GCC 4.9 seems to have a problem with the "S" asm constraint
when the symbol lives in the same compilation unit, and pretends
the constraint is impossible:
$ cat x.c
void *foo(void)
{
static int x;
int *addr;
asm("adrp %0, %1" : "=r" (addr) : "S" (&x));
return addr;
}
$ ~/Work/gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.9-2014.09_linux/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -S -x c -O2 x.c
x.c: In function ‘foo’:
x.c:5:2: error: impossible constraint in ‘asm’
asm("adrp %0, %1" : "=r" (addr) : "S" (&x));
^
Boo. Following revisions of the compiler work just fine, though.
We can fallback to the "i" constraint for GCC version prior to 5.0,
which *seems* to do the right thing. Hopefully we will be able to
remove this at some point, but in the meantime this gets us going.
