Hi folks,

I have a question regarding GAS and GCC. 
Does the GAS modify the Assembler Code? If I try to assemble (for example) the following line:

popl %esi 

the gas changes that to

pop %esi 

Ok I guess this is ok, because the ESI Register is 'only' 32 Bit. So movw (= mov) would be ok. 

Next example:

If I try to assemble

movl $0xb,%eax 

the gas changes that to

mov $0xb,%eax

How can I tell gas that I dont want him to optimize the code?

Best regards,
Martin

PS: Sry for my poor english.
