Moshe,

You're more than likely going to get a better response from

https://devforums.apple.com/community/tools/xcode

llvmdev is a mailing list for the LLVM project which is separate from Xcode development.

Cheers,

Hi,

I've got an assembly file which used to compile with previous clang versions. However with 4.2 I get the following error:

admin$ /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang -arch armv7 ./src/asm.s  -o asm.o
./src/asm.s:30:5: error: instruction requires a CPU feature not currently enabled
    add r2, pc, r2

According to ARM <http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0489c/Cihcjfjg.html> specification:
[http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.common/images/triangle_down.png]Use of PC and SP in Thumb instructions
In most of these instructions, you cannot use PC (R15) for Rd, or any operand.
The exceptions are:

 *
you can use PC for Rn in 32-bit Thumb ADD and SUB instructions, with a constant Operand2 value in the range 0-4095, and no S suffix. These instructions are useful for generating PC-relative addresses. Bit[1] of the PC value reads as 0 in this case, so that the base address for the calculation is always word-aligned.
 *
you can use PC in 16-bit Thumb ADD{cond} Rd, Rd, Rm instructions, where both registers cannot be PC.


I indeed specified that this line belongs to the Thumb function. But the clang still produces this error.

When I compile this file directly with "as" it compiles correctly.


Please help!
