Subject: Inline assembler

I have a small assembler routine that waits for a vertical retrace of the 
screen, something very useful for graphics, and two little problems:

1) The routine makes a jump to a label, that's ok, but when compiling whit 
-O3, it gets inlined, so the label gets duplicated everywhere the 
function is called, and the program won't compile. Is there something like a 
"not_inline" directive to tell the compiler NOT to inline that function?, 
or a way to define a local label? (i saw it on the info files, but i  
couldn't make it work, if somebody has, please send me an example).

2) How do i reference a local variable (or label) or an argument passed to a 
function from an asm? _varname only seems to work with globals.

Thanks in advance.
