            Bug ID: 47530
           Summary: clang asm chooses poorly for "=rm"
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: LLVM Codegen
          Assignee: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org
          Reporter: luto at mit.edu
                CC: llvm-bugs at lists.llvm.org, neeilans at live.com,

With this trivial input:

unsigned long mov_zero(void)
{
        unsigned long ret;
        asm ("movq $0, %0" : "=rm" (ret));
        return ret;
}

clang -O2 generates this very suboptimal output:

mov_zero:
 movq $0x0,-0x8(%rsp)
 mov -0x8(%rsp),%rax
 ret

gcc does much better:

mov_zero:
 mov $0x0,%rax
 retq
