Proposed patch
Hi Oleg,
> Nick, do you have any opinion on the patch in c#2?
Yes - I would much prefer to patch the assembler so that it can cope with large
values, even when compiled for a 32-bit host. That way the assembler will be
able to cope even with source files that are not generated by gcc.
A patch like the one attached here perhaps... :-)
I also happen to like seeing large constants as hex values, as 9 times out of
10, the hex value will make more sense. (Well at least in my experience
anyway).
Would you like to close this PR and open a binutils one instead, or shall I do
it ?
Cheers
Nick
