Non-const DoNotOptimize() can't compile when used with some types.
Example of code which can't compile:
char buffer3[3] = "";
benchmark::DoNotOptimize(buffer3);
Error message:
error: impossible constraint in 'asm'
asm volatile("" : "+r"(value) : : "memory");
Introduced in 8545dfb (Fix DoNotOptimize() GCC copy overhead (#1340) (#1410))
The cause is compiler can't work with the +r constraint for types that can't
be placed perfectly in registers. For example, char array[3] can't be perfectly
fit in register on x86_64 so it requires placed in memory but constraint
doesn't allow that.
Solution
- Use +m,r constraint for the small objects so the compiler can decide to use
register or/and memory
- For the big objects +m constraint is used which allows avoiding extra copy
bug(see #1340)
- The same approach is used for the const version of DoNotOptimize()
although the const version works fine with the "r" constraint only.
Using mixed r,m constraint looks more general solution.
