That's unsurprising as the D asm parser is being used here. Not really sure what to do about it, as duplicating the gcc asm behavior would be a big job.

I'm going to mark this as an Enhancement, as ImportC's mission is to compile C11.

The focus for DMD itself may be to make importC follow DMC asm as closely as it makes sense to do so.

This bug report is more for me (and ldc) though, as all asm code in Posix C headers and sources would be in the GCC style.

I'm surprised the GDC inline asm isn't the same as GCC. I just presumed they were the same. DMC and DMD inline asm differs mainly because I didn't backport the improvements to DMC.

In D, asm is a statement, in C/C++ its an expression.

--- Comment #7 from Walter Bright <bugzilla@digitalmars.com> ---
DMD now supports parsing GCC style inline assembler, although it doesn't actually turn it into assembler code - it replaces it with an assert(0).

DMD's inline assembler is derived from DMC's, although the latter does not support 64 bit code or SIMD instructions. I don't recall how different it is for ordinary 32 bit code.

At this point it is not worth worrying about DMC inline asm compatibility, so deferring a decision about it until an actual issue crops up about it.
