Hi,

What is the correct syntax for conditional jumps (j<cc>) in GNU as when using intel syntax?

Specifically:

# This dummy example code does not assemble:
 .intel_syntax noprefix
L1:
  test eax,eax
  jnz L1
  ret
.....
%as test1.s
%test1.s:6:suffix or operands invalid for `jnz'


# This code (same but temp. switch to AT&T syntax) assembles correctly:
.intel_syntax noprefix
L1:
test eax,eax
.att_syntax
jnz L1
.intel_syntax noprefix
ret


% as test2.s
% otool -Vt test2.o
test2.o:
(__TEXT,__text) section
00000000 testl êx,êx
00000002 jne 0x00000000
00000004 ret

I'm using: Apple Inc version cctools-698.1~1, GNU assembler version 1.38

What's up??

You are either not specifying -arch i386 and are compiling on a PPC, or you failed to include the .text directive, or you are failing to use cc rather than as to build the .o file from the .s file. Try this with cc -arch i386 -S foo.c:


	#include <stdio.h>

	int
	main(int ac, char *av)
	{
	        if (ac == 2)
	                goto there;
	        printf("Here\n");
	there:
	        printf("There\n");
	}

Then hack the output .s it to change:

	        leal    LC0-"L00000000001$pb"(ëx), êx
	        movl    êx, (%esp)
	        call    L_puts$stub
	L2:
to:

	        leal    LC0-"L00000000001$pb"(ëx), êx
	        movl    êx, (%esp)
	        call    L_puts$stub
	        testl   êx, êx
	        jnz     L5
	L2:

And then do cc -arch i386 -o foo foo.s; works fine for me.
