[net.lang.c] asm statement

wapd (11/04/82)

	Just a note regarding the "asm" statement :  someone recently
discovered that CC on BTL Unix 4.0 has a bug apparently involving
asm statements.  One case exhibiting this is :

main()
{
int i ;
if (f())
	i++ ;
asm("xxx") ;
asm("yyy") ;
}

f()
{
}

	When this is the subject of a "cc -S", the resulting assembly
language file shows that (I believe) the "xxx" is not executed if the
condition in the "if" is false.  A label seems to be misplaced in the
assembly language file.  I have put in an MR on it.

re: asm statements:
this bug is probably in all versions based on the portable c-compiler.
