[PATCH] D94282: [PowerPC] Support ppc-asm-full-reg-names for AIX

[Nemanja Ivanovic via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

nemanjai added a comment.

Historically, the letter prefixes were always stripped out because AIX and Linux assemblers don't accept them. The mentioned patch added the ability to produce prefixes with percent sign and letter which is actually accepted by the Linux assembler (GNU as). It was thought (not known) at the time that AIX does not accept this `%<letter>` syntax either so the guard for AIX was kept. If you can confirm that the AIX system assembler accepts this syntax, then this is fine.

I suppose it is fine either way since we never took the extra step of making `-ppc-reg-with-percent-prefix` the default, but if we do choose to make that the default at some point, we can only do so if the AIX assembler also supports it.
