Can anyone please explain what is the meaning of this code for ARM?

__asm__ __volatile__("mov %0, pc \n":"=r"(val)::"memory")

I think it stores the value of program counter in the variable val. Am I correct?

    That’s right, it puts the program counter into val.

    The =r means that it’s an output write-only variable. "memory" tells the compiler not to cache values across the inline assembly. I’m not 100% sure why "memory" has been used here though.
