|
<p><a name="index-error-messages-40"></a><a name="index-warning-messages-41"></a><a name="index-messages-from-assembler-42"></a><samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> may write warnings and error messages to the standard error
|
|
file (usually your terminal). This should not happen when a compiler
|
|
runs <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> automatically. Warnings report an assumption made so
|
|
that <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> could keep assembling a flawed program; errors report a
|
|
grave problem that stops the assembly.
|
|
|
|
<!-- man end -->
|
|
<p><a name="index-format-of-warning-messages-43"></a>Warning messages have the format
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> file_name:<b>NNN</b>:Warning Message Text
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p class="noindent"><a name="index-file-names-and-line-numbers_002c-in-warnings_002ferrors-44"></a>(where <b>NNN</b> is a line number). If both a logical file name
|
|
(see <a href="File.html#File"><code>.file</code></a>) and a logical line number
|
|
(see <a href="Line.html#Line"><code>.line</code></a>)
|
|
have been given then they will be used, otherwise the file name and line number
|
|
in the current assembler source file will be used. The message text is
|
|
intended to be self explanatory (in the grand Unix tradition).
|
|
|
|
<p>Note the file name must be set via the logical version of the <code>.file</code>
|
|
directive, not the DWARF2 version of the <code>.file</code> directive. For example:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> .file 2 "bar.c"
|
|
error_assembler_source
|
|
.file "foo.c"
|
|
.line 30
|
|
error_c_source
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>produces this output:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> Assembler messages:
|
|
asm.s:2: Error: no such instruction: `error_assembler_source'
|
|
foo.c:31: Error: no such instruction: `error_c_source'
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p><a name="index-format-of-error-messages-45"></a>Error messages have the format
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> file_name:<b>NNN</b>:FATAL:Error Message Text
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>The file name and line number are derived as for warning
|
|
messages. The actual message text may be rather less explanatory
|
|
because many of them aren't supposed to happen.
