From 54691107334ee13f3237e0f754d458c52d5b145e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Preud'homme Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2018 09:51:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Clarify doc for .arch/.cpu Documentation for .arch and .cpu directives currently says that it accepts the same name as -march/-mcpu command-line options respectively. However it only accept the architecture/CPU part of those options: it does not accept specifying an extension which is done via .arch_extension. This patch clarifies that the extension is not accepted. 2018-07-25 Thomas Preud'homme gas/ * doc/c-arm.texi (.arch directive): Clarify that name must not include an extension.
