* Add `.pushsection', `.popsection', and `.previous' directives to Darwin ASM.Bill Wendling2012-08-08
There are situations where inline ASM may want to change the section -- for instance, to create a variable in the .data section. However, it cannot do this without (potentially) restoring to the wrong section. E.g.: asm volatile (".section __DATA, __data\n\t" ".globl _fnord\n\t" "_fnord: .quad 1f\n\t" ".text\n\t" "1:" :::); This may be wrong if this is inlined into a function that has a "section" attribute. The user should use `.pushsection' and `.popsection' here instead. The addition of `.previous' is added for completeness. <rdar://problem/12048387> git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@161477 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
