[LLVMdev] "masm syntax" for X86 backend

[Chris Lattner]

Is anyone using the -x86-asm-syntax=intel flag to llc or otherwise  
using the MASM .s file printing stuff in the X86 backend?  My  
understanding is that masm is really not very useful, and that the  
code doesn't really work.

Going forward, we'd like to be able to just emit a PECOFF file  
direction, and we will continue to support mingw, so windows plaform  
support really won't use this.

Is this true?  If so, I'd like to consider removing support for masm.   
We'd still be able to support mingw/gas on windows, and we'd still  
support gas-style intel assembly.  I'm only talking about masm  
directives etc.
