Error description

  • When compiling with -qfuncsect and -S to generate an assembly
    file and then assemble the output to produce an object file with
    XL C/C++ for AIX, V11.1, the system assembler emits error
    messages for the unrecognized syntax.
    
    
    $cat fc.C
    
    struct A {
     ~A();
    };
    
    void g();
    void foo() {
     A a;
     g();
    }
    
    
    $xlC -S -qfuncsect fc.C
    $xlC -c fc.s
    
    
    Assembler:
    fc.s: line 61: 1252-142 Syntax error.
    fc.s: line 86: 1252-142 Syntax error.
    fc.s: line 86: 1252-044 The specified source character 0x40 does
    not have

    fc.s: line 86: 1252-142 Syntax error.
    fc.s: line 87: 1252-142 Syntax error.
    fc.s: line 87: 1252-044 The specified source character 0x40 does

Local fix

  • Use -qxflag=ntocrel:
    
    >xlC -S -qfuncsect -qxflag=ntocrel fc.C
    >xlC -c fc.s
