[PATCH 0/6] The DWARF assembler and Clang

[Andrew Burgess <aburgess@redhat.com>]

In a reply to a recent mailing list message of mine, it was mentioned
that the DWARF assembler doesn't work with Clang.

I know that once upon a time this was the case, but I thought those
problems had long been fixed, but I did some investigation anyway.

I ran all the tests that mention 'Dwarf::assemble' and compared the
results between gcc and Clang.  This series addresses all the
regressions that I found.

The general summary is that the DWARF assembler works fine with Clang.
All the issues I found were minor, and specific to individual tests.

The final patch converts an existing test to use the DWARF assembler,
when I proposed this earlier the feedback was the DWARF assembler
doesn't work with Clang.  My claim is that it's fine, and switching to
the DWARF assembler will increase test coverage.

Thanks,
Andrew
