   Those are different things.

   The multiline string literal deprecation comes from people who
   define what the new ANSI-C (C9X, or whatever) is, and inline asm
   just uses literal strings as its input data.

   The inline asm() does essentially want to look like a function call
   with lots of strings as parameters.  It has special __builtin_ meaning,
   of course, but that is way after the lexical input scanner has done
   its work.
