Subject: [asm] Difference of symbols in another section
Date: Sat, 08 Sep 2001 03:49:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3B99F88A.BCF5D689@wipro.com> (raw)

Hi Alan,

You had submitted the below patch for assembler (expr.c),
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/gas/expr.c.diff?r1=1.33&r2=1.34&cvsroot=src&f=h

and then you reverted it in the next revision !! I couldn't find any
message descrbing either of the changes.

The patch was useful in the following case:
-----------------------------------------------
.data
foo:
    .word 0x00
bar:
.text
start:
    jmp start + (bar - foo)
---------------------------------------------

The i386 and ARM assemblers parse this with default options,
but complain when listings are enabled.

The patch you had submitted corrected the problem, and I did not find
any side-effects, although I have not tested it thoroughly.

If there are no issues, can you reapply that patch?

regards,
Harshad
