Rollup merge of #73364 - joshtriplett:inline-asm, r=Amanieu
asm: Allow multiple template string arguments; interpret them as newline-separated Allow the `asm!` macro to accept a series of template arguments, and interpret them as if they were concatenated with a '\n' between them. This allows writing an `asm!` where each line of assembly appears in a separate template string argument. This syntax makes it possible for rustfmt to reliably format and indent each line of assembly, without risking changes to the inside of a template string. It also avoids the complexity of having the user carefully format and indent a multi-line string (including where to put the surrounding quotes), and avoids the extra indentation and lines of a call to `concat!`. For example, rewriting the second example from the [blog post on the new inline assembly syntax](https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2020/06/08/new-inline-asm.html) using multiple template strings: ```rust fn main() { let mut bits = [0u8; 64]; for value in 0..=1024u64 { let popcnt; unsafe { asm!( " popcnt {popcnt}, {v}", "2:", " blsi rax, {v}", " jz 1f", " xor {v}, rax", " tzcnt rax, rax", " stosb", " jmp 2b", "1:", v = inout(reg) value => _, popcnt = out(reg) popcnt, out("rax") _, // scratch inout("rdi") bits.as_mut_ptr() => _, ); } println!("bits of {}: {:?}", value, &bits[0..popcnt]); } } ``` Note that all the template strings must appear before all other arguments; you cannot, for instance, provide a series of template strings intermixed with the corresponding operands.
