16.8.5 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

R
Legacy register—the eight integer registers available on all i386 processors (a, b, c, d, si, di, bp, sp).

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));
