I want compiler to print y_offset in my piece of inline assembly code.
In above example i will get y_offset in variable and i.e instead of writing

asm(...
    mov <y_offset>(%%eax),%%edx
    ...)

I would have to write

asm(...
    mov _y_offset,%%eax
    mov <y_offset>(%%eax),%%edx
    ...)

see the difference

i tried something like this

asm(...
   "%0(%%eax),%%edx  \n"
    ...
    ::"m"(*(&some_struct.member-&some_struct)) /*this thing gives*/
                                               /*variable at offset of*/
                                               /*offset of member */
   );
but it won't work
