Thanks for the answer!
Do you think it would be possible to change the
.type <symbol>,@object
for
.type <symbol>,object
in gensetdef? By looking in the gas code I found that the assembler just
ignores the @ character.
The reason I ask this is because by default, the @ character is used by the
ARM assembler to represent
begin of comments. GCC/GAS could be hacked to avoid doing this but in the
long run I think it would be
easier just to remove the @ character.
If I remember correctly it could be changed to `#object' or `%object' too
but this could cause the same
problem as with the @ character for other assemblers.
P.S.: Sorry for the lack of diff, I'm currenty at work and don't have access
to the source code
