From 1a20d3ecf5c2a6435df2b756435b1eb1c657d45b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Mon, 26 May 2008 13:36:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86: string_32.h: workaround for broken gcc 4.0 gcc 4.0 fails to allocate %eax for the pattern operand in the rep store instructions used by memset; force it to do so by declaring a register variable.
