Hi Steve,

Thanks for the information. I know the symbol should be unique. Actually, I changed the symbol many time (very unique), but the compiler still complains the same thing. If I move the same code (such as a function) to another code file, then everything is fine. I am just confused...

If you make your code like mine, with numeric symbol names which are dynamically substituted with unique names, your problems will go away. L1 is *not* a unique name, if you look at the assembly output.

Hi,

Sometime I have a strange problem when I do jump in my assembly code (embedded in C), the compiler always complains "Error: symbol 'L1' is already defined". I changed the symbol, but it still complains the same problem. Is that the bug in mspgcc? Any solution to get around? Thanks!

"       mov #1000, r8   \n"
"L1:                            \n"
"       mov #1000, r9   \n"
......
"       jnz L1                \n"

Defining L1 creates a symbol in the assembly language code with a fixed name. If you do that more than once you will get an error tht the symbol is already defined. If you try something like the following that doesn't happen, as the actual names of the labels are generated dynamically (I just grabbed a suitable example from my own source code. This does an efficient Q1.15 multiply for machines with no hardware multiplier).
