Building with clang & LLVM_IAS=1 leads to an error:

                         ^

The test creates an invalid instruction that would trap at runtime, but the
LLVM inline assembler tries to validate it at compile time too.

Use the raw instruction opcode instead.

Ilie, thanks for the patch!

So if I understand
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/s390-Directives.html#s390-Directives
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/s390-Formats.html
that `e,` prefix is for 16B opcodes?

e is an instruction format as specified by the architecture.
See http://publibfp.dhe.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/a227832c.pdf
without any parameters.
Normally RR would be the right thing for MVCL, but since
we try to build an invalid opcode without the assembler
noticing (ab)using e seem like a safer approach.


LGTM, thanks again.

added those and added my RB. applied to the s390 tree. Thanks



I triple checked that GAS, clang, and GNU objdump are in agreement in
terms of encoding here.
