Subject: [PATCH] Fix Immediate Values x86_64 support old gcc
Date: Wed, 21 May 2008 13:01:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080521170150.GA29428@Krystal> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080521160217.GA26974@Krystal>

Does this fix make more sense ?

GCC < 4, on x86_64, does not accept symbol+offset operands for "i" constraints
asm statements. Fallback on generic immediate values if this compiler is
detected.
