Hi Axel,
: Okay, from looking at the source I've seen the --defsym option.
:
: I guess just the web-documention is a little out of date or?
: http://sources.redhat.com/binutils/docs-2.10/as_2.html
: I've nowhere seen the --defsym in this doc.
Yes, the web documentation is out of date. If anyone would like to
volunteer to update it, I would be more than happy to assist them.
: Another question, if my assembler fails it produces a zero size file.
: Well this is especially nasty for make, as it does not process this file
: again :(
That is a bug. The assembler is not supposed to produce an output
file if it sees any errors (unless the -Z command line option has been
used). Can you send a test case that reproduces this problem ?
: Is there somewhere documented the exact ppc assembler flavor gas speaks?
: (I mean how it does want register to look like etc.)
I do not know about this. I would imagine that it would accept
whatever syntax is specified by the PPC ABI or Architecture
documents.
Cheers
Nick
