[llvm-dev] X86 assembler cannot jump NEAR?

[Jun Koi via llvm-dev]

Hi,

Currently X86 assembler seems to always compile "jmp _label" as a SHORT
jump with "EB" opcode:

$ echo "jmp _label"|llvm-mc -assemble -triple=i386 -show-encoding
    .text
    jmp    _label                  # encoding: [0xeb,A]


My question is: can X86 assembler supports NEAR jump with opcode "E9"?
I try with "near" keyword, but it is not accepted:

$ echo "jmp near _label"|llvm-mc -assemble -triple=i386 -show-encoding
    .text
<stdin>:1:10: error: unexpected token in argument list
jmp near _label
         ^


Thanks,
Jun
