[avr-libc-dev] problem with inline assembly

[varsha]

hello everyone,
as you mentioned in the pdf avr-libc-user-manual -1.2.3, in the section 7.4.7C 
"names used in Assembler code",
that with WINAVR GCC we can specify use of specific register by using 
syntax...
register unsigned char counter asm("r3");

so that assembler will use register r3 when we do operations with counter 
variable...

but i tried it one program but doesn't work....!!

and is it only applicable for inline code...?

or can i specify say 4 variables in my c program crc0,crc1,crc3and crc4...as
register unsigned char crc0 asm("r11");
register unsigned char crc1 asm("r12");
register unsigned char crc2 asm("r13");
register unsigned char crc3 asm("r14");

and whenever i 'll modify these variables only these registers'll be used...
or any other option is there to do the same??

please reply soon,
thanks and regards,
varsha
