CCS/TMS570LS1224: Assembler Issue (CCS 7.2)

Jerry,

According to the compiler documentation, __clz(int src) is a supported intrinsic and can be called from C/C++ code.

From the compiler TRM:

C/C++ Compiler Intrinsic	Assembly Instruction	Description
int count = _ _clz(int src);	CLZ count , src	Returns the count of leading zeros

i.e., there shouldn't be a need for the assembly function since it is already a compiler intrinsic.

Yes, I'm aware that CLZ is an intrinsic. I used that one just for example purposes. I deleted several hundred lines of assembly, which are not already intrinsics, so I do still need to know how to make an assembly file assemble without the "line 1: error #171: expected a declaration" error that I've been seeing.

You need to add the .arm declaration after the .text section declaration.

A snippet from an assembly file generated from HalCoGen shows the below:

    .text
    .arm

    .endasmfunc

the ARM assembly instructions can not start in the first column. They must be preceded by white space.
.text
.align 2
.syntax unified ----- it is not correct directive
.global Clz ------ please add white space before "." (QJ)

Hello Jerry,

Have you tried to add white space to the instructions?
