Bug #: 51863
Summary: invlpg with -masm=intel generates memory operand size
error in assembly stage
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
Component: inline-asm
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: th020...@gmail.com
The expected behavior would be to generate code analogous to that of the
default -masm=att, which uses no size prefixes to address the memory operand of
invlpg.
The actual behavior is that -masm=intel causes GCC to emit code that uses a
size prefix (like dword, byte, etc.) which causes an error in GAS when the code
is assembled.
The command that generates the error is:
gcc -masm=intel main.c
The same command without -masm=intel works.
Output of "gcc -v"
Using built-in specs.

The system type is Linux Mint 12, but I've found the same bug in i686-elf for
GCC 4.6.2.
