What about this: --cut here-- /* { dg-do compile { target i?86-*-* x86_64-*-* } } */ /* { dg-options "-Wall" } */ register int * volatile x asm ("ebx"); /* { dg-warning "optimization may eliminate reads and/or writes to register variables" } */ --cut here-- This will work for all x86 targets. We already have a couple of generic tests that are tested on x86 only (gcc.dg/register-var-1.c for example), so one more won't hurt. And it will surely get enough coverage. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35382
