Hi,

Long time ago (older gcc) this code snippet used to compile. Now it doesn't.
Do you asm gurus have any idea what is wrong?

void p_memset_dword( void *d, int b, int l )
{
__asm__ ("rep\n\t"
"stosl\n\t"
:
: "D" (d), "a" (b), "c" (l)
: "memory","edi", "eax", "ecx"
);
}

The compiler says:
a.c: In function `p_memset_dword':
a.c:9: Invalid `asm' statement:
a.c:9: fixed or forbidden register 0 (ax) was spilled for class AREG.

Thanks,
Pista
