Please explain; why is this?

How does:

#define __annotate_unreachable(c) ({					\
	   asm volatile(__stringify_label(c) ":\n\t"                       \
			".pushsection .discard.unreachable\n\t"            \
			".long " __stringify_label(c) "b - .\n\t"          \
			".popsection\n\t" : : "i" (c));                    \
})
#define annotate_unreachable() __annotate_unreachable(__COUNTER__)

Manage to generate this..
