J.5.10 _The_asm_keyword_
The 'asm' keyword may be used to insert assembly language directly
into the translator output (6.8). The most common implementation is
via a statement of the form:
asm ( 'character-string-literal' ) ;
my read is that the compiler *may* implement it as above, or it may use
something different. Since GCC uses
<asm keyword> ("character-string-literal" : <constraint> : <constraint> );
I guess they decided GCC isn't compatable with J.5.10.
