Subject: [PATCH] Add asm-compat.h to x86
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 10:55:23 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071030145523.GA28026@Krystal> (raw)
Add asm-compat.h to x86
In assembly code and in gcc inline assembly, we need .long to express a "c long"
type on i386 and a .quad to express the same on x86_64. Use macros similar to
powerpc "PPC_LONG" to express those. Name chosen: ASM_LONG. (didn't feel like
X86_LONG was required).
This is useful in inline assembly within code shared between 32 and 64
bits architectures in x86.
More compatible assembly macros could be added in this header later when
needed.
I had to create this to implement a merged optimized immediate values
header for x86.
