Hi,

I am unfamiliar with gcc/as assembler syntax (gcc 2.95.3, as 2.11.2,
NetBSD 1.6_BETA3). The following code has a problem:

  int vgar(volatile caddr_t ba, int idx)
  {
  register int erg;
  asm volatile ("movel %1, a0;\
                  movel %2,d1;
                  movel a0@(d1), %0;" :\
                  "=3Dr" (erg):\
                  "g" (ba), "d" (idx) :\
                  "a0", "d0", "d1");
  return erg;
  }


This gets translated into:

  ...
  #APP
          movel %d2, a0;                movel %d3,d1;
                  movel a0@(d1), %d2;
  #NO_APP
  ...

and 'as' complains about:

  /tmp/cc1Pws5c.s:41: Error: syntax error -- statement `movel a0@(d1),%d2' =
ignored


=46rom what I have found, I think every register name should be preceded by
a '%' (%% in the C source file).

Without the % in front of the register names, 'as' translates the above
(according to objdump) to:

  10:   23c2 0000 0000  movel %d2,0 <vgar>
  16:   23c3 0000 0000  movel %d3,0 <vgar>
  1c:   2430 0170 0000  movel %a0@(00000000),%d2

which seems not to be the intended output:

  10:   2042            moveal %d2,%a0
  12:   2203            movel %d3,%d1
  14:   2430 1800       movel %a0@(00000000,%d1:l),%d2


Can someone confirm this?

As the cvs log tells me this functions's file was last modified in 1997,
I suppose there has been some change in assembler syntax since then?

Can anyone tell me where to find more information about the changes?
I fear there will be some more places which need to be changed.
