[llvm-dev] Error compiling newlib for ARM with the integrated assembler (original) (raw)

I'm working on compiling newlib with LLVM. The target that I'm using is arm-none-eabi. I'm running into an error with compiling strlen (newlib/libc/machine/arm/strlen.S).

strlen.s:4:19: error: invalid operand for instruction ldrb.w r2, [r3], #1

The test case looks like this (reduced):

.arch armv7 .thumb .syntax unified ldrb.w r2, [r3], #1

This assembles fine, if I remove the width modifier (.w) from the ldrb instruction. It also accepts ldrb.n without a problem. Given that this instruction should default to a width of 32 bits, is there any reason why we can't accept the .w modifier? If such a change is acceptable, I will prepare a patch. Any pointers to where such a patch should be implemented, would also be appreciated.

Thanks, Catherine
