Hello:

I've been working with a third party supplied assembler function that seems to 
have issues when being called from optimized gcc code. I get spurious values in 
calling function. It appears that the assembler function is using registers that 
the gcc code is expecting to not change. Is there a way, in gcc, to protect 
against the assembler function from doing immoral acts.... The system is an 
x86_64 based Linux system. I don't know the assembler language for this system 
very well.

Thanks in advance....
