Inline ASM and stack/base pointer

[Daniel Mierswa]

Hi list,

I was wondering how to overcome the issue that evolves when parameters
(inputs) to the inline assembly are passed relative to ebp/esp and
modifying those pointers in the inline assembly. Basically
__asm__("push %ecx\nmov %0, %edx\n"::"m"(variable)); could set '%0' to
4(%esp) or similar which would no longer represent the same location
once I use push/pop in my asm. Is it possible to explicitly state that
GCC passes those relative to esp _or_ ebp so I can safely modify at
least one pointer (i.e. reserve stack space)? Or are there any other
ways to overcome this issue? Thanks in advance.

If you still don't like it, that's ok: that's why I'm boss. I simply
know better than you do.
