What about global_asm?

The only mention of global_asm! in the RFC is a note under "future possibilities" that global_asm! could be extended to support imm and sym constraints.

That would be nice, but what about the current form of global_asm!? Is the RFC proposing to stabilize it? It probably should be stabilized along with the new asm!, but the RFC doesn't explicitly say so.

The RFC does not mention anything about global_asm!, so AFAICT, it is not proposing to do anything about it.

It probably should be stabilized along with the new asm!,

Why?

This is actually mentioned in the project group charter, which states that global_asm! is within the scope of the project group, but it is left for the future since it is not required for an inline assembly MVP.
