Hi, I have a question about the -Xassembler option. I was testing and ran across some inconsistency between the -Xassembler option and the -Wa option. I was wondering if I am using an option incorrectly or if there is indeed something wrong. I call gcc on a .s file and I pass -v option to get the version of the assembler... 1st time, call gcc -Xassembler -v file ....expect assembler version 2nd time, call gcc -Wa,-v file ....expect assembler version 3rd time, call gcc -v file ....expect compiler commands and version The results show that 1st and 3rd results are nearly the same, while 2nd result gives me just the assembler version. It seems like -Xassembler is not just restricted to assembler options. Is this expected ? Shafi
