I just didn't realize the assembler was outsmarting me. I assumed the shift had to be explicitly listed in the assembly code. Now that I look, I don't see any way to explicitly specify the shift. I had thought the immediate argument could be 12 bits, so I was surprised when one 12 bit value worked, but another didn't. When I reread the ARM documentation, and I saw that the operand was limited to 8 bits, I was more confused. Thanks for helping un-confuse me. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
