[MC] Allowing the use of $-prefixed integer as asm identifiers
ClosedPublic

Authored by pratlucas on Feb 25 2020, 5:09 AM.

Details

Summary

Dollar signed prefixed integers were not allowed by the AsmParser to be
used as Identifiers, differing from the GNU assembler behavior.

This patch updates the parsing of Identifiers to consider such cases as
valid, where the identifier string includes the $ prefix itself. As the
Lexer currently splits these occurrences into separate tokens, those
need to be combined by the AsmParser itself.

I'd prefer to write out the new logic at the location of the relevant caller, instead. (Anything can call getString().)

String? I don't think we want to allow $"foo".

Actually I think this one is still fine?

I believe this one is still fine, as it references the identifier being parsed and not the actual token.
