@item wa
Any VSX register if the -mvsx option was used or NO_REGS.
When using any of the register constraints (@code{wa}, @code{wd},
@code{wf}, @code{wg}, @code{wh}, @code{wi}, @code{wj}, @code{wk},
@code{wl}, @code{wm}, @code{ws}, @code{wt}, @code{wu}, @code{wv},
@code{ww}, or @code{wy}) that take VSX registers, you must use
@code{%x<n>} in the template so that the correct register is used.
Otherwise the register number output in the assembly file will be
incorrect if an Altivec register is an operand of a VSX instruction
that expects VSX register numbering.
@smallexample
asm ("xvadddp %x0,%x1,%x2" : "=wa" (v1) : "wa" (v2), "wa" (v3));
@end smallexample
is correct, but:
@smallexample
asm ("xvadddp %0,%1,%2" : "=wa" (v1) : "wa" (v2), "wa" (v3));
@end smallexample
is not correct.
@item wd
VSX vector register to hold vector double data or NO_REGS.
