[PATCH] D80953: [AIX] asm output: use character literals in byte lists for strings

[David Tenty via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

daltenty added a comment.

I'm sure this may have been considered, but given that .byte also supports a limited string syntax (given with the limitation that it can support ), is there a reason we can't just glue consecutive runs of printable characters together?

e.g. `.byte   'h,'e,'l,'l,'o,' ,'w,'o,'r,'l,'d,'!,0012,0000` becomes:

  .byte   'hello world!'
  .byte 0012,0000

(Essentially mode shift between writing printable as a string and the comma seperated octal form, and just emitting a new `.byte` directive when we encounter the other type)
