You are now supposed to use the macro directives recognized by gas directly, instead of via a preprocessor.

[Bug gas/2895] Looking for gasp
--- Additional Comments From steveo at syslang dot net 2006-07-10 18:56 --- Sorry, but this is not acceptable. The current capabilities of gas allow for include, macro, conditional and equates. What's not supplied are looping constructs. The whole point of a macroassembler is to provide exactly what gas and gasp did combined. Not that I have a choice, but if I did, I would request that gasp be put back as part of binutils or that another alternative be supplied. BTW, m4 is not a viable alternative. As far as I'm concerned, gasp could be written in m4, but it's not a currently useable replacement Do you know why gasp became deprecated in the first place? And is my bug (and my reasonig) capable of getting it put back as part of the package? -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2895 --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ___ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
typos
Hello there, The attached patches fix some typos, writing inconsistencies, and punctuation issues in the various documentation bits of binutils and subprojects. (I did not consistently turn en_UK to en_US spelling, there was simply too much of that, so it did not seem too helpful; anyway those would be easy to find.) Please report back if the patches need a different format or anything else is wrong with them; it may be a while though. Cheers, and please Cc: me on replies, Ralf typos-bdf-doc.diff.gz Description: application/gunzip typos-binutils.diff.gz Description: application/gunzip typos-cgen.diff.gz Description: application/gunzip typos-gas.diff.gz Description: application/gunzip typos-gdb-doc.diff.gz Description: application/gunzip typos-gprof.diff.gz Description: application/gunzip typos-ld.diff.gz Description: application/gunzip typos-libgloss.diff.gz Description: application/gunzip typos-libiberty.diff.gz Description: application/gunzip ___ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
[Bug gas/2895] Looking for gasp
--- Additional Comments From ian at airs dot com 2006-07-10 20:29 --- gas does provide some looping constructs, namely .irp and .irpc. Plus of course macros can invoke themselves recursively. Every feature of gasp is now available in gas, one way or another, although the syntax is not identical. No, gasp is not coming back.
