<div class="im">Thanks, Eli.<br> <br>Then do I have permission to check in the front end changes, leaving the back end as-is for now, treating any further work there as a separate issue to be discussed first on llvmdev?<br>
<br>Basically, without these front-end changes, there will be an assert in the front end code gen (-emit-llvm) if multi-alt constraints are seen, because the extra commas are not expected.<br> <br>-John<br><br></div>

<div>> So, then this is a problem with the back-end, right? Do you agree that the<br>> back end is a better place to try to choose constraints, given that it knows<br>> better which things are already in registers and so forth?<br>
<br></div>Yes, it would fit more naturally there... but I'm not sure a proposal<br>to make inline asm in the backend more complicated will be greeted<br>with much enthusiasm. If you're really interested in pursuing that<br>
path, though, ask on llvmdev first.<br><font color="#888888"><br>-Eli<br></font></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br></div></div>
