Dear Albert ARIBAUD,
In message 4CDFA8E9.3050803@free.fr you wrote:
Is there any reason the other arches could not implement an inline function as well? ARM for example:
-#define DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR register volatile gd_t *gd asm ("r8")
There is no way to set aside a register in ARM code for applicative purposes.
What exactly do you mean by that?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
