For that we use two macros to declare the clobbers. +XMM_CLOBBERS should be used when there are other clobbers, for example: +__asm__(".." ::: XMM_CLOBBERS("xmm0",) "eax"); +and XMM_CLOBBERS_ONLY should be used when the only clobbers are xmm registers: +__asm__(".." :: XMM_CLOBBERS_ONLY("xmm0")); Do not expect a compiler to maintain values in your registers between separate (inline) asm code blocks. It is not required to. For example, this is bad: |
