[Bug 789031] Re: Built-in ASM constraint "rm" does not work (i386)

[Matthias Klose]

afaiu, there is no way to say to use all free register's, and for the
rest memory. the "r" constraint cannot be fulfilled for all operands.
use a "m" constraint for the last to operands, and the code builds.

Title:
  Built-in ASM constraint "rm" does not work (i386)

Status in “gcc-4.5” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Try to compile the attached program with "gcc -O2 -g test.c" on i386.
  It fails with this error:

  test.c: In function ‘main’:
  test.c:7:3: error: can't find a register in class ‘GENERAL_REGS’ while reloading ‘asm’
  test.c:7:3: error: ‘asm’ operand has impossible constraints

  As I understand it, the correct behaviour would be to use memory for
  some parameters and registers for other parameters as I specifically
  allow both.
