Hi,

Maybe those scan-asm regexp are too strict and should be relaxed a

I agree with this, since with -fPIC the code produced would be different,
just use symbol + constant may be too strict.

I think the scan-assembler could be reduced to
/* { dg-final { scan-assembler "(?:movdqu|movups)\[
\\t\]+\[^\n\]*%xmm1,\[^\n\r]*16" } } */

1. might I suggest using the {} form of quoting these regexes - it makes them much more readable.

… e.g. more like this:
{(?:movdqu|movups)[\t]+[^\n]*%xmm1,[^\n\r]*16}

2. I think there are some syntax errors in the regexes for these tests
   (because it’s very hard to check them when using the “” quotes).

 "(?:movdqu|movups)\[ \\t\]+\[^\n\]*%xmm1,\[^\n\r]*16"
………………………………………………………^ missing \ (in several places)

3. are you intending to update the tests?


==== As for the comments on the asm output.

1) it would seem that both comments can’t be correct (since they contradict!)
2) AFAICT, None of the assemblers I use has any issue with either order
3) perhaps there’s no assembler in use that cares any more
4) clang produces symbol+offset for that case on Darwin (i.e. the same as final.c).

thanks
Iain
