Inline assembly (`asm!`) is not supported on this target. | ||
|
||
Example of erroneous code: | ||
|
||
```ignore (cannot-change-target) | ||
// compile-flags: --target sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu | ||
#![no_std] | ||
|
||
use core::arch::asm; | ||
|
||
fn main() { | ||
unsafe { | ||
asm!(""); // error: inline assembly is not supported on this target | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The Rust compiler does not support inline assembly, with the `asm!` macro | ||
(previously `llvm_asm!`), for all targets. All Tier 1 targets do support this | ||
macro but support among Tier 2 and 3 targets is not guaranteed (even when they | ||
have `std` support). Note that this error is related to | ||
`error[E0658]: inline assembly is not stable yet on this architecture`, but | ||
distinct in that with `E0472` support is not planned or in progress. | ||
|
||
There is no way to easily fix this issue, however: | ||
Ezrashaw marked this conversation as resolved.

* Consider if you really need inline assembly, is there some other way to | ||
achieve your goal (intrinsics, etc)? | ||
* Consider writing your assembly externally, linking with it and calling it | ||
from Rust. | ||
* Consider contributing to <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust> and help | ||
integrate support for your target! |
