Hi Pali, Hi Richard,
Having file name and line number would be also useful as it took me
some time to figure out where is the issue...
Right - I have tried a little harder and come up with a follow up patch.
This is now checked in, and given an input file that looks like this:
% cat t.s
kernoff:
.set KERNEL_OFFSET, 0x40000
.set CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, 0x80008000
.word 44
.word KERNEL_OFFSET - (. - CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE)
.word - (. - 0x80008000)
.word 0x40000 - (. - 0x0)
The assembler now produces the following output:
t.s: Assembler messages:
t.s:5: Error: expression is too complex to be resolved or converted into
relocations
t.s:6: Error: expression is too complex to be resolved or converted into
relocations
Note - some targets do support applying multiple relocations to a
single address, but even then there can be expressions that cannot
be resolved this way. That is why the error message refers to
"converted into relocations" rather than just "converted into a
relocation".
Cheers
Nick
