The 'c' output modifier is overloaded. If its operand is a valid
constant address, it is printed without punctuation; if not, the target
code gets to do with it what it wants (which is where that "condition
code" comes from).
The documentation is misleading, it says
'c' Require a constant operand and print the constant expression with
no punctuation.
but it does not mention that requires a constant *address* (nor what it
does when it is not; it doesn't actually *require* it).
Constant addresses that are just an integer have to fit in a (signed)
32-bit integer, on x86 (just like all other constant integers that
are the operand of a machine instruction).
> Any tips on getting this to work right on x86-64? It is not liking the combination of the %c0 input operand modifier 'c' and the 'n' constraint if the provided constant exceeds a signed integer. I imagine some other incantation would work but I'm not sure what.
You can just paste it into the string here, like you have #name already?
