[Bug gas/836] New: GAS ".set" pseudo op-code handling

[jp dot subhash at samsung dot com]

Hi,

I am using GNU assembler 2.15 (on WIN 2000)
I have few questions about ".set" pseudo op-code
Please check with following codes.

1)              
    .set tuv, 1
    .long tuv
    .set tuv, _undef+2
    .long tuv

In above case first .long evaluates to .long 1
But in second .long no relocation information is generated, _undef is droped.
Should GAS generate any relocation here? 

2) 
    .set tuv, _undef
    .set tuv, tuv+1
    .long tuv

For above code GAS showed "symbol definition loop encountered" error. But if
you change def of 'tuv' as,

    .set tuv, 1
    .set tuv, tuv+_undef
    .long tuv

Then no error is generated (but no relocation also).

Is that the absolute value gets the high priority? Please let me know 
how ".set" is processed. 

Thanks in advance
Best regards
Jay
