Yup. PowerPC's %L (not just 32-bit btw) just means "register number plus one", which you can write as just "%0+1" with many assemblers (but not with all). arm and aarch64 %H are very similar. > (I can't find them documented anywhere atm) Yeah, working on it.

You can have TImode variables in 64-bit mode, using __int128 or similar. Anyway... You hardly ever should have issues with this in actual inline asm. You should avoid these problems, avoid these constructs completely, there usually are better ways to do these things (using pure C, or maybe using some compiler intrinsics / builtin functions, for example).
