+//   Output operand constraints:
+//     = | operand (variable) is written to by this instruction
+//     + | operand (variable) is written to / read from by this instruction
+//
+//   Input/Output operand constraints:
+//     r | allocate general purpose register
+//
+//   Machine specific constraints (x86_64):
+//     a  | a register (eg rax)
+//     d  | d register (eg rdx)
+//     D  | di register (eg rdi)
+//     S  | si register (eg rsi)
+//
+//  Local register variables:
+//    In case a specific register is required which can not be specified via a
+//    machine specific constraint.

+//    register long r12 asm ("r12") = 42;
