xt per each word, with \ replaced with corresponding word. Again, what happens depends on whether gas_ident.x is treated as one or as two tokens; in the former case we'll get old_gas incremented once, in the latter - twice. The rest is obvious. Unlike .macro argument list _anything_ is explicitly allowed after .irp ; here we are on very safe ground. And yes, it does work with all gas variants I've got here (including vanilla 2.15, 2.16, 2.16.1 and 2.17, plus debian and FC binutils).
