Apparently so as illustrated by:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-10/msg00488.html
It seems that I have broken backward compatibility. If the user uses '{'
and '}' in bitfield instructions, then his/her code won't assemble.
gcc's asm statements require the user to be familiar with gcc's internal to
some extent, but I am not sure if we want to expose directives for assembly
diarect.
Thoughts?
