   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.

Try  -fno-inline-functions perhaps with -fno-inline.
