The GCC manual says: If your assembler instructions access memory in an unpredictable fashion, add `memory' to the list of clobbered registers. This will cause GCC to not keep memory values cached in registers across the assembler instruction and not optimize stores or loads to that memory. The bug hasn't been noticed in FRV, but it has been seen in PA-RISC.
