I put here a simple example to illustrate what looks like a bug to me
#include<iostream>
inline unsigned next_exp2(unsigned x)
{
unsigned n;
asm volatile("bsr %0, %1" : "=r" (n) : "r" (x)); // most significant
bit
return((x == (1u << n)) ? n : n);
};
inline unsigned next_exp2_(unsigned x)
{
unsigned n;
asm volatile("bsr %0, %1" : "=r" (n) : "r" (x)); // most significant
bit
return((x == (1u << n)) ? n : n+1);
};
int main()
{
unsigned x = 1025;
std::cout << "n1 = " << next_exp2(x) << std::endl;
std::cout << "n2 = " << next_exp2_(x) << std::endl;
return(0);
}
The difference between two function is n+1 returned from the underscored
version. Compiled with g++ -O2 ./foo.cpp, my output is:
n1 = 10
n2 = 3078596801
while I would expect n2 = 11.
If I compile it with g++ -g foo.cpp, everything works as expected.

Summary: inline asm with -O2 breaks logic if comarisons are
involved
