In binutils, PREFIX_SEPARATOR is defined as '/' for x86. But there
is
#if defined (TE_I386AIX) || defined (OBJ_ELF) || defined (OBJ_MAYBE_ELF)
const char comment_chars[] = "#/";
#else
const char comment_chars[] = "#";
#endif
in config/tc-i386.c. It makes '/' to start a comment. It won't work.
Why do you say ``it won't work?'' What do you mean? That code has
been there since May 1993, so clearly it can work.
We can define PREFIX_SEPARATOR as
#if defined (TE_I386AIX) || defined (OBJ_ELF) || defined (OBJ_MAYBE_ELF)
#define PREFIX_SEPARATOR '\\'
#else
#define PREFIX_SEPARATOR '/'
#endif
But I don't like it. Any suggestion how to fix it?
What is the actual problem you are trying to solve?
Ian
