Liming, After further evaluation on use of NASM with macho there are a couple issues that need to be resolved before the .asm and .S files can be removed from all components.
The details are at: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=881 NASM issues to be resolved are: https://bugzilla.nasm.us/show_bug.cgi?id=3392469 https://bugzilla.nasm.us/show_bug.cgi?id=3392470 The recommendation is to not switch to NASM only for libraries until the dead code stripping feature works as expected on macho. We can consider moving to NASM only for NASM files in a module if there are no NASM functions that would be dead stripped. The recommendation for these types of NASM files is do not use the following pragma until the NASM issues above are resolved. %pragma macho subsections_via_symbols Best regards, Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: edk2-devel [mailto:edk2-devel- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Gao, Liming > Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2018 3:06 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [edk2] [RFC] Remove X86 .asm and .S assembly > files in EDK2 > > Edk2 has used nasm assembly file for all tool chains. > So, IA32 and X64 .asm and .S assembly files can be > removed if their nasm files are ready.
