#### 6.42.4 Constraints for Particular Machines

Whenever possible, you should use the general-purpose constraint letters in `asm` arguments, since they will convey meaning more readily to people reading your code. Failing that, use the constraint letters that usually have very similar meanings across architectures. The most commonly used constraints are ‘`m`’ and ‘`r`’ (for memory and general-purpose registers respectively; see Simple Constraints), and ‘`I`’, usually the letter indicating the most common immediate-constant format.

Each architecture defines additional constraints. These constraints are used by the compiler itself for instruction generation, as well as for `asm` statements; therefore, some of the constraints are not particularly useful for `asm`. Here is a summary of some of the machine-dependent constraints available on some particular machines; it includes both constraints that are useful for `asm` and constraints that aren't. The compiler source file mentioned in the table heading for each architecture is the definitive reference for the meanings of that architecture's constraints.

  `m`
    Memory operand. Normally, `m` does not allow addresses that update the base register. If ‘`<`’ or ‘`>`’ constraint is also used, they are allowed and therefore on PowerPC targets in that case it is only safe to use ‘`m<>`’ in an `asm` statement if that `asm` statement accesses the operand exactly once. The `asm` statement must also use ‘`%U<opno>`’ as a placeholder for the “update” flag in the corresponding load or store instruction. For example:

                       asm ("st%U0 %1,%0" : "=m<>" (mem) : "r" (val));

    is correct but:

                       asm ("st %1,%0" : "=m<>" (mem) : "r" (val));

    is not.

  `es`
    A “stable” memory operand; that is, one which does not include any automodification of the base register. This used to be useful when ‘`m`’ allowed automodification of the base register, but as those are now only allowed when ‘`<`’ or ‘`>`’ is used, ‘`es`’ is basically the same as ‘`m`’ without ‘`<`’ and ‘`>`’.
  `Q`
    Memory operand that is an offset from a register (it is usually better to use ‘`m`’ or ‘`es`’ in `asm` statements)
  `Z`
    Memory operand that is an indexed or indirect from a register (it is usually better to use ‘`m`’ or ‘`es`’ in `asm` statements)
  `R`
    AIX TOC entry
  `a`
    Address operand that is an indexed or indirect from a register (‘`p`’ is preferable for `asm` statements)
  `S`
    Constant suitable as a 64-bit mask operand
  `T`
    Constant suitable as a 32-bit mask operand
  `U`
    System V Release 4 small data area reference
  `t`
    AND masks that can be performed by two rldic{l, r} instructions
  `W`
    Vector constant that does not require memory
  `j`
    Vector constant that is all zeros.
Intel 386—`config/i386/constraints.md`
  `R`
    Legacy register—the eight integer registers available on all i386 processors (`a`, `b`, `c`, `d`, `si`, `di`, `bp`, `sp`).
  `q`
    Any register accessible as r `l`. In 32-bit mode, `a`, `b`, `c`, and `d`; in 64-bit mode, any integer register.
  `Q`
    Any register accessible as r `h`: `a`, `b`, `c`, and `d`.
  `a`
    The `a` register.
  `b`
    The `b` register.
  `c`
    The `c` register.
  `d`
    The `d` register.
  `S`
    The `si` register.
  `D`
    The `di` register.
  `A`
    The `a` and `d` registers. This class is used for instructions that return double word results in the `ax:dx` register pair. Single word values will be allocated either in `ax` or `dx`. For example on i386 the following implements `rdtsc`:

                       unsigned long long rdtsc (void)
                       {
                         unsigned long long tick;
                         __asm__ __volatile__("rdtsc":"=A"(tick));
                         return tick;
                       }

    This is not correct on x86_64 as it would allocate tick in either `ax` or `dx`. You have to use the following variant instead:

                       unsigned long long rdtsc (void)
                       {
                         unsigned int tickl, tickh;
                         __asm__ __volatile__("rdtsc":"=a"(tickl),"=d"(tickh));
                         return ((unsigned long long)tickh << 32)|tickl;
