Hi Segher,
I'd like to use cr instead of gpr to return error condition from
__get_user().
I saw in GCC doc
(https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Machine-Constraints.html) that it is
possible to use "y" as constraint to refer to "Any condition register
field, cr0…cr7".
I tried the test below, but it fails with "error: impossible register
constraint in 'asm'"
How does "y" has to be used ?
int test(char *p)
{
struct {
int r:1;
} res = {0};
asm("crnot %0 * 4 + eq, %0 * 4 + eq": "=&y"(res.r));
if (res.r)
return -14;
return 0;
}
Christophe

The same as "x". You cannot really use these constraints in asm, it's
internal only. I'll remove it from the inline asm documentation. Thanks!
(You should put the cr fields you use in an inline asm in its clobber
list, i.e. "cr0" or "cr7").
