Ignoring any bugs in Druntime and DMD regarding PIC code generation; GDC puts all used registers in any given asm statement in the clobbered list. Without this, GCC will not know of their usage, and so assumes the register(s) are free, therefore it may decide to use them for storing other data. Regards
