            Bug ID: 19499
           Summary: as ignores .file directives when generating error
                    messages
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gas
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: ruperts at broadcom dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

The documentation at
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Errors.html says:

  If a logical file name has been given (see .file) it is used for the
  filename, otherwise the name of the current input file is used. If a
  logical line number was given (see .line) then it is used to
  calculate the number printed, otherwise the actual line in the
  current source file is printed.

However, consider this transcript:

  ~ $ as --version

  This assembler was configured for a target of `x86_64-linux-gnu'.
  ~ $ cat test.s
  .file 1 "test.c"
          some_nonsense_insn 1 2 3
  ~ $ as test.s -o test.o
  test.s: Assembler messages:
  test.s:2: Error: no such instruction: `some_nonsense_insn 1 2 3'

I would expect the last two lines to begin with "test.c" rather than
"test.s".
