Those are different things.
The multiline string literal deprecation comes from people who
define what the new ANSI-C (C9X, or whatever) is, and inline asm
just uses literal strings as its input data.
The inline asm() does essentially want to look like a function call
with lots of strings as parameters. It has special __builtin_ meaning,
of course, but that is way after the lexical input scanner has done
its work.
