[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#405599: sp_counted_base_gcc_ppc: insufficient constraints on inline assembly

[Aaron M. Ucko]

I think bug #405599 may be responsible for #404616 (which I tried to
x-debbugs-cc):

> Package: libboost-dev
> Version: 1.33.1-9
> Severity: important
> File: /usr/include/boost/detail/sp_counted_base_gcc_ppc.hpp
> Tags: patch
>
> Several functions in sp_counted_base_gcc_{ppc,ia64}.hpp specify their
> read-write *pw argument only as an output operand to their inline
> assembly code, potentially running afoul of gcc's optimizer.  (This
> can definitely be a problem with GCC 4.0.1 on Mac OS X, and I know of
> no reason it wouldn't also affect 4.1.1 on Linux.)
