I do not have GCC 13/14 installed, but godbolt.org's copy of GCC 13 and
trunk will not compile the following complete example
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
register long reg_1 asm("r12");
register long reg_2 asm("r13");
asm volatile ("mov %0, %%r11" : "+r"((argc) ? reg_2 : reg_1));
}
I note that in C mode (gcc minbug.c) a different error is produced (error:
lvalue required in ‘asm’ statement), but in C++ mode (g++ minbug.c) we get
the internal compiler error, and that selecting an input parameter the same
way (rather than an output parameter) seems to work correctly.
