[llvm-commits] [PATCH][RFC] Disable data region directives

[Joe Abbey]

I'm not sure if other assemblers are affected by this... but Apple cctools-807~393 (Xcode 4.4.1) chokes on .data_region pseudo-ops.  Xcode 4.5.2 doesn't seem to have any problems with it.

I propose the following patch to disable data region directive generation:

  -disable-data-region-directives         - Disable data region directives which older assemblers reject

Looking back to r157062 I see that this should only affect introspection of object files and fully-linked binaries.  However if there are any other side-effects please let me know.

Ok to commit?

Joe
