Bug ID: 33515 Summary: String literals are disassembled as code, no as data Product: binutils Version: 2.45 Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: binutils Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org Reporter: gjl at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- Host: x86_64 Target: x86_64,avr Created attachment 16401 --> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=16401&action=edit simple.c: A C test case A string literal like .LC0: .string "123" should be disassembled like data, not like code. Test case: $gcc simple.c -o a.x -nostdlib -nostartfiles -save-temps && objdump -d -j. rodata a.x prints: a.x: file format elf64-x86-64 Disassembly of section .rodata: 0000000000402000 <str-0x8>: 402000: 31 32 xor %esi,(%rdx) 402002: 33 00 xor (%rax),%eax 402004: 00 00 add %al,(%rax) ... 0000000000402008 <str>: 402008: 31 2c 20 32 2c 20 33 00 1, 2, 3. While str[] is nicely disassembled as a string, .LC0 isn't. Adding .type .LC0,"object" to the assembly doesn't help. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
