2.cpp:55: error: can't find a register in class ___AREG___ while 
reloading ___asm___

Also: how do I refer to r8 through r15 in register constraints on 
x64?  If I replace "r" (p) by "r9" (p) in the second asm statement, I 
get an error

modp2.cpp:64: error: matching constraint references invalid operand 
number
