Note that basic asm is part of the standard C++ syntax. "An asm declaration has the form asm-definition: asm ( string-literal ) ; The asm declaration is conditionally-supported; its meaning is implementation-defined. [ Note: Typically it is used to pass information through the implementation to an assembler. — end note ]" (7.4 [dcl.asm]).
