You're acting like a spoilt child.

Something concrete:

void do_something_nasty(void)
{
  // I need to do something fast without a call, I need a register,
  // so I'll pick r5 as the/ code generator seems it's not using that
  // one when I run it under the debugger.
  asm("ldr r5, =0x12345678");

  // Now do soemthing with r5 because I did something above.
}

There is just so much wrong with the above it's untrue.  I'm happy to
say I've never used inline assemler.  If you need that crap, it's
because you have a toolset that doesn't have intrinsics for what you
want to do.
