Bug ID: 96365 Summary: GCC report impossible constraint on possible inline assembly output constraints Product: gcc Version: 9.3.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: 141242068 at smail dot nju.edu.cn Target Milestone: --- $ cat a.c int main() { int x = 0, y = 0, z = 0; asm("" : "=ab"(x), "=bc"(y), "=c"(z)); return 0; } Inline assembly at line 3 is a possible constraint, compiler can allocate eax for x, ebx for y, ecx for z, but GCC report that this asm has impossible constraint as below: -> tmp $ gcc a.c asm.c: In function ‘main’: asm.c:3:3: error: ‘asm’ operand has impossible constraints 3 | asm("" : "=ab"(x), "=bc"(y), "=c"(z)); | ^~~ My gcc version: -> tmp $ gcc -v Using built-in specs.
