[avr-gcc-list] error in inline assembler docu found at: http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/inline_asm.html

[Johannes Krude]

hi,
as the author of http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/inline_asm.html 
stated:" a wrong documentation sometimes might be worse than none", this is 
definitly true for this documentation. I have spend a lot of time figuring 
out what I did wrong in my program until i finaly found out the error was in 
the documentation. Unfortunately all docus for avr-gcc inline assembler found 
first on google do it wrong.

The documentation stats: "The linefeed and tab characters will make the 
assembler listing generated by the compiler more readable", this is far from 
the truth, instead the compiler relies on the linefeed and tabs. If you omit 
the linefeeds and tabs the compiler complains about: "garbage at end of line"

There is an important point missing about the input and output operands. IO 
registers always have to be input operands, even if you only use them as 
output. Otherwise the compiler wails about: "invalid lvalue in asm statement"

I don't read tihs list so don't expect me to answer if you don't write to me 
personaly.

In hope of making the world a little better, johannes
