Ugh bugger.
I bet its that: &((char *)key)[branch] business, an earlier variant
thereof tripped up more recent GCCs too.
So its an __always_inline function, and both argument are always compile
time constants, @key is the address of an object in static storage (a
global) and @branch is a simple 0/1 at the call site.
Now we wish to compute (unsigned long)key + branch at compile/link time
to feed to the assembler as an immediate, which should be possible,
given its all 'constants'.
It just appears GCC is having a hard time with this.
Let me see if I have a sufficiently old GCC around to play with.
Could you feed the below to your compiler? Its a bit cumbersome, but
its the next best I could come up with...
No, it produces the same error. This is Fedora 13, btw, uses gcc 4.4.4.
