<p class="MsoNormal">Some Mips macros (e.g. la[1]) and the handling of Mips directives used for Position-Independent Programming (e.g. .cpload[2]) require access to Reloc::Model from within the Assembly Parser but there doesn’t seem to be a way to do it in
its current form. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 1) Reloc::Model is passed to MCObjectFileInfo but it’s a private member of that class<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 2) TargetMachine is not accessible<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I can also see that clang initializes MCObjectFileInfo with Reloc::Default which isn’t entirely right but that’s a different matter. I’ll come back to that later after we decide what’s the right approach to fix this issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any suggestions about the right way to expose the relocation model to the assembly parser ?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">[1] la – load address. Roughly speaking this macro expands to a GOT access if generating PIC or to an absolute access if not .<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">[2] .cpload – This directive sets up $gp (Global Pointer) if PIC or it can be ignored for the static model.<o:p></o:p></p>
