I noticed that the following case would compile in Clang but not GCC:
void *x(void) { void *p = &&foo; asm goto ("# %0\n\t# %l1":"+r"(p):::foo); foo:; return p; }
Changing the output template above from %l2 would compile in GCC but not
Clang.
This demonstrates that when using tied outputs (say via the "+r" output
constraint), the hidden inputs occur or are numbered BEFORE the labels,
at least with GCC.
In fact, GCC does denote this in its documentation:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-11.2.0/gcc/Extended-Asm.html#Goto-Labels
Output operand with constraint modifier ‘+’ is counted as two operands
because it is considered as one output and one input operand.
For the sake of compatibility, I think it's worthwhile to just make this
change.
It's better to use symbolic names for compatibility (especially now
between released version of Clang that support asm goto with outputs).
ie. %l1 from the above would be %l[foo]. The GCC docs also make this
recommendation.
Also, I cleaned up some cruft in GCCAsmStmt::getNamedOperand. AFAICT,
NumPlusOperands was no longer used, though I couldn't find which commit
didn't clean that up correctly.

there is no general documentation? this is kinda bad to have it only in release notes.
