I have some question about extended assembly in mips
1. is mips assembly in AT&T syntax?
    from the document I google from the web, they emphasize that the
GNU C compiler use AT&T syntax, and they list some example about intel
instructions.
But when I write the extended assembly in mips, I find it seem not AT&T syntax.
The order of input and output is still the same as original mips instructions.
Does that mean GNU compiler for mips doesn't use AT&T syntax?

2. how do we know which parameter is for %0,%1,etc?

suppose my src is as below
 asm(
                "add %0, %1, %2\n"
                "sub %0,%2, %1\n"
                :"=r" (count)
                :"r" (temp), "r" (count)
        );
how do I know which parameter is %0, %1 and %2?
there 2 variable, count and temp above, but in assembly it use 3 parameters.
how to match them?

appreciate your kind help,
