The accumulator should be an earlyclobber because it is written before
all input operands are read. Otherwise, the asm code computes a wrong
result if the accumulator shares a register with one of the other input
operands (which happens if we pass in the same expression for the
accumulator and the operand).

If a global function has no previous declaration, either the declaration
is missing in the corresponding header file or the function should be
declared static. Static functions are local to the translation unit,
which allows the compiler to apply some optimizations earlier (when
compiling the translation unit rather than during link-time
optimization).
The commit enables the warning for gcc, clang, and mingw. It also fixes
the reported warnings by declaring the functions static or by adding a
header file (benchmark.h).

In both modified methods, the variable 'result' is checked to detect
whether the probe operation failed. However, the variable is not
initialized on all paths, so the check might test an uninitialized
value.
A test position (with TB) is given by:
position fen 3K1k2/R7/8/8/8/8/8/R6Q w - - 0 1 moves a1b1 f8g8 b1a1 g8f8 a1b1 f8g8 b1a1
This is now fixed by always initializing the variable.
