I have this comptime assembly in zig and I want use a externally defined constant variable TRAPFRAME. I keep getting an error that the operand needs to be a 64bit constant. I know the value will be less than 64 bits and the way around is disabling the riscv hints but that requires manipulating the LLVM or clang and you cant do that in zig build
<inline asm>:22:24: operand must be a constant 64-bit integer
li a0, TRAPFRAME
Thanks for the help
export const TRAPFRAME: u64 = 0x6696969;
