How do you relocate a 16bit pointer ? Do you use the ``addr32´´ macro ?
Example:
addr32 movw $0f, %si0:
No I don't.
ELF doesn't support 16-bit relocations, how do you solve this?
It does support. It even supports 8-bit relocations (for jcxz, etc.). If you have old, buggy binutils please upgrade.
And I have run into another problem with the GNU assembler. If you for example do the following:
lodsw %cs:(%si), %axIt generates the following code:
lodsw %ds:(%si), %axYou have to make the %cs prefix of your own in the code, by adding a ``.byte 0x2e´´ infront of the instruction. Have you also run into this problem
I haven't used the particular prefix and opcode combination. But please upgrade before you start to complain.
The latest stable binutils release seems to be 2.9.1.0.25. You may also get the current development snapshot or access the CVS tree of binutils 2.9.4 at http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ (which is what I am currently using).
If you still find any of these problems in binutils 2.9.4 then please report it to binutils people. See address above for how to do it.
