Inline Assembly coding

    Hi,

    I'm trying to store the value of integer b into the address pointed to by c.
    Could you please check the Macro definition of STORE_REG and tell me if its correct?

    Thanks a lot...

    Hi

    The general format for ARM inline assembly is,
    asm(code : output operand list : input operand list : clobber list);

    In the example given by you, output operand list and clobber list are present. "cc" in the clobber list mentions that the instruction will modify condition code flags.

    You may go through the below link for more info,

    Hi,
    I am also a newbie of asm. Can any one help to explain below GCC function codes, what are the meaning of the :"cc"?
    Thanks in advance!
    -----------------------------------

    static inline unsigned int read_cpuid(void)
    {
    unsigned int val;

    /* Main ID register (MIDR) */
    asm("mrc        p15, 0, %0, c0, c0, 0"
           : "=r" (val)
           :
       : "cc"); //What's this means?

    return val;
    }
    --------------------------------

    I don't know anything at inline assembly but


    are you sure you need the & into your macro ?
    and I think the both value must be specified as source.

    try

    #define STORE_REG(src, dest) asm("str %[source], [%[result]]" : : [result] "r"(dest), [source] "r"(src))


    while c is a pointeur you need to use it's value and not it's address.
    that's without any warranty !!

    Try STORE_REG( c, b );

    Currently it looks like you are trying to write the pointer into the address held in the integer, which I'm pretty sure you are not wanting to do.
