APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using optimization with inlining, an inline ASM statement
  is not being inserted into the generated code.  The cause seems
  related to code function inlining efforts and optimization by
  the compiler.
  
  
     === EXAMPLE ===
  
  (Note:  example is not compilable)
  
  ----------------------------
  
  __asm__ ("sld %0,%1,%2" : "=r"(a) : "r"(a), "r"(z) : );
  
  Uint64 c, d;
  
  __asm__("srd %0,%1,%2" : "=r"(c) : "r"(b),"r"(z) : );
  __asm__("sld %0,%1,%2" : "=r"(d) : "r"(b),"r"(z) : );
  
  a |= (c | d);
  
  __asm__("sld %0,%1,%2" : "=r"(b) : "r"(b), "r"(z) : );
  
  ----------------------------
  
  In this case, the last inline ASM statement is not being
  generated in the compiled code:
  
  ----------------------------

  ----------------------------
  

Local fix

• Do not use optimization.
  

Problem summary

• PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  A incorrect code interpretation results in an incorrect internal
  code representation for the function with the inline ASM
  statement.  Subsequent code optimizations may optimize away the
  inline ASM statement.
  
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users with inline ASM statements with code inlining enabled.
  

Problem conclusion

• The issue was fixed and the inline ASM is now generated
  correctly.
  

Temporary fix
