It seems GCC picks wrong registers
when inline assembly is used at inline function.
Below clip_int32 function is in-lined at main function by -O3 option,
and GCC picked same register 'movlt ip, ip'
(it should have picked different register as instructed 'movlt %0, %2 ')
*code
int clip_int32(int a, int amin, int amax)
{
#if 1
asm volatile (
"mov %0, %1 \n\t"
"cmp %1, %2 \n\t"
"movlt %0, %2 \n\t"
"cmp %1, %3 \n\t"
"movgt %0, %3 \n\t"
: "=r"(a)
: "r"(a), "r"(amin), "r"(amax)
//: "r0", "r1", "r2"
);
return a;
#endif
#else
if (a < amin) return amin;
else if (a > amax) return amax;
else return a;
#endif
}
int main()
{
int ret[4];
ret[0] = clip_int32( -5, -1, 1 );
ret[1] = clip_int32( -5, -1, 1 );
ret[2] = clip_int32( -5, -1, 1 );
ret[3] = clip_int32( -5, -1, 1 );
printf("%d %d %d %d\n", ret[0], ret[1], ret[2], ret[3]);
return 0;
}

8340: e28dd00c add sp, sp, #12
8344: e8bd8000 pop {pc}
the result was
-1, -1, -1, -1(wrong) for -O3 option, and
-1, -1, -1, -5(correct) for -O1 option.
