Yes, unfortunately GCC 3.0 deprecated multiline string literals -- I saw someone arguing on the GCC mailing lists that writing large chunks of inline asm shouldn't be "easy", as it interferes with the compiler's optimization passes. There were other such braindead arguments supporting the deprecation. The thread should be pretty easy to find in the archives. Don't know if the deprecation will be removed in future versions. -- Gareth
