<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Perhaps I misunderstood your description. When you said you wanted Clang to "use my target CPU's assembler instead of my host's assembler" it sounded to me
like you already had some other (non-LLVM) assembler for your target CPU, and you wanted Clang to run that (non-LLVM) assembler. What I said previously was guided by that interpretation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">But, perhaps you meant that you are seeing Clang taking the code you generate for your target, and then trying to assemble it as if it were code generated for
your host. That sounds like you have not implemented all the necessary pieces of Target and MC to turn the generated code into an object file for your target.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Let's try this: If you run `clang –S –target your_triple test.c` (where your_triple is the triple for your target) does it produce an assembler file (test.s)
that has the proper instructions for your target? If not, then you have some work to do to make that happen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Once your assembler file looks good, if you run `clang –c –target your_triple test.s` what happens?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

of trying to generate the object file itself. If you can't arrange for your target's assembler to be in the right place and named `as` then you have two choices: (1) have Clang emit assembler source with the `-S` option and run the correct assembler directly;
(2) support your target more thoroughly in Clang's 'Driver' component, so that Clang knows what to do when you specify `-fno-integrated-as`.</span></a><o:p></o:p></p>
