Hi, The kernel version is 2.6.20.7. In include/asm-i386/string.h, line 169~185: static inline char * strrchr(const char * s, int c) { int d0, d1; register char * __res; __asm__ __volatile__( "movb %%al,%%ah\n" "1:\tlodsb\n\t" "cmpb %%ah,%%al\n\t" "jne 2f\n\t" "leal -1(%%esi),%0\n" (*) "2:\ttestb %%al,%%al\n\t" "jne 1b" :"=g" (__res), "=&S" (d0), "=&a" (d1) (**) :"0" (0),"1" (s),"2" (c) :"memory"); return __res; }
The 'lea' instruction needs a register here (*), but "g" (**) means any registers, memory or immediate integer. Is it correct? If the compiler do not place the __res into a register, the compilation will fail. Should it be "r"? Thank you very much. -- Regards, Lai Jian-Xin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
