Hi Hans-Peter,
I'm not completely sure this new gas warning is a good thing.
I mean, symbols such as those below don't really interfere with
the insn namespace, do they?
No, but they can be a little bit confusing and the problem I was trying
to solve, of an instruction name being mistakenly treated as a symbol,
is genuine. It would be better I agree to restrict this check to just
the case where the "=" assignment operator is being used, but I did not
want to modify generic code. Maybe I should have done that. :-(
To wit, right now, the new symbol "sanity-check" causes failures
for --target arm-eabi check-sim:
So it does. I should have checked that before committing the patch. Sorry.
