| <p><a name="index-operand-constraints_002c-_0040code_007basm_007d-2531"></a><a name="index-constraints_002c-_0040code_007basm_007d-2532"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007basm_007d-constraints-2533"></a> |
| Here are specific details on what constraint letters you can use with |
| <code>asm</code> operands. |
| Constraints can say whether |
| an operand may be in a register, and which kinds of register; whether the |
| operand can be a memory reference, and which kinds of address; whether the |
| operand may be an immediate constant, and which possible values it may |
| have. Constraints can also require two operands to match. |
