Re: [lpc2000] GNU inline assembler return value

2005-07-11 by Richard Duits

Copying one register to another is done with the "mov" instruction:

unsigned long retval;
asm volatile ("mov sp, %0" : "=r" (retval) : /* no inputs */ );
return retval;

An alternative in this case would be:

unsigned long stackptr __asm("sp");
return stackptr;

Regards,
Richard Duits
