https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12635 Issue ID: 12635 Summary: Accepts Invalid Segment Prefix on Branch Instruction Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86 URL: http://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/3483 OS: All Status: NEW Keywords: accepts-invalid, diagnostic, iasm, pull, wrong-code Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: DMD Assignee: blah38621 gmail.com Reporter: blah38621 gmail.com Currently it's possible to explicitly specify the base segment of a label in inline asm, however the use of segment prefixes on branch instructions is reserved according to the intel manual. In fact, the DS and CS segment prefixes actually represent the hint taken and hint not taken prefixes for branching operations.This is an issue for both x86 & x86_64, but I can't set both in the hardware field. I noticed this bug when I went to allow labels as operands to inline assembly operations. I also included the fix for this issue in that PR, as I would really like to see it merged, to solve a current limitation of the inline assembly that makes code trying to use a jump table an absurd mess. The fix in the PR is to add an error explicitly for setting a non-default segment for a branching instruction. --
