.set not recognized in gas parser

[Sebastian D´Alessandro]

Hello,
   
  Today I started using the yasm assembler and I tried to assemble a TenDRA (ten15.org) output (GNU AS-compatible syntax) with the following source line in it:
   
      .set .Ldisp14, 1756
   
  Yasm complains:
   
      main.s:6: label or instruction expected at start of line
   
  I figured out that .set is not currently implemented in:
   
  file: modules/parsers/gas/gas-parse.c
  function: static yasm_bytecode *parse_line(yasm_parser_gas *parser_gas)
   
  To solve the problem I added a case DIR_EQU in switch(curtok) as follows:
  case DIR_EQU:
       /* ID ',' expr */
       get_next_token(); /* DIR_EQU */
     if (!expect(ID)) return NULL;
       id = ID_val;
     get_next_token(); /* ID */
     if (!expect(','))
     {
        yasm_xfree(id);
        return NULL;
     }
       get_next_token(); /* ',' */
     e = parse_expr(parser_gas);
     if (e)
        yasm_symtab_define_equ(p_symtab, id, e, cur_line);
     else
        yasm_error_set(YASM_ERROR_SYNTAX,
        N_("expression expected after `%s'"), ",");
     yasm_xfree(id);
     return NULL;
       /* end of code */
   
  In http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/manual/gas-2.9.1/html_mono/as.html#TOC47 I confirmed that .set is equivalent to give a symbol an arbitrary value, so the code above is similar to the one present in "case ID:" when after the ID there is a '=' token, even so, check it if you wish.
   
  Best regards, Sebastian D'Alessandro.
