Hi,
I've inherited a chunk of code and am trying to get it to compile on
Leopard but am running into a problem and I'm hoping somebody on this
list has seen it before.
typedef uint32_t lockStructure;
static inline int __compareAndSwap(lockStructure *ptr, lockStructure
old, lockStructure new) {
lockStructure prev = old;
asm volatile("lock cmpxchgl %1,%2" : "=a" (old) : "q" (new), "m"
(*ptr),"0" (old) : "memory");
return old != prev;
}
When I try to compile this, I get the following error for the line
starting with asm:
error: impossible constraint in 'asm'
This isn't with Xcode but instead with a standard Makefile. I'm using
the stock gcc 4.0.1 that comes with the latest Xcode.
Thanks,
Steve
