--- Comment #5 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-02-04 00:06:36 UTC --- What happens on targets like PPC where r2 (the PIC register) is a fixed register should we save and restore it or error out. I say we should error out. Really I think it is a good thing to error out and force people to write their PIC vs no PIC inline-asm differently. As it forces people to think about register pressure and such.
