next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
The assembler currently doesn't pay attention to section_alignment
when writing the object file. As a result it is not possible to
follow the Intel recommendation of aligning 32 byte or greater objects
on a 32 byte boundary (since the beginning of the section isn't
guaranteed to be aligned correctly).
1) Any time frame on upgrading the assembler to something more current?
2) Any hidden dependences in the rest of the OS which prevents defining
SUB_SEGMENT_ALIGN as 5?
