Bug ID: 66509
Summary: the new clang-based assembler in Xcode 7 on 10.11
fails on the libjava/java/lang/reflect/natArray.cc

Status: UNCONFIRMED

assembly for ibjava/java/lang/reflect/natArray.cc at -m32 on x86_64 darwin
The public Xcode 7 beta and associated Command Line Tools (available on 10.10
from https://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/ and
https://developer.apple.com/downloads/) replace the legacy GNU assembler with a
clang-based assembler. The new clang-based assembler fails to compile
libjava/java/lang/reflect/natArray.cc at -m32 in the multilib build of libjava
due to the assembler errors...

This issue can be reproduced with the attached natArray.s assembly file using
the command...
as -arch i386 -force_cpusubtype_ALL -o natArray.o natArray.s
against the new clang-based assembler. The same file is processed without
errors using the legacy GNU-based assembler from Xcode 6.2 on 10.9 or Xcode 6.3
on 10.10.
Can the FSF gcc i386 maintainers comment on whether there is anything in the
Intel/AMD instruction specifications that merits this strict behavior for the
assembler with regard to ambiguous fild instructions?
Note that this compilation failure is limited to -m32 and that the -m64 build
of libjava is processed without errors by the new clang-based assembler.
