...> generators etc.  Why add all this new stuff if an existing feature will do? Build attributes are not asm specific, and implementing them in an asm specific keyword seems kludge to me. Not to mention that you lock the IR in a ARM-GNU-ASM specific mode, which is a dead-end. Also, passing ".build_attribute" strings in IR if you're producing ELF doesn't make sense, IMO. In a global array, the indexes are represented directly, only leaving the associated string if additional information is necessary (like CPU name, which is already a string). cheers, --renato

It is hard for me to comment because I don't know anything about these attributes. However, presumably they need to end up in the .s file. I'm pointing out that you can put anything you like into the assembl...
