[cfe-dev] Clang fails to compile the mix of intel/att assembly, and as a result BitcoinArmory — the major bitcoin client — also doesn't build

[Reid Kleckner]

It boils down to supporting this in a .s file:
.intel_syntax noprefix;mov QWORD PTR [r11], rax;.att_syntax prefix

This already works:
.intel_syntax noprefix
mov QWORD PTR [r11], rax
.att_syntax prefix

The problem is that the directives are lexing the semicolon character when
it's supposed to be a statement separator.

It should be both easy to work around in the source and easy to fix in
LLVM. Given the easy source workaround, this doesn't feel very high
priority.
