Equivalent of --keep-locals for LLVM

Is there any way to keep local assembly symbols using the Clang/LLVM assembler. The GNU one supports a --keep-locals (or -L) flag, but the LLVM one does not seem to have this option.

Solution

  • clang may not support the --keep-locals long option, but does accept the -L short option. Remember that all assembler options must be prefixed with -Wa,, so the complete option becomes -Wa,-L.

    If you are invoking the assembler directly (clang -cc1as), then the option is called -msave-temp-labels.
