> > Do you know exactly when plain "ASSERT()" starts working and doesn't > require the ". = " part? I have digged a little. The original bug report is here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kbuild&m=124930110427870&w=2 Here Jean report that is fails with binutils 2.14, and Documentation/Changes list 2.12 as the minimum required version. The bug will only manifest itself with a "plain" ASSERT. So ASSERT placed inside: SECTIONS { .text TEXTSTART: { } ASSERT(bla bla, bla); } Will to my best understanding not trigger the bug. x86 has a similar assert in line 186. I did not test it - getting late here. Will try to go through the .S files tomorrow to check if I can find additional places where we can save a few bytes. And I may try to implment the above too.
