After all, > [3] took precedence, and a long time has passed since then. There's a conflict between [1] and various assembly code formats. Some formats define, say, mov 4,r1 to move the number 4 into register r1, and: mov (4),r1 to move the contents of the memory at address 4 into r1. Therefore, you cannot simply wrap numeric operands in brackets. What might work is adding a '+' on the front, e.g.: mov +(4),r1 David -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

But, nobody has raised a flag about the reverted [1]. (perhaps, nobody cares about the old gas any more?) So, I think this patch will be OK. BTW, do you still maintain mn10300? (Before, I worked for Panasonic, i.e. former Matsushita)

Kind of. I don't really have working hardware any more, though.

This part ended up in redundant code after touched by multiple people. [1] Commit 3234282f33b2 ("x86, asm: Fix CFI macro invocations to deal with shortcomings in gas") added parentheses for defined expressions to support old gas for x86. [2] Commit a22dcdb0032c ("x86, asm: Fix ancient-GAS workaround") split the pattern into two to avoid parentheses for non-numeric expressions. [3] Commit 95a2f6f72d37 ("Partially revert patch that encloses asm-offset.h numbers in brackets") removed parentheses from numeric expressions as well because parentheses in MN10300 assembly have a special meaning (pointer access). Apparently, there is a conflict between [1] and [3]. After all, [3] took precedence, and a long time has passed since then. Now, merge the two patterns again because the first one is covered by the other.
