Subject: [binutils-gdb] gas: change meaning of ; in the BPF assembler
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2023 14:01:58 +0000 (GMT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231128140158.AA660385AC11@sourceware.org> (raw)
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=4c5f2370fd1b53d56504f28ba55277dbed2a5b69
commit 4c5f2370fd1b53d56504f28ba55277dbed2a5b69
Author: Jose E. Marchesi <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>
Date: Tue Nov 28 11:58:58 2023 +0100
gas: change meaning of ; in the BPF assembler
The BPF assembler in clang uses semi-colon (;) to separate statements,
not to be begin line comments. This patch adapts the GNU assembler
accordingly.
Testsuite and documentation updated accordingly.
2023-11-28 Jose E. Marchesi <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>
