c - Inline asm with sideeffects -


i want use inline asm armv7 clang 3.4, in order write low level code accesses cpus control registers. test, wrote program reads register, conditionally fiddles bits, , writes new value.

however, when @ produced machine code entire bit-fiddling has been optimized away. apparently have not used right asm constraints tell clang result of writing register depends on being written. (i used simple "volatile" modifier).

how should write inline asm code clang generates correct asm? here code test.c

typedef unsigned int uint32_t;  // code reads , writes id_pfr1 register  uint32_t read_id_pfr1() {   uint32_t a;   asm volatile ("mrc     p15, 0, %0, c0, c1, 1" : : "r"(a) : );   return a; }  void write_id_pfr1(uint32_t a) {   asm volatile ("mcr     p15, 0, %0, c0, c1, 1" :"=r"(a) :  :  ); }  // regular c code modifies register  uint32_t foo(uint32_t b) {   uint32_t a;   = read_id_pfr1();   write_id_pfr1(b);   return a+b; }  void bit_fiddle() {   uint32_t a;   = read_id_pfr1();   if ((a & 0x3) == 1) {     |= 1<<2;   }   |= 1<<3;   write_id_pfr1(a); }

i compiled 

clang-3.4 -target armv7a-none-eabi test.c -o test -o3

this resulting machine code

$ arm-linux-gnueabi-objdump -s test  test:     file format elf32-littlearm   disassembly of section .text:  00000000 <read_id_pfr1>:    0:   ee100f31    mrc 15, 0, r0, cr0, cr1, {1}    4:   e12fff1e    bx  lr  00000008 <write_id_pfr1>:    8:   ee000f31    mcr 15, 0, r0, cr0, cr1, {1}    c:   e12fff1e    bx  lr  00000010 <foo>:   10:   ee100f31    mrc 15, 0, r0, cr0, cr1, {1}   14:   ee000f31    mcr 15, 0, r0, cr0, cr1, {1}   18:   e12fff1e    bx  lr  0000001c <bit_fiddle>:   1c:   ee100f31    mrc 15, 0, r0, cr0, cr1, {1}   20:   ee000f31    mcr 15, 0, r0, cr0, cr1, {1}   24:   e12fff1e    bx  lr

as can see in <bit_fiddle>, nothing left between mrc , mcr instructions. , see how foo fails add a+b in produced machine code.

you close "=" : means operand write-only:

while using constraints, more precise control on effects of constraints, gcc provides constraint modifiers. used constraint modifiers are

"=" : means operand write-only instruction; previous value discarded , replaced output data. "&" : means operand earlyclobber operand, modified before instruction finished using input operands. therefore, operand may not lie in register used input operand or part of memory address. input operand can tied earlyclobber operand if use input occurs before result written.

the input , output determined order in list separated :

  asm ( assembler template         : output operands                  /* optional */        : input operands                   /* optional */        : list of clobbered registers      /* optional */        );
  1. read gcc inline assembly howto.
  2. copy content of c variable register (gcc)

html - Sizing a high-res image (~8MB) to display entirely in a small div (circular, diameter 100px) -

first of all, thank being patient know simple question more couple of weeks' experience figure out. i've seen folks persevere , helpful on here , hope you're willing me. here fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/65uzf/ here 1 of places searched answers on here: ( vertically center image thumbnails fix-sized div ) tried solutions on there , didn't work out me. i've searched ~4 or 5 others, , been unsuccessful those, too. what want take large image (what linked background-image #ysypic , #tabpic divs) , display thumbnail version of image in confines of divs have set it. is, using background properties have laid out in css, portion of image displays inside of circular divs. without these properties, display defaults smaller section of image [presumably pi*(50^2) area in top left] terrible resolution. i not care if entire image doesn't display inside of circles (it won't, given difference in shape), , overflow not being displayed fine. want able see figu

java - IntelliJ - No such instance method -

using intellij's 12 ultimate, i'm running following code in debugger: java import play.api.libs.json.jsvalue; public class foo { ... public jsvalue tojson() { ... } public class fooexample { ... foo foo = new foo(); system.out.println("...); //<-- breakpoint at breakpoint, right-clicked source code , picked "evaluate expression," typing in: foo.tojson() . but following error showed up: no such instance method: play.api.libs.json.jsvalue$class.com.foo.foo.tojson () am doing wrong? foo#tojson calls scala code, if matters. edit had breakpoint after instantiation of foo. downvoted it, deserved it. edit my answer no longer valid after op modified question (i.e. moved breakpoint actual is).. a breakpoint hit before line executed. in case foo has not yet been declared or instantiated (i.e. foo constructor has not yet been called). you'll need put breakpoint @ next line (or step on current line) if want evaluate foo .

identifier - Is it possible for an html5 document to have two ids? -

i wondering if html5 element can have 2 ids, this: <button id="thing1" id="thing2" name="button1" onclick="change()">click here</button> or this: <button id="thing1, thing2" name="button1" onclick="change()">click here</button> also, if 1 of ids said 1 thing, , other id said thing, 1 used? tl;dr : no. in versions of html, each element can have 1 id. see the spec : the id attribute specifies element's unique identifier (id). [dom] the value must unique amongst ids in element's home subtree , must contain @ least 1 character. the value must not contain space characters. note: there no other restrictions on form id can take; in particular, ids can consist of digits, start digit, start underscore, consist of punctuation , etc. note: element's unique identifier can used variety of purposes, notably way link specific parts of document usin
