Intel asm question

[grndfl]

Hi
Can the Linux version of the Intel c++ compiler handle x86 assembly language through assembly file input(.s)? I've only managed it to accept files containing the AT&T equivalent source successfully. It seems strange that Intel's compiler doesn't support their own assembly language.

Do you mean that icc -use-msasm doesn't work for your case?
If you mean the assembler (gas), does .intel_syntax not work for you, with or without one of the prefix specifiers?
Bugs for icc would be submitted on premier.intel.com, for gas on binutils bugzilla.

Thanks for your answer Tim!
The -use-msasm option only works for inline assembly, right?
I want to assemble and link a pure assembly file (.s) with x86 styled coding, not the AT&T style used in GAS. I know there are free assemblers like NASM and stuff but I would really like to use the Intel Compiler. Is this possible, or does it only support AT&T styling together with GAS?

If you use .s source code, there is nothing special about the Intel compiler, it goes right through to the same assembler (normally gas). This is why I suggested the intel mnemonics setting for gnu as.

Yes, the -use-msasm switch only applies to inline assembly. A .s file is simply passed through to gas
