[LLVMdev] ARM assembler's syntax in clang

Hi, all. The previous post have a typo:

problem in ARM assembly: I use LDR to load an external symbol :

LDR         R7,=DataTable

But clang gives error: unexpected token in operand to the '=',
Then I change the code to:

LDR         R7,DataTable

The error becomes: unsupported relocation on symbol. How can I get around
this in clang? My problem is actually how to load external symbol in
Clang's integrated-as? I've tried to learn some trivial c code's assembly
output, but find there are many linker related symbol and really confusing.

Thanks in advance!
