[Bug inline-asm/35340] New: Space around the operator of a macro definition gives "too many positional arguments" when compiling an .S file

[aparna dot upadhya at gmail dot com]

Hi,

I am trying to compile bootrom on power PC (8360) for vxWorks (version 5.4).
When compiling romInit.S I am getting following errors

./romInit.s:437: Error: too many positional arguments
../romInit.s:453: Error: too many positional arguments
../romInit.s:453: Error: too many positional arguments
../romInit.s:457: Error: too many positional arguments
../romInit.s:457: Error: too many positional arguments
../romInit.s:481: Error: too many positional arguments
../romInit.s:481: Error: too many positional arguments
../romInit.s:485: Error: too many positional arguments
../romInit.s:485: Error: too many positional arguments
../romInit.s:500: Error: too many positional arguments
../romInit.s:500: Error: too many positional arguments

The reason is it is not taking space around the operator in a macro definition 
ex:

li r3, A

where as A is defined as 

#define A (a + b)

looks like we need to remove spaces around operator 

#define A (a+b)

I can write a script to remove this. But this will reduce visibility

Is there any fix for this problem in later versions?

thanks
aparna

I don't think this is a bug.  How are you invoking GCC?

Hi ,

Thanks for the reply. Pls find attached make output

../romInit.s:414: Error: too many positional arguments

This error comes only when compiling ".s" files

thanks

The error is emitted by the assembler, this has nothing to do with the
preprocessor.

yes, but this error is not displayed by 2.95.3 GAS. I am trying to migrate from
2.95.3 to 3.4.5. Is there anything I am missing when configuring GCC ?

Hi,

This is the dupplicate of the bug "Bugzilla Bug 1070 " which is still in Open
state. Sorry to open under a wrong component

thanks
