Hello,
Re: gas from binutils-2.18.1~cvs20080103-0ubuntu1
When I attempt to use dollar local labels in gas, it consistently
issues errors. Based on what I think is the manual for this version,
I believe that dollar locals ought to be supported. As an example,
when I try to assemble the file:
55$: cmpl $0, %eax
jmp 55$
The assembler issues the following messages:
test.s: Assembler messages:
test.s:1: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `5'
test.s:2: Error: junk `$' after expression
Could somebody perhaps give me a hint as to what might be going on?
For example, are dollar locals a build-time option which might have
been disabled? Or am I mistaken about the fact that this version
supports them?
Thank you very much for any suggestions,
Hannes.
