|
|
If you are not sure whether you have found a bug, here are some guidelines:
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="index-fatal-signal-2729"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-assembler-crash-2730"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-crash-of-assembler-2731"></a>
|
|
<ul><li>If the assembler gets a fatal signal, for any input whatever, that is a
|
|
<samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> bug. Reliable assemblers never crash.
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="index-error-on-valid-input-2732"></a><li>If <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> produces an error message for valid input, that is a bug.
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="index-invalid-input-2733"></a><li>If <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> does not produce an error message for invalid input, that
|
|
is a bug. However, you should note that your idea of “invalid input” might
|
|
be our idea of “an extension” or “support for traditional practice”.
|
|
|
|
<li>If you are an experienced user of assemblers, your suggestions for improvement
|
|
of <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> are welcome in any case.
