Hello,
On GCC: gcc (Ubuntu 7.2.0-8ubuntu3) 7.2.0, Binutils: GNU ld (GNU Binutils for
Ubuntu) 2.29.1,I get such error messages:
boot.c: In function ‘dummy_do_not_call’:
boot.c:1656:3: error: invalid 'asm': operand is not a condition code, invalid
operand code 'c'
asm volatile (" bootbefore_part2_PhysicaldriveNb = %c0 " : : "p"
(&bootbefore.part2.PhysicaldriveNb));
^~~
The source is simply something like:__attribute__((weak)) void
dummy_do_not_call (void)
{
asm volatile (" bootbefore_part2_PhysicaldriveNb = %c0 " : : "p"
(&bootbefore.part2.PhysicaldriveNb));
... same pattern ...}
and that "strange" asm is used to be able to access fields of structures in
assembler.
The %c0 modifier is clearly defined
in:https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Extended-Asm.html#x86-Operand-Modifiersto
print the constant expression with no punctuation, we should just get in the
assembler file:bootbefore_part2_PhysicaldriveNb = bootbefore+42
Is there something wrong with GCC compiled for the latest Ubuntu?Where that
"condition code" message is coming from?
Thanks for any answer,Etienne.
