RE: PROBLEM: compilation issue, inline assemblyarch/x86/kvm/emulate.c fails at -O0

[Blower, Melanie]

Thanks for your reply. As you agree there is an actual bug in this code, would you kindly be able to tell me when a fix would be available in the Linux trunk?
Thanks and best regards, Melanie Blower

Compiling with -O0 is not really expected to work (although -O1 *is*), although what you are reporting is an actual bug ("+a" : "a" should either be "+a" or "=a" : "a").
