RE: [arm-gnu] Assembler misaligned branch destination Error in ARM GCC 3.4+CS2005q3/Glibc toolchain

[<shafaq.abdullah@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
 Yes I am using the compiler provided with tool chain. I could get rid
of the error: "misaligned branch 
destination" after renaming the labels in atomicbase.h file. The
assmebler was taking those errors as absolute addresses:
The portion of code from atomicbase.h is given here:
@@ -1393,7 +1393,7 @@
 "        mov   %0, #0x80000000;\n"      /* Set ulRet to 0x80000000
*/
 "1:      swp   %0, %0, [%1];\n"         /* Swap *pNum and ulRet
*/
 "        cmp   %0, #0x80000000;\n"      /* Is someone else using pNum?
*/
-"        beq   1;\n"                    /* If so, retry...
*/
+"        beq   1b;\n"                 /* If so, retry...             */
 "        add   %0, %0, #1;\n"           /* Increment ulRet
*/
 "        cmp   %0, #0x80000000;\n"      /* check for overflow
*/
 "        addeq %0, %0, #1;\n"         /* if so, increment again      */

Br,
Abdullah
