Yes, we know. :-)

The asm primitive (even with most gcc extensions) was implemented years 
ago. However, in your example asm was not used as a statement or 
declaration. As Matthias wrote, this special feature, which I hadn't 
seen before, was implemented only recently.

Note that in the C++ standard "asm ( string-literal ) ;" is an 
asm-definition. It can be used a kind of declaration or declaration 
statement. However, it cannot be used after a function declarator. This 
seems to be a g++ language extension.

As long as you don't want to weave *inside* the avr-glibc it should be 
no problem. BTW, is avr-glibc the same as avr-libc from 
www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/? The latter has been used with AspectC++ for 
quite some time without trouble.
