Hi, On 4/17/19 9:28 PM, Stefano Stabellini wrote: Why? The compiler will implicitly convert the int to bool. 0 will turn to false, all the other will be true.On Wed, 27 Mar 2019, Julien Grall wrote:Clang is pickier than GCC for the register size in asm statement. It expects the register size to match the value size. The asm statement expects a 32-bit (resp. 64-bit) value on Arm32 (resp. Arm64) whereas the value is a boolean (Clang consider to be 32-bit). It would be possible to impose 32-bit register for both architecture but this require the code to use __OP32. However, it does not really improve the assembly generated. Instead, replace switch the variable to use register_t.

Maybe something like: return unlikely(!!ret); We actually been actively removing !! when the type is bool (see the example in get_paged_frame in common/grant_table.c).
