(1) I’m getting CMake assembler errors such as:
(2) Question: What can I do within the CMake file to correct these errors? My assembly code (in file testing.s) looks something like the following code. I’ve removed a lot of it and am trying to be concise.
#define _ASMLANGUAGE
#include “vxWorks.h”
#include <ash.h>
FUNC_EXPORT(testing)
.text
.align 2
.long 0
.long 1
.globl testing
FUNC_BEGIN(testing)
li r3, 1
ori r4, r4, 0x6789
srw r4, r4, r5
FUNC_END(testing)
(3) My CMakeLists.txt looks something like:
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.6)
project(testing LANGUAGES CXX ASM)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS “${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -Wall -g -std=c++0x -Wextra -Wpedantic”)
set(dir3 …/…/…/util/dir3)
add_executable(testing
${dir3}/one.cpp
${dir3}/testing.s
)
(4) File one.cpp looks something like —
extern “C” int testing(void); //… testing(); //…
You've got the code - so you need to establish what is the correct assembler for it.

This has nothing to do with whether the code works or not - this is about having the correct tools to build it with!
Can they not tell you how it was built in the past?
It's all going to work out.
Thanks,
Hi Mike,
That's x86 assembly not Arm or AArch64 so GCC for any Arm tooling won't accept it.
You will need to get yourself an x86 toolchain.
Thank you for the information, you are correct.
Someone else gave me useful information.
I was given the following two links:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Extended-Asm.html
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/199966/how-do-you-use-gcc-to-generate-assembly-code-in-intel-syntax
So, I have to convert nonsense code similar to the following code from the "intel" dialect to the "att" dialect.
add r4, r4, r3
subi r3, r3, 2
cmplw r4, r5
bne GOIT
GOIT:
Question: Do you see any problems in converting these instructions to the "att" dialect?

So if it's not ARM, and you know it, why are you posting in the ARM forum?
