Have you googled it? Have you read the manual?

asm volatile("pop %0" : "=r" (my_value))

You might, however, not everyone agrees with you.

I sure don't, 99.9% of the time.

Inline assembly can be annoying, but it makes the code better (in my opinion) because I don't have to load 2 files to look at one function.

I like it better than normal assembly.

For just one or two instructions, inline assembly is imho better.
A seperate file is "too much" for such tiny things.

Inline assembly integrates better into the c code. There are no unnecessary register spills and there is no function prologue / epilogue overhead if the inline assembly instructions can be inlined.
