           Summary: [inline asm] early clobber + forced register + -O0 ==
                    wrong register allocation
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: -New Bugs
        AssignedTo: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org

I build myself a fresh clang today at trunk r97864.
I was trying to hunt down another bug, but was first stopped by this one:

char *func(void)
{
    char *ret, *p;
    unsigned long t;
    asm (
        "mov    $0xdeafbeef, %1\n\t"
        "mov    $0xcafebabe, %0\n\t"
        "mov    %0, %2\n\t"
        : /* %0 */ "=&r" (ret),
          /* %1 */ "=&r" (p),
          /* %2 */ "=&c" (t)
    );
    return ret;
}

compiled with:
clang -c test.c

results in, stripping the prologue/epilogue:
   9:   b9 ef be af de          mov    $0xdeafbeef,%ecx
   e:   b8 be ba fe ca          mov    $0xcafebabe,%eax
  13:   89 c1                   mov    %eax,%ecx

as you can see, %2 and %1 get the same register. This only happens when:
 - there are early clobbers
 - one variable is forced into a specific register with a constrain
 - no optimization is used

The problem is mainly i need -O0 ATM, because i need working debug info (which
is also broken ATM), so i can hunt down another bug (compiled by clang my
programm crashes).

Greetings
