类似register uint32_t __regPriMask __ASM("primask");的代码分析

本文仅对 keil armcc 编译器有效，对于其他编译器未验证，不清楚。

代码：

#define __ASM            __asm   /*!< asm keyword for ARM Compiler */
#define __INLINE         __inline  /*!< inline keyword for ARM Compiler */
#define __STATIC_INLINE  static __inline

/** \brief Set Priority Mask
This function assigns the given value to the Priority Mask Register.
\param [in] priMask Priority Mask
*/
__STATIC_INLINE void __set_PRIMASK(uint32_t priMask)
{
   register uint32_t __regPriMask         __ASM("primask");
   __regPriMask = (priMask);
}

9.155 Named register variables
The compiler enables you to access registers of an ARM architecture-based processor or coprocessor using named register variables.
Syntax register type var-name __asm(reg); Where:

type

• is the type of the named register variable.
  
• Any type of the same size as the register being named can be used in the declaration of a named register variable. The type can be a structure, but bitfield layout is sensitive to endianness.

var-name

• is the name of the named register variable.

reg

• is a character string denoting the name of a register on an ARM architecture-based processor, or for coprocessor registers, a string syntax that identifies the coprocessor and corresponds with how you intend to use the variable.
• Registers available for use with named register variables on ARM architecture-based processors are shown in the following table.

其大致意思是：可以用register type var-name __asm(reg)这样的定义，来声明一个命名寄存器的变量，像使用变量一样操作他们；
type 是声明变量的类型；需要与寄存器大小一致，且注意大小端；
var-name 是声明变量的名称；
