RE: different results on using intel syntax and at&t syntax

[nix noob <nixnoob1618 at yahoo dot com>]

Dave Korn,

thanks for replying when i posted this i had access
two as(1) one was version 2.13 (redhat) other was
2.14.... (SuseLinux-9.0 i586 last official as it
seemed no update was avl to that )

i tried searching through diffs between 2.14 and 2.16
in binutils but i could not find any refs to this
problem fixed some where 
in those diffs 

but in the mean time i asked some one with 2.16 to
test this code 
and it seems 2.16 behaves quiet correctly as would be
expected 
may be it was fixed some times between 2.14 and 2.16 

anyway thanks for replying 
after i saw your as -ahls in your reply i copy pasted
that to blah
and ran that file on those two assembler 


here is a listing on those two as version

see 3b050180 :) 

i couldn't find in those binutils changelog diffs 
when
this behaviour was changed 
since it seems fixed in latest version i think i have
to upgrade 
ill ask for getting it updated 
sorry for the annoyance 

thanks and regards
nix noob
