GHC-4.00 assembler crash
Hi, Compiling our interpreter module causes the assembler to crash ghc -c -H45M Inter.hs returns: /usr/ccs/bin/as: "/tmp/ghc22153.s", line 572: error: statement syntax /usr/ccs/bin/as: "/tmp/ghc22153.s", line 572: error: statement syntax /usr/ccs/bin/as: "/tmp/ghc22153.s", line 590: error: statement syntax /usr/ccs/bin/as: "/tmp/ghc22153.s", line 590: error: statement syntax These lines look like: (I used -S to get the assembler file) .word 0r<> Is this a valid assembler syntax?? If I delete "r<>" the assembler accepts the program. But is it still correct then?
