I found the existing docs for extended asm to be unclear and
incomplete. Rather than just complain and hope someone would fix them,
I have re-written them myself.
In general, I wrote a framework to describe the instruction, then
cut/pasted the existing text into the appropriate places in the new
doc. This has resulted in a complete re-write of section 6.41
(http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.0/gcc/Extended-Asm.html) as well
as a few new sub-sections.
I have generated a patch file for extend.texi
(http://www.LimeGreenSocks.com/gcc/extend.texi.patch), or you can
(temporarily) view the html at
http://www.limegreensocks.com/gcc/Extended-Asm.html.
No doubt I have violated a dozen of the gcc doc standards, but I believe
that overall, the content and format of the changes are a huge
improvement over the existing text.
Please let me know what I need to do to have this patch accepted.
