Re: [SH]: prepending $ to register names


Hi Khem,

I have a question regrading SH assembly. Is it required to have '$' prepended to register names?.

At the moment: "No".


There was some discussion about it in the following URL.
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=5348&max_rows=25&style=nested&viewmonth=200011 but the patch posted there is not applied in binutils

I would be prepared to accept a variant of that patch whereby requiring a "$" register prefix was controlled by a GAS command line switch, (which defaults to off). That way the current behaviour can be preserved, but the more useful behaviour (of requiring the prefix) can be enabled if the user so desires.


Cheers
  Nick
