Use "m" (*(const void *)pStr) and ignore the warning, or use
"m" (*(const struct {char a; char x[];} *) pStr).
The issue is one of letting gcc know what memory is accessed by the
asm, if you don't want to use a "memory" clobber. And there are very
good reasons to avoid clobbering all memory.
"m"(*pStr) ought to work IMO, but apparently just tells gcc you are
only interested in the first character. Of course that is exactly
what *pStr is, but in this context it would be nicer if it meant the
entire array.
