Warning Messages
the operand. The new assembler will
also accept these poorly formed
operands and also add the trailing
(%r0) to the operand, but it
additionally flags this as a potential
problem by issuing this warning.
ACTION Add a trailing (%r0) to the operand or
otherwise correct the poorly formed
operand.
41 MESSAGE A register typed operand is
expected here - %s
CAUSE The old assembler would accept
integers between 0 and 31 as valid
registers, or alternatively accept
names that were defined using a
.EQU to an integer. The new
assembler performs additional type
checks on the operands and wants to
see either a predefined register
(starting with a %) or a register name
that was previously defined by the
.REG directive. The file
/usr/lib/pcc_prefix.s is
typically included when the
assembler is invoked through cc(1)
and this file defines many register
names that are typically used in
assembly programs.
ACTION Inspect the source file and replace the
integer with the appropriate
predefined register, or for a name,
find and replace the .EQU directive
with a correct .REG directive.
Alternatively the w41 command-line
option may be used to suppress all
occurrences of this warning message.
Note that future versions of the
assembler may require proper
register typing of operands in order
