I think you will need to do (2). The source-to-source approach probably
isn't robust enough for what you need to do. You *might* be able to do
it if you pull all calls out of the arguments, but then you have to do
things like:
f(g()) -> temp = g(), f(temp)
before you put in your asm, and if you're in C++ land, you're now
doomed, since creating named temporaries can change the semantics of
programs.
