Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ]

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.

This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.

Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

Changes since v2:
* Fix credits. I can't believe I worked with one of my colleagues
for a full week on this issue, and credited another one :( Working
too much I suppose...
