[PATCH] parisc: fix out-of-register compiler error in ldcw inline assembler function

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Sometimes we face this compiler error:

arch/parisc/include/asm/ldcw.h:39:2: error: can't find a register in class 'R1_REGS' while reloading 'asm'
	__asm__ __volatile__(__LDCW " 0(%2),%0"...
	note: in expansion of macro '__ldcw'
	error: 'asm' operand has impossible constraints

Dave suggested:
Likely the problem can be fixed by making __ldcw a static inline function and
forcing the argument 'a' to a specific register before using in ldcw.

Since it's not easy to reproduce this bug, this patch now tries to still let
the compiler decide on which register should be used. If it doesn't work, we'll
have to assign a specific register as suggested by Dave.
