I'd like to use intel syntax gcc inline assembly, leaving gcc's default -masm=att dialect untouched.
The following code works fine:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int a = 123;
int b = 0;
printf("before: a = %d\n", a);
printf("before: b = %d\n", b);
__asm__ __volatile__ (
".intel_syntax noprefix\n\t"
"mov eax, %[a]\n\t"
"mov %[b], eax\n\t"
".att_syntax prefix\n\t"
: [b]"+r"(b)
: [a]"r"(a)
: "eax"
);
printf("after: a = %d\n", a);
printf("after: b = %d\n", b);
return 0;
}
// before: a = 123
// before: b = 0
// after: a = 123
// after: b = 123
But if i change Output Operands Constraint from register('r') to memory('m'), error occurs:
Error: junk `(%rbp)' after expression
In the generated assembly file, I find this:
#APP
.intel_syntax noprefix
mov eax, -16(%rbp)
mov -12(%rbp), eax
.att_syntax prefix
#NO_APP
It looks like gcc renders Assembler Template using AT&T Effective-Address dialect.
I searched the web, Extended Asm shows something like "Multiple assembler dialects in asm templates" and "x86 Operand Modifiers", but I still didn't solve the problem.
Is there a way to tell gcc, (maybe some instructions around __asm__, telling gcc to do operand-substitution with Intel-syntax addressing modes temporarily, like -masm=intel do in the whole file), render the Assembler Template using Intel Effective-Address dialect temporarily in __asm__ () block, not the whole file, like this:
#APP
.intel_syntax noprefix
mov eax, [%rbp - 16]
mov [%rbp - 12], eax
.att_syntax prefix
#NO_APP
