#10667: '-g' option generates invalid assembly when '*/*' operator is used -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: slyfox | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2-rc2 (CodeGen) | Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Compile-time | Unknown/Multiple crash | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by scpmw): Well spotted - should have seen that one coming. Here's what the GNU assembler documentation says: The line comment character is target specific, and some targets multiple comment characters. Some targets also have line comment characters that only work if they are the first character on a line. Some targets use a sequence of two characters to introduce a line comment. Some targets can also change their line comment characters depending upon command line options that have been used. According to the same documentation, the line comment character for x86 is apparently `#`, while it's `@` for ARM. So possible, but a bit messy. I think the better course of action here would be to just "escape" the name - or maybe just drop the comment in the first place if the name looks problematic. It's not really that useful anyway. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10667#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
