Inline assembly and local variable storage

[Subu Krishnamoorthy <subu at modviz dot com>]

Hello folks,

I'm trying to write an inline assembly block embedded in C++ code and want to 
simulate a sibling / tail call inside the assembly block (use the 'jmp' 
instruction as opposed to 'call'). I know that I must adjust the stack 
pointer before doing this since the function containing this assembly block 
contains local variables. Does gcc provide a mechanism to determine how much 
space was reserved for local variables (similar to '_vars_' in High Level 
Assembly (HLA))?

Cheers.
