            Bug ID: 23956
           Summary: RISC-V 4-operand add doesn't check for %tprel_add
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.31
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gas
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: luismarques at lowrisc dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

In RISC-V assembly, there's a fictitious 4-operand ADD that's used to add a
TP-relative relocation. It's usually used like "add a0,a0,tp,%tprel_add(sym)",
but binutils allows a plain 0 as the 4th operand:

$ cat test.s
add a0, a0, tp, 0

$ riscv32-unknown-elf-as test.s 
$

Is this just loose error checking, or is it actually needed in some cases?
There's a patch for TLS support in LLVM that requires the presence of
%tprel_add in the 4-operand add. It's important, then, to clarify if the "add
a0,a0,tp,0" should be accepted or not.
