What gcc objects to is stuff like: "This is a nice long string that just goes on and on\n" which is illegal in C AFAIU. It does not object to: "This long string" "spans several lines, " "but legally.\n" The first form does/did appear in several asm()s. Fix them, send a patch. -- Horst von Brand vonbrand@sleipnir.valparaiso.cl Casilla 9G, Vin~a del Mar, Chile +56 32 672616
