Hmm. Fair enough.
And the manual does say that it can merge and duplicate those asms (and suggests using "%=" to generate a unique number, but I guess "%c0" with __COUNTER__ is equivalent).
I think the gcc manual has changed. I'm pretty certain it used to say that "volatile" asms would not be "moved significantly". They've silently changed semantics before too, oh well.
