Applied with this explanation:

    eal: do not redefine asm keyword in C++
    
    C++ forbids redefining a keyword as a macro.
    The keyword asm is conditionally-supported and implementation defined,
    but it seems our best guess.
    
    In C, if asm does not exist, it is defined as __asm__
    which is a GNU extension.


One more question:
Can we have a similar issue with typeof?
I guess it works because typeof is not a keyword?
