This ‘P’ is used to make gcc happy and work. Without ‘P’, this inline would be interpreted as: leal $-512(%esp), %eax With ‘P’, this inline is the thing we really want: leal -512(%esp), %eax Eventually, my gcc 4.9.2 does not compile with ‘P’ is missing. I am not sure if this is still the case for newer gcc (5/6). But you get the point. -daveti

Hi
In /arch/x86/boot/main.c (http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/x86/boot/main.c <http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/x86/boot/main.c>) ,
In the function init_heap, asm("leal %P1(%%esp),%0" 122 <http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/x86/boot/source/arch/x86/boot/main...> : "=r" (stack_end) : "i" (-STACK_SIZE <http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/x86/boot/ident?i=STACK_SIZE>)); What does the ‘%P1’ mean in the inline assembly above ?
