$ cat<<EOF>testcase.S
label1:
.space FOO
label2:
EOF
$ gcc -c testcase.S
asmtest.S: Assembler messages:
asmtest.S:3: Error: .space specifies non-absolute value
That error message is expected. Now try this:
$ cat<<EOF>testcase.S
label1:
.space FOO*4
label2:
EOF
$ gcc -c testcase.S
$ echo $?
0
$ nm testcase.o
U FOO
0000000000000000 t label1
0000000000000000 t label2
I should get the same build error as before. This behavior occurs with * and <<,
but not + (i.e. FOO+4 fails to build, but FOO<<4 succeeds).
I've observed this with:
binutils gcc
x86-64 2.15 3.3.5
ppc64 2.15 3.4.2
