Hi!

Some adjustments needed after the inline-asm side-effect changes.
Ok for trunk?

2010-07-13  Jakub Jelinek  <jakub@redhat.com>

	PR testsuite/44701
	* doc/md.texi: Clarify m and es constraints on PowerPC and m and S
	constraints on IA-64.

	* gcc.target/powerpc/asm-es-2.c (f2): Add <> constraints.


	Jakub

Did you mean to remove the part before the first comma?

Andreas.

I haven't actually removed it?  Consider it done.  Thanks.
