Commit 6c0665e22174d474050e85ca367424f6e02476be (https://reviews.llvm.org/D45164) enabled certain constant expression evaluation for `MCObjectStreamer` at parse time (e.g. `.if` directives, see llvm/test/MC/AsmParser/assembler-expressions.s). `getUseAssemblerInfoForParsing` was added to make `clang -c` handling inline assembly similar to `MCAsmStreamer` (e.g. `llvm-mc -filetype=asm`), where such expression folding (related to `AttemptToFoldSymbolOffsetDifference`) is unavailable. I believe this is overly conservative. We can make some parse-time expression folding work for `clang -c` even if `clang -S` would still report an error, a MCAsmStreamer issue (we cannot print `.if` directives) that should not restrict the functionality of MCObjectStreamer. ``` % cat b.cc asm(R"( .pushsection .text,"ax" .globl _start; _start: ret .if . -_start == 1 ret .endif .popsection )"); % gcc -S b.cc && gcc -c b.cc % clang -S -fno-integrated-as b.cc # succeeded % clang -c b.cc # succeeded with this patch % clang -S b.cc # still failed <inline asm>:4:5: error: expected absolute expression 4 | .if . -_start == 1 | ^ 1 error generated. ``` Close #62520 Link: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-clang-assembly-object-equivalence-for-files-with-inline-assembly/78841 Pull Request: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/91082
