[MiNT] mintlib inline asm

[Philipp Donzé <philipp.donze@epfl.ch>]

Hi,

I'm trying to get my cross-compiler (gcc v3.3.3) setup running properly.
And as a part of it I wanted to compile mintlib, cflib and others from 
CVS.
So I was confronted with the ugly message:
"error: asm-specifier for variable `retvalue' conflicts with asm 
clobber list"

This error appears always when a "trap_x_x" macros is called. I wanted 
to eliminate this problem.
So I studied the assembler part of gcc manual and made some tests. 
There I found the following (which even can be found in the 2.95.3 
manual):
"It is an error for a clobber description to overlap an input or output 
operand (for example, an operand describing a register class with one 
member, mentioned in the clobber list)."

And just this is always the case in the macros I've seen so far. So how 
do you compile this libraries? Isn't it an error? Or does the 2.95.3 
compiler ignore this problem?

Is this problem the cause why it is recommended to use gcc 2.95.3 or do 
I miss the point?

Now I'm trying to correct the assembler inlines so I get it to compile 
without errors. Later on I'll have to test it...
