Possible dup of https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12240 This is how MSVC handles such names: (https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/TonjYaxqj) ``` static int* volatile rip; static unsigned int volatile eax; int get_value(void) { return rip[eax]; } ``` MSVC outputs: ``` get_value PROC ; COMDAT mov ecx, DWORD PTR eax mov rax, QWORD PTR rip mov eax, DWORD PTR [rax+rcx*4] ret 0 get_value ENDP ``` GCC outputs: ``` get_value: mov rdx, QWORD PTR rip[rip] mov eax, DWORD PTR eax[rip] mov eax, DWORD PTR [rdx+rax*4] ret ``` In the case of MSVC, `DWORD PTR eax` is unambiguously parsed as the label `eax` and `DWORD PTR [eax]` is unambiguously parsed as the register `eax`. The address of all labels are always relative to RIP, but it is implied, and brackets are not written explicitly.
I'm gonna file another report to GCC for removal of the explicit RIP and bracket.
