asm() is not really a function; it instructs the C compiler to place
literal text in the intermediate file which is fed to the assembler. It
is a way to place assembly language within C source files.

If your build is complaining about asm() being undefined, then I would
assuyme that you C compiler doesn't support asm() so it treats it as an
external function. Perhaps there is some compiler switch to allow asm.
