Apologies if this attaches to the previous post.
As a finale to this thread I decided to compile using the correct 'asm()' function __asm__ volatile() .
Code:
/* Real obfuscation scenario. */

#include <stdio.h>

int addition(int NUM1, int NUM2);
int obfuscate(int NUM1, int NUM2);

int main()
{
    int NUMBER1;
    int NUMBER2;
    int SUM;

    __asm__ volatile("nop;"
    "jmp    out;"
    "in:"
    "nop;");

    printf("Enter two integer numbers:- ");
    scanf("%d %d", &NUMBER1, &NUMBER2);

    SUM = addition(NUMBER1, NUMBER2);

    printf("SUM = %d.\n", SUM);

    return(0);
}

int addition(int NUM1,int NUM2)
{
    int RESULT;
    RESULT = NUM1 + NUM2;
    return RESULT;
}

int obfuscate(int NUM1,int NUM2)
{
    int RESULT;

    __asm__ volatile("jmp    getout;"
    "nop;"
    "out:"
    "nop;"
    "jmp    in;"
    "getout:"
    "nop;");
    /* Any number of these jimps could be used to hide stuff. */

    RESULT = NUM1 / NUM2;
    return RESULT;
}

Results, OSX 10.14.3, default bash terminal, gcc 4.2.1.
The results are similar for AMIGA OS 3.0.x gcc 2.95.3 and Linunx Mint 19 gcc 7.3.0.

OUTB(2) 						     Linux Programmer's Manual							   OUTB(2)

NAME

       outb, outw, outl, outsb, outsw, outsl, inb, inw, inl, insb, insw, insl, outb_p, outw_p, outl_p, inb_p, inw_p, inl_p - port I/O

DESCRIPTION

       This  family  of  functions  is	used  to do low-level port input and output.  The out* functions do port output, the in* functions do port
       input; the b-suffix functions are byte-width and the w-suffix functions word-width; the _p-suffix functions pause until the I/O completes.

       They are primarily designed for internal kernel use, but can be used from user space.

       You compile with -O or -O2 or similar.  The functions are defined as inline macros, and will not be  substituted  in  without  optimization
       enabled, causing unresolved references at link time.

       You  use  ioperm(2)  or	alternatively  iopl(2) to tell the kernel to allow the user space application to access the I/O ports in question.
       Failure to do this will cause the application to receive a segmentation fault.

CONFORMING TO

       outb() and friends are hardware-specific.  The value argument is passed first and the port argument is passed second, which is the opposite
       order from most DOS implementations.
