Sorry, I spoke too soon. This only happens for intel style inline assembly in LLVM IR. I don't have a good suggestion.

Why is it relevant that the issue is contained? The 0b support in MS asm shouldn’t break the general intel assembly syntax.

If I understand correctly, it flips the bit for "is parsing inline asm" to true when encountering a plain .intelsyntax directive. That's just wrong.

The following snippets fail: 1) .intelsyntax 0: jmp 0b 2) .intelsyntax and edi, 0b010101 when running through llvm-mc -arch x86-64. This regression was introduced in r301390, which was driven by PR27884. I think https://llvm.org/PR36144 <https://llvm.org/PR36144> describes this very well, and I think we should get this fixed, since it's a pretty basic thing to support in the assembler. Here are a few solutions to this: 1) Introduce a new asm dialect/flavor/style to assemble masm files. 2) Only set the flags based on the target triple. Also suggested in PR27884. 3) Only set the flags based on a new command line flag. Let me know if any other solution comes to mind. While we get this issue fixed, is it reasonable to revert r301390?
