I had noticed this as well - I thought it worked at first but it always
returned the same SP offset :-)
While somebody is working on this area, is it possible to have the use
of a variable via the %<name> mechanism in an asm statement linked to the
lifetime of the variable in the same way as using it in a C statement ?
This would prevent the compiler from re-using a register or stack location
which inline assembly is still using, and would also enable the compiler to
correctly assign a register or stack location based on the usage of all the
variables.
