// Inline ASM
//   Syntax:
//     asm asm-qualifiers (AssemblerTemplate : OutputOperands : InputOperands : Clobbers)
//
//   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.
//    ```c
//    register long r12 asm ("r12") = 42;
//    asm("nop" : : "r"(r10));
//    ```
