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.
