Compile errors with Assembler messages

Question

I'm working with Point Cloud Library. It's mostly in C++ When I compile it, gives such error:

Could anyone tell me how to read these errors and give me some suggestions to solve?

Answer 1

There are error message from assembler, which means assembler doesn't know these assembly code, for example vfmadd312ss.

This happens when compiler generate some CPU only assembly code, for example intel E5 with arch core-avx2 have extra instruction set advanced vector extensions, but if "as" is tool old to know the new CPUs, this error would happen.

Try a new version Binutils, the latest is 2.29 now.

If you compile code from another tool, for example bazel, make sure it will call the new "as".
