Binutils lets you switch between Intel and AT&T syntax assembly in the middle
of a program, using ".intex_syntax noprefix" and ".att_syntax". Even worse, it
turns out that this is a popular thing to do:

I don't think we have an intel syntax parser yet, in which case supporting this
will require writing one.

It doesn't hurt to have a tracking bug for this, but as you mention the prerequisite step is to implement intel syntax for llvm-mc first. If we were going to do it, I'd advocate for NASM flavor, since it is frequently used on the windows side of the world. I don't know of anyone planning to work on this though.

Hi Nick, I'm pretty sure we support this now. Can you verify? Clang still doesn't support "code warrior / microsoft - style inline assembly", but that's separate from mc-level support.

Verified!
