[LLVMdev] x86 Intel Syntax and MASM 9.x

[Gaster, Benedict]

Hi Anton,

Indeed your work around of rounding up to supported alignment is what I
have implemented but it was not clear to me that this should be
submitted back. As you point out as there are many other FIXMEs with the
X86IntelAsmPrinter maybe this is the "fix" for now.

Regards,

Ben

That's correct. MASM is too weak to represent even slightly non-trivial
program. In your particular case - LLVM IR can set up any alignment it
want. Also note the FIXME's in the X86IntelAsmPrinter.cpp wrt the
alignment. 

You might try to round up the alignment to the highest allowed value,
but this might be an overkill...
