Inline assembly clobbered registers

[Christian Hildner]

Hi there,

I need a temporary general register inside the inline assembly code. The 
definition for a particular register is possible by for example "eax". 
But how to define a general register that the compiler is allowed to 
choose as it is possible with input/output registers who are referenced 
by %0, %1, ... ? So simply to allow "r" in the clobbered list and 
reference it by %x in the assembly code. That would be great for the 
optimizer because defining a specific register as clobbered is always 
the second best solution.

Might this be an idea for the next gcc release?

Comments?
