[llvm-dev] clang/llvm support for %= in inline assembly

[Sean Silva via llvm-dev]

I think we may already support it. At least that's the implication from the
post-commit thread of r288093, in particular this reply from Reid
https://www.mail-archive.com/cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org/msg43592.html

Do you have a test case?
