Subject: gas: no md_cons_align() for .nop{,s}
X-Git-Tag: binutils-2_42~760
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=54fc4573887bfba8bd2ac0cb2eb9259e94ba178d;p=thirdparty%2Fbinutils-gdb.git

gas: no md_cons_align() for .nop{,s}

.nop and .nops generate code, not data. Hence them invoking
md_cons_align() is at best inappropriate. In fact it actually gets in
the of x86'es state maintenance involving i386_cons_align().
