>Description:
this version of gcc rejects legal extended asm seemingly when an output/input (+ constraint) operand is negative and could be a register (r, g, etc constraint).
>How-To-Repeat:
try to compile the file - it fails. try commenting out the last 3 printf statements and it works.
>Fix:
do not inline or with the following diff:
        __asm__ (
        "subl   %1, %0\n\t"
-       : "+r"(a)
-       : "r"(b)
+       : "=r"(a)
+       : "r"(b), "0"(a)
        );

        return a;
