z constraint in powerpc inline assembly ?

[Christophe Leroy]

Hi Segher,

I'm trying to see if we could enhance TCP checksum calculations by 
splitting inline assembly blocks to give GCC the opportunity to mix it 
with other stuff, but I'm getting difficulties with the carry.

As far as I can read in the documentation, the z constraint represents 
'‘XER[CA]’ carry bit (part of the XER register)'

I've tried the following, but I get errors. Can you help ?

unsigned long cksum(unsigned long a, unsigned long b, unsigned long c)
{
	unsigned long sum;
	unsigned long carry;

	asm("addc %0, %2, %3" : "=r"(sum), "=z"(carry) : "r"(a), "r"(b));
	asm("adde %0, %0, %2" : "+r"(sum), "+z"(carry) : "r"(c));
	asm("addze %0, %0" : "+r"(sum) : "z"(carry));

	return sum;
}



csum.c: In function 'cksum':
csum.c:6:2: error: inconsistent operand constraints in an 'asm'
   asm("addc %0, %2, %3" : "=r"(sum), "=z"(carry) : "r"(a), "r"(b));
   ^
csum.c:7:2: error: inconsistent operand constraints in an 'asm'
   asm("adde %0, %0, %2" : "+r"(sum), "+z"(carry) : "r"(c));
   ^
csum.c:8:2: error: inconsistent operand constraints in an 'asm'
   asm("addze %0, %0" : "+r"(sum) : "z"(carry));
   ^

Thanks
