Bug ID: 65898 Summary: GCC puts auto generated code between two asm volatile(".intel_syntax"); and asm volatile(".att_syntax"); globally syntaxed rather than not put or change it's syntax Product: gcc Version: 4.8.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: inline-asm Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: sstsoft at wp dot pl Target Milestone: --- GCC put's code between asm volatile statements ended by new line asm(".intel_syntax noprefix\n"); asm("mov eax,eax\n"); asm(".att_syntax\n"); so it's "auto generated" code is not well recognized by linker(?) /APP # 515 "../../../some.cpp" 1 .intel_syntax noprefix # 0 "" 2 .loc 2 519 0 /NO_APP leal -44(%ebp), %eax #, tmp80 /APP # 519 "../../../some.cpp" 1 mov eax,%eax; # tmp80 # 0 "" 2 # 519 "../../../some.cpp" 1 .att_syntax /NO_APP When i write code without "\n" it's the same. I need to write in one asm(); 1. GCC/GAS is not intuitive as could it be. Think it's little bug but then it's some kind of blocker! 2. When im forced to add .intel_syntax + code + .att_syntax at end there is a problem with global flag -masm=intel and mixed syntaxes. When .att code is mixed with intel asembly code global compiler flag could be easy detected by #ifdef __INTEL_ASM and preprocessor so make decision of #ifdef my .intel_syntaxed code with or without pre .intel statements. But if code is mixed and pre stetemented i can't undef (change back to default syntax) because rest of the auto generated GCC code would be ruined and not recognized. If those statements are in one line asm() i must undef whole code either, and this is specially when asm is in #define macro() because i can't put # in macro body. When i wrote asm volatile("att_syntax"); GCC sometimes put's some code before it formated with global syntax flag and... you know what next: "no such instruction: "
