Anyway, my reason is a compiler emitting asm (Intel syntax), I'd planned to use gas a back-end. It needs to able to address labels at any arbitrary position in the source, therefore the 1b/1f isn't good enough. Though I cannot find any specific reference in the docs concering use of "j<cc>" instructions when using intel syntax ,this is starting to look like a bug in gas itself. I'll give a shot at the binutils mailing list. Thanks anyway. Luigi --- On Tue, 9/16/08, Terry Lambert <tlambert@apple.com> wrote:

Change it to this:

1: L5: popl %ebx cmpl $2, 8(%ebp) je L2 leal LC0-"L00000000001$pb"(%ebx), %eax movl %eax, (%esp) call L_puts$stub .intel_syntax noprefix test %eax, %eax jnz 1b .att_syntax

But that's using the AT&T syntax. That has always worked fine for me too, it's only when you switch to Intel syntax that you get problems.

If I chnage your example to use Intel syntax (even limited to that small bit of code), it doesn't work anymore:

This assembles (and links) correctly: testl %eax,%eax jnz L5

This will fail: .intel_syntax noprefix test eax,eax jnz L5 .att_syntax

foo.s:28:suffix or operands invalid for `jnz'

So, is this a bug in gas? Or must I prepend/append something "L5" when using Intel syntax? (which would seem to contradict the "noprefix" option!)

Note: I'm on an intel Mac and both -arch i386 and -arch x86_64 give the same result.
