Re: Division by zero

Yeah, an asm volatile ("" : : "r" (x) : ) should please GCC and still be
portable to different platforms.

I thought using an asm () for each port to cause an exception specific
for that port. Such that divide-by-zero exception can be distinguished
from termination exception. However, asm volatile ("" : : "r" (x)) is
good for ports that not providing their specific asms. I'll mention it
in the email to newlib mailing list.
