Subject: [PowerPC] Avoid using '$' in generated assembler code
X-Git-Url: http://plrg.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fcdfd5a7ffa2557753038fcbf421dd518e3fda98;p=oota-llvm.git

[PowerPC] Avoid using '$' in generated assembler code

PowerPC assemblers are supposed to support a stand-alone '$' symbol
as an alternative of '.' to refer to the current PC.  This does not
work in the LLVM assembler parser yet.

To avoid bootstrap failures when using the LLVM assembler as system
assembler, this patch modifies the assembler source code generated
by LLVM to avoid using '$' (and simply use '.' instead).
