C++: Support constexpr strings for asm statements
Some programing styles use a lot of inline assembler, and it is common to use very complex preprocessor macros to generate the assembler strings for the asm statements. In C++ there would be a typesafe alternative using templates and constexpr to generate the assembler strings, but unfortunately the asm statement requires plain string literals, so this doesn't work. This patch modifies the C++ parser to accept strings generated by constexpr instead of just plain strings. This requires new syntax because e.g. asm("..." : "r" (expr)) would be ambigious with a function call. I chose () to make it unique. For example now you can write constexpr const char *genasm() { return "insn"; } constexpr const char *genconstraint() { return "r"; } asm(genasm() :: (genconstraint()) (input)); The constexpr strings are allowed for the asm template, the constraints and the clobbers (every time current asm accepts a string) This version allows the same constexprs as C++26 static_assert, following Jakub's suggestion. The drawback of this scheme is that the constexpr doesn't have full control over the input/output/clobber lists, but that can be usually handled with a switch statement. One could imagine more flexible ways to handle that, for example supporting constexpr vectors for the clobber list, or similar. But even without that it is already useful. Bootstrapped and full test on x86_64-linux. gcc/c-family/ChangeLog: * c-cppbuiltin.cc (c_cpp_builtins): Define __GXX_CONSTEXPR_ASM__ gcc/cp/ChangeLog: * parser.cc (cp_parser_asm_string_expression): New function to handle constexpr strings for asm.
