<p>This manual is intended to describe what you need to know to use
<small>GNU</small> <code>as</code>. We cover the syntax expected in source files, including
notation for symbols, constants, and expressions; the directives that
<code>as</code> understands; and of course how to invoke <code>as</code>.
</p>
<p>This manual also describes some of the machine-dependent features of
various flavors of the assembler.
</p>
<a name="index-machine-instructions-_0028not-covered_0029"></a>
<p>On the other hand, this manual is <em>not</em> intended as an introduction
to programming in assembly language&mdash;let alone programming in general!
In a similar vein, we make no attempt to introduce the machine
architecture; we do <em>not</em> describe the instruction set, standard
mnemonics, registers or addressing modes that are standard to a
particular architecture.
You may want to consult the manufacturer&rsquo;s
machine architecture manual for this information.

<a name="The-GNU-Assembler"></a>
<h3 class="section">1.2 The GNU Assembler</h3>
<p><small>GNU</small> <code>as</code> is really a family of assemblers.
If you use (or have used) the <small>GNU</small> assembler on one architecture, you
should find a fairly similar environment when you use it on another
architecture. Each version has much in common with the others,
including object file formats, most assembler directives (often called
<em>pseudo-ops</em>) and assembler syntax.
</p>
<a name="index-purpose-of-GNU-assembler"></a>
<p><code>as</code> is primarily intended to assemble the output of the
<small>GNU</small> C compiler <code>gcc</code> for use by the linker
<code>ld</code>. Nevertheless, we&rsquo;ve tried to make <code>as</code>
assemble correctly everything that other assemblers for the same
machine would assemble.
Any exceptions are documented explicitly (see <a href="#Machine-Dependencies">Machine Dependencies</a>).
This doesn&rsquo;t mean <code>as</code> always uses the same syntax as another
assembler for the same architecture; for example, we know of several
incompatible versions of 680x0 assembly language syntax.
</p>
<p>Unlike older assemblers, <code>as</code> is designed to assemble a source
program in one pass of the source file. This has a subtle impact on the
<kbd>.org</kbd> directive (see <a href="#Org"><code>.org</code></a>).

<h3 class="section">1.3 Object File Formats</h3>
<a name="index-object-file-format"></a>
<p>The <small>GNU</small> assembler can be configured to produce several alternative
object file formats. For the most part, this does not affect how you
write assembly language programs; but directives for debugging symbols
are typically different in different file formats. See <a href="#Symbol-Attributes">Symbol Attributes</a>.

<h3 class="section">1.4 Command Line</h3>
<a name="index-command-line-conventions"></a>
<p>After the program name <code>as</code>, the command line may contain
options and file names. Options may appear in any order, and may be
before, after, or between file names. The order of file names is
significant.
</p>
<a name="index-standard-input_002c-as-input-file"></a>
<a name="index-_002d_002d"></a>
<p><samp>--</samp> (two hyphens) by itself names the standard input file
explicitly, as one of the files for <code>as</code> to assemble.
</p>
<a name="index-options_002c-command-line"></a>
<p>Except for &lsquo;<samp>--</samp>&rsquo; any command-line argument that begins with a
hyphen (&lsquo;<samp>-</samp>&rsquo;) is an option. Each option changes the behavior of
<code>as</code>. No option changes the way another option works. An
option is a &lsquo;<samp>-</samp>&rsquo; followed by one or more letters; the case of
the letter is important. All options are optional.
</p>
<p>Some options expect exactly one file name to follow them. The file
name may either immediately follow the option&rsquo;s letter (compatible
with older assemblers) or it may be the next command argument (<small>GNU</small>
standard). These two command lines are equivalent:

<a name="index-input"></a>
<a name="index-source-program"></a>
<a name="index-files_002c-input"></a>
<p>We use the phrase <em>source program</em>, abbreviated <em>source</em>, to
describe the program input to one run of <code>as</code>. The program may
be in one or more files; how the source is partitioned into files
doesn&rsquo;t change the meaning of the source.
</p>
<p>The source program is a concatenation of the text in all the files, in the
order specified.
</p>
<p>Each time you run <code>as</code> it assembles exactly one source
program. The source program is made up of one or more files.
(The standard input is also a file.)
</p>
<p>You give <code>as</code> a command line that has zero or more input file
names. The input files are read (from left file name to right). A
command-line argument (in any position) that has no special meaning
is taken to be an input file name.
</p>
<p>If you give <code>as</code> no file names it attempts to read one input file
from the <code>as</code> standard input, which is normally your terminal. You
may have to type <tt class="key">ctl-D</tt> to tell <code>as</code> there is no more program
to assemble.
</p>
<p>Use &lsquo;<samp>--</samp>&rsquo; if you need to explicitly name the standard input file
in your command line.
</p>
<p>If the source is empty, <code>as</code> produces a small, empty object
file.
</p>
<a name="Filenames-and-Line_002dnumbers"></a>
<h4 class="subheading">Filenames and Line-numbers</h4>
<a name="index-input-file-linenumbers"></a>
<a name="index-line-numbers_002c-in-input-files"></a>
<p>There are two ways of locating a line in the input file (or files) and
either may be used in reporting error messages. One way refers to a line
number in a physical file; the other refers to a line number in a
&ldquo;logical&rdquo; file. See <a href="#Errors">Error and Warning Messages</a>.
</p>
<p><em>Physical files</em> are those files named in the command line given
to <code>as</code>.
</p>
<p><em>Logical files</em> are simply names declared explicitly by assembler
directives; they bear no relation to physical files. Logical file names help
error messages reflect the original source file, when <code>as</code> source
is itself synthesized from other files. <code>as</code> understands the
&lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; directives emitted by the <code>gcc</code> preprocessor. See also
<a href="#File"><code>.file</code></a>.

<p>Every time you run <code>as</code> it produces an output file, which is
your assembly language program translated into numbers. This file
is the object file. Its default name is <code>a.out</code>.
You can give it another name by using the <samp>-o</samp> option. Conventionally,
object file names end with <samp>.o</samp>. The default name is used for historical
reasons: older assemblers were capable of assembling self-contained programs
directly into a runnable program. (For some formats, this isn&rsquo;t currently
possible, but it can be done for the <code>a.out</code> format.)
</p>
<a name="index-linker"></a>
<a name="index-ld"></a>
<p>The object file is meant for input to the linker <code>ld</code>. It contains
assembled program code, information to help <code>ld</code> integrate
the assembled program into a runnable file, and (optionally) symbolic
information for the debugger.

<p><code>as</code> may write warnings and error messages to the standard error
file (usually your terminal). This should not happen when a compiler
runs <code>as</code> automatically. Warnings report an assumption made so
that <code>as</code> could keep assembling a flawed program; errors report a
grave problem that stops the assembly.
</p>
<a name="index-format-of-warning-messages"></a>
<p>Warning messages have the format
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">file_name:<b>NNN</b>:Warning Message Text
</pre></div>
<a name="index-file-names-and-line-numbers_002c-in-warnings_002ferrors"></a>
<p>(where <b>NNN</b> is a line number). If both a logical file name
(see <a href="#File"><code>.file</code></a>) and a logical line number
(see <a href="#Line"><code>.line</code></a>)
have been given then they will be used, otherwise the file name and line number
in the current assembler source file will be used. The message text is
intended to be self explanatory (in the grand Unix tradition).
</p>
<p>Note the file name must be set via the logical version of the <code>.file</code>
directive, not the DWARF2 version of the <code>.file</code> directive. For example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .file 2 &quot;bar.c&quot;
error_assembler_source
.file &quot;foo.c&quot;
.line 30
error_c_source
</pre></div>
<p>produces this output:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> Assembler messages:
asm.s:2: Error: no such instruction: `error_assembler_source'
foo.c:31: Error: no such instruction: `error_c_source'
</pre></div>
<a name="index-format-of-error-messages"></a>
<p>Error messages have the format
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">file_name:<b>NNN</b>:FATAL:Error Message Text
</pre></div>
<p>The file name and line number are derived as for warning
messages. The actual message text may be rather less explanatory
because many of them aren&rsquo;t supposed to happen.

<h2 class="chapter">2 Command-Line Options</h2>
<a name="index-options_002c-all-versions-of-assembler"></a>
<p>This chapter describes command-line options available in <em>all</em>
versions of the <small>GNU</small> assembler; see <a href="#Machine-Dependencies">Machine Dependencies</a>,
for options specific
to particular machine architectures.
</p>
<p>If you are invoking <code>as</code> via the <small>GNU</small> C compiler,
you can use the &lsquo;<samp>-Wa</samp>&rsquo; option to pass arguments through to the assembler.
The assembler arguments must be separated from each other (and the &lsquo;<samp>-Wa</samp>&rsquo;)
by commas. For example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">gcc -c -g -O -Wa,-alh,-L file.c
</pre></div>
<p>This passes two options to the assembler: &lsquo;<samp>-alh</samp>&rsquo; (emit a listing to
standard output with high-level and assembly source) and &lsquo;<samp>-L</samp>&rsquo; (retain
local symbols in the symbol table).
</p>
<p>Usually you do not need to use this &lsquo;<samp>-Wa</samp>&rsquo; mechanism, since many compiler
command-line options are automatically passed to the assembler by the compiler.
(You can call the <small>GNU</small> compiler driver with the &lsquo;<samp>-v</samp>&rsquo; option to see
precisely what options it passes to each compilation pass, including the
assembler.)

<p>These options enable listing output from the assembler. By itself,
&lsquo;<samp>-a</samp>&rsquo; requests high-level, assembly, and symbols listing.
You can use other letters to select specific options for the list:
&lsquo;<samp>-ah</samp>&rsquo; requests a high-level language listing,
&lsquo;<samp>-al</samp>&rsquo; requests an output-program assembly listing, and
&lsquo;<samp>-as</samp>&rsquo; requests a symbol table listing.
High-level listings require that a compiler debugging option like
&lsquo;<samp>-g</samp>&rsquo; be used, and that assembly listings (&lsquo;<samp>-al</samp>&rsquo;) be requested
also.
</p>
<p>Use the &lsquo;<samp>-ag</samp>&rsquo; option to print a first section with general assembly
information, like as version, switches passed, or time stamp.
</p>
<p>Use the &lsquo;<samp>-ac</samp>&rsquo; option to omit false conditionals from a listing. Any lines
which are not assembled because of a false <code>.if</code> (or <code>.ifdef</code>, or any
other conditional), or a true <code>.if</code> followed by an <code>.else</code>, will be
omitted from the listing.
</p>
<p>Use the &lsquo;<samp>-ad</samp>&rsquo; option to omit debugging directives from the
listing.
</p>
<p>Once you have specified one of these options, you can further control
listing output and its appearance using the directives <code>.list</code>,
<code>.nolist</code>, <code>.psize</code>, <code>.eject</code>, <code>.title</code>, and
<code>.sbttl</code>.
The &lsquo;<samp>-an</samp>&rsquo; option turns off all forms processing.
If you do not request listing output with one of the &lsquo;<samp>-a</samp>&rsquo; options, the
listing-control directives have no effect.
</p>
<p>The letters after &lsquo;<samp>-a</samp>&rsquo; may be combined into one option,
<em>e.g.</em>, &lsquo;<samp>-aln</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>Note if the assembler source is coming from the standard input (e.g.,
because it
is being created by <code>gcc</code> and the &lsquo;<samp>-pipe</samp>&rsquo; command-line switch
is being used) then the listing will not contain any comments or preprocessor
directives. This is because the listing code buffers input source lines from
stdin only after they have been preprocessed by the assembler. This reduces
memory usage and makes the code more efficient.

<p>The listing feature of the assembler can be enabled via the command-line switch
&lsquo;<samp>-a</samp>&rsquo; (see <a href="#a">a</a>). This feature combines the input source file(s) with a
hex dump of the corresponding locations in the output object file, and displays
them as a listing file. The format of this listing can be controlled by
directives inside the assembler source (i.e., <code>.list</code> (see <a href="#List">List</a>),
<code>.title</code> (see <a href="#Title">Title</a>), <code>.sbttl</code> (see <a href="#Sbttl">Sbttl</a>),
<code>.psize</code> (see <a href="#Psize">Psize</a>), and

<a name="Assemble-in-MRI-Compatibility-Mode_003a-_002dM"></a>
<h3 class="section">2.9 Assemble in MRI Compatibility Mode: <samp>-M</samp></h3>
<a name="index-_002dM"></a>
<a name="index-MRI-compatibility-mode"></a>
<p>The <samp>-M</samp> or <samp>--mri</samp> option selects MRI compatibility mode. This
changes the syntax and pseudo-op handling of <code>as</code> to make it
compatible with the <code>ASM68K</code> assembler from Microtec Research.
The exact nature of the
MRI syntax will not be documented here; see the MRI manuals for more
information. Note in particular that the handling of macros and macro
arguments is somewhat different. The purpose of this option is to permit
assembling existing MRI assembler code using <code>as</code>.
</p>
<p>The MRI compatibility is not complete. Certain operations of the MRI assembler
depend upon its object file format, and can not be supported using other object
file formats. Supporting these would require enhancing each object file format
individually. These are:
</p>
<ul>
<li> global symbols in common section
<p>The m68k MRI assembler supports common sections which are merged by the linker.
Other object file formats do not support this. <code>as</code> handles
common sections by treating them as a single common symbol. It permits local
symbols to be defined within a common section, but it can not support global
symbols, since it has no way to describe them.
</p>
</li><li> complex relocations
<p>The MRI assemblers support relocations against a negated section address, and
relocations which combine the start addresses of two or more sections. These
are not support by other object file formats.
</p>
</li><li> <code>END</code> pseudo-op specifying start address
<p>The MRI <code>END</code> pseudo-op permits the specification of a start address.
This is not supported by other object file formats. The start address may
instead be specified using the <samp>-e</samp> option to the linker, or in a linker
script.
</p>
</li><li> <code>IDNT</code>, <code>.ident</code> and <code>NAME</code> pseudo-ops
<p>The MRI <code>IDNT</code>, <code>.ident</code> and <code>NAME</code> pseudo-ops assign a module
name to the output file. This is not supported by other object file formats.
</p>
</li><li> <code>ORG</code> pseudo-op
<p>The m68k MRI <code>ORG</code> pseudo-op begins an absolute section at a given
address. This differs from the usual <code>as</code> <code>.org</code> pseudo-op,
which changes the location within the current section. Absolute sections are
not supported by other object file formats. The address of a section may be
assigned within a linker script.
</p></li></ul>
<p>There are some other features of the MRI assembler which are not supported by
<code>as</code>, typically either because they are difficult or because they
seem of little consequence. Some of these may be supported in future releases.
</p>
<ul>
<li> EBCDIC strings
<p>EBCDIC strings are not supported.
</p>
</li><li> packed binary coded decimal
<p>Packed binary coded decimal is not supported. This means that the <code>DC.P</code>
and <code>DCB.P</code> pseudo-ops are not supported.
</p>
</li><li> <code>FEQU</code> pseudo-op
<p>The m68k <code>FEQU</code> pseudo-op is not supported.
</p>
</li><li> <code>NOOBJ</code> pseudo-op
<p>The m68k <code>NOOBJ</code> pseudo-op is not supported.
</p>
</li><li> <code>OPT</code> branch control options
<p>The m68k <code>OPT</code> branch control options&mdash;<code>B</code>, <code>BRS</code>, <code>BRB</code>,
<code>BRL</code>, and <code>BRW</code>&mdash;are ignored. <code>as</code> automatically
relaxes all branches, whether forward or backward, to an appropriate size, so
these options serve no purpose.
</p>
</li><li> <code>OPT</code> list control options
<p>The following m68k <code>OPT</code> list control options are ignored: <code>C</code>,
<code>CEX</code>, <code>CL</code>, <code>CRE</code>, <code>E</code>, <code>G</code>, <code>I</code>, <code>M</code>,
<code>MEX</code>, <code>MC</code>, <code>MD</code>, <code>X</code>.
</p>
</li><li> other <code>OPT</code> options
<p>The following m68k <code>OPT</code> options are ignored: <code>NEST</code>, <code>O</code>,
<code>OLD</code>, <code>OP</code>, <code>P</code>, <code>PCO</code>, <code>PCR</code>, <code>PCS</code>, <code>R</code>.
</p>
</li><li> <code>OPT</code> <code>D</code> option is default
<p>The m68k <code>OPT</code> <code>D</code> option is the default, unlike the MRI assembler.
<code>OPT NOD</code> may be used to turn it off.
</p>
</li><li> <code>XREF</code> pseudo-op.
<p>The m68k <code>XREF</code> pseudo-op is ignored.

adjusts and removes extra whitespace. It leaves one space or tab before
the keywords on a line, and turns any other whitespace on the line into
a single space.
</li><li> <a name="index-comments_002c-removed-by-preprocessor"></a>
removes all comments, replacing them with a single space, or an
appropriate number of newlines.
</li><li> <a name="index-constants_002c-converted-by-preprocessor"></a>
converts character constants into the appropriate numeric values.
</li></ul>
<p>It does not do macro processing, include file handling, or
anything else you may get from your C compiler&rsquo;s preprocessor. You can
do include file processing with the <code>.include</code> directive
(see <a href="#Include"><code>.include</code></a>). You can use the <small>GNU</small> C compiler driver
to get other &ldquo;CPP&rdquo; style preprocessing by giving the input file a
&lsquo;<samp>.S</samp>&rsquo; suffix. <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Overall-Options.html#Overall-Options">See the &rsquo;Options Controlling the Kind of Output&rsquo; section of the GCC manual for
more details</a>

<p>If the first line of an input file is <code>#NO_APP</code> or if you use the

Within an input file, you can ask for whitespace and comment removal in
specific portions of the by putting a line that says <code>#APP</code> before the
text that may contain whitespace or comments, and putting a line that says
<code>#NO_APP</code> after this text. This feature is mainly intend to support

<h3 class="section">3.3 Comments</h3>
<a name="index-comments"></a>
<p>There are two ways of rendering comments to <code>as</code>. In both
cases the comment is equivalent to one space.
</p>
<p>Anything from &lsquo;<samp>/*</samp>&rsquo; through the next &lsquo;<samp>*/</samp>&rsquo; is a comment.
This means you may not nest these comments.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">/*
The only way to include a newline ('\n') in a comment
is to use this sort of comment.
*/
/* This sort of comment does not nest. */
</pre></div>
<a name="index-line-comment-character"></a>
<p>Anything from a <em>line comment</em> character up to the next newline is
considered a comment and is ignored. The line comment character is target
specific, and some targets multiple comment characters. Some targets also have
line comment characters that only work if they are the first character on a
line. Some targets use a sequence of two characters to introduce a line
comment. Some targets can also change their line comment characters depending
upon command-line options that have been used. For more details see the
<em>Syntax</em> section in the documentation for individual targets.
</p>
<p>If the line comment character is the hash sign (&lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo;) then it still has the
special ability to enable and disable preprocessing (see <a href="#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>) and
to specify logical line numbers:
</p>
<a name="index-_0023"></a>
<a name="index-lines-starting-with-_0023"></a>
<a name="index-logical-line-numbers"></a>
<p>To be compatible with past assemblers, lines that begin with &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; have a
special interpretation. Following the &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; should be an absolute
expression (see <a href="#Expressions">Expressions</a>): the logical line number of the <em>next</em>
line. Then a string (see <a href="#Strings">Strings</a>) is allowed: if present it is a
new logical file name. The rest of the line, if any, should be whitespace.
</p>
<p>If the first non-whitespace characters on the line are not numeric,
the line is ignored. (Just like a comment.)
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> # This is an ordinary comment.

<p>A <em>symbol</em> is one or more characters chosen from the set of all

&lsquo;<samp>_.$</samp>&rsquo;.
On most machines, you can also use <code>$</code> in symbol names; exceptions
are noted in <a href="#Machine-Dependencies">Machine Dependencies</a>.
No symbol may begin with a digit. Case is significant.
There is no length limit; all characters are significant. Multibyte characters
are supported, but note that the setting of the
<samp>--multibyte-handling</samp> option might prevent their use. Symbols
are delimited by characters not in that set, or by the beginning of a file
(since the source program must end with a newline, the end of a file is not a
possible symbol delimiter). See <a href="#Symbols">Symbols</a>.
</p>
<p>Symbol names may also be enclosed in double quote <code>&quot;</code> characters. In such
cases any characters are allowed, except for the NUL character. If a double
quote character is to be included in the symbol name it must be preceded by a
backslash <code>\</code> character.

<p>A <em>statement</em> ends at a newline character (&lsquo;<samp>\n</samp>&rsquo;) or a
<em>line separator character</em>. The line separator character is target
specific and described in the <em>Syntax</em> section of each
target&rsquo;s documentation. Not all targets support a line separator character.
The newline or line separator character is considered to be part of the
preceding statement. Newlines and separators within character constants are an
exception: they do not end statements.
</p>
<a name="index-newline_002c-required-at-file-end"></a>
<a name="index-EOF_002c-newline-must-precede"></a>
<p>It is an error to end any statement with end-of-file: the last
character of any input file should be a newline.
</p>
<p>An empty statement is allowed, and may include whitespace. It is ignored.
</p>
<a name="index-instructions-and-directives"></a>
<a name="index-directives-and-instructions"></a>
<p>A statement begins with zero or more labels, optionally followed by a
key symbol which determines what kind of statement it is. The key
symbol determines the syntax of the rest of the statement. If the
symbol begins with a dot &lsquo;<samp>.</samp>&rsquo; then the statement is an assembler
directive: typically valid for any computer. If the symbol begins with
a letter the statement is an assembly language <em>instruction</em>: it
assembles into a machine language instruction.
Different versions of <code>as</code> for different computers
recognize different instructions. In fact, the same symbol may
represent a different instruction in a different computer&rsquo;s assembly
language.
</p>
<a name="index-_003a-_0028label_0029"></a>
<a name="index-label-_0028_003a_0029"></a>
<p>A label is a symbol immediately followed by a colon (<code>:</code>).
Whitespace before a label or after a colon is permitted, but you may not
have whitespace between a label&rsquo;s symbol and its colon. See <a href="#Labels">Labels</a>.
</p>
<p>For HPPA targets, labels need not be immediately followed by a colon, but
the definition of a label must begin in column zero. This also implies that
only one label may be defined on each line.

<p>A <em>string</em> is written between double-quotes. It may contain
double-quotes or null characters. The way to get special characters
into a string is to <em>escape</em> these characters: precede them with
a backslash &lsquo;<samp>\</samp>&rsquo; character. For example &lsquo;<samp>\\</samp>&rsquo; represents
one backslash: the first <code>\</code> is an escape which tells
<code>as</code> to interpret the second character literally as a backslash
(which prevents <code>as</code> from recognizing the second <code>\</code> as an
escape character). The complete list of escapes follows.

<p>A single character may be written as a single quote immediately followed by
that character. Some backslash escapes apply to characters, <code>\b</code>,
<code>\f</code>, <code>\n</code>, <code>\r</code>, <code>\t</code>, and <code>\&quot;</code> with the same meaning
as for strings, plus <code>\'</code> for a single quote. So if you want to write the
character backslash, you must write <kbd>'\\</kbd> where the first <code>\</code> escapes
the second <code>\</code>. As you can see, the quote is an acute accent, not a grave
accent. A newline
immediately following an acute accent is taken as a literal character
and does not count as the end of a statement. The value of a character
constant in a numeric expression is the machine&rsquo;s byte-wide code for
that character. <code>as</code> assumes your character code is ASCII:
<kbd>'A</kbd> means 65, <kbd>'B</kbd> means 66, and so on.

<p>A <em>flonum</em> represents a floating point number. The translation is
indirect: a decimal floating point number from the text is converted by
<code>as</code> to a generic binary floating point number of more than
sufficient precision. This generic floating point number is converted
to a particular computer&rsquo;s floating point format (or formats) by a
portion of <code>as</code> specialized to that computer.
</p>
<p>A flonum is written by writing (in order)
</p><ul>
<li> The digit &lsquo;<samp>0</samp>&rsquo;.
(&lsquo;<samp>0</samp>&rsquo; is optional on the HPPA.)
</li><li> A letter, to tell <code>as</code> the rest of the number is a flonum.
<kbd>e</kbd> is recommended. Case is not important.
<p>On the H8/300 and Renesas / SuperH SH architectures, the letter must be
one of the letters &lsquo;<samp>DFPRSX</samp>&rsquo; (in upper or lower case).
</p>
<p>On the ARC, the letter must be one of the letters &lsquo;<samp>DFRS</samp>&rsquo;
(in upper or lower case).
</p>
<p>On the HPPA architecture, the letter must be &lsquo;<samp>E</samp>&rsquo; (upper case only).
</p>
</li><li> An optional sign: either &lsquo;<samp>+</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>-</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> An optional <em>integer part</em>: zero or more decimal digits.
</li><li> An optional <em>fractional part</em>: &lsquo;<samp>.</samp>&rsquo; followed by zero
or more decimal digits.
</li><li> An optional exponent, consisting of:
<ul>
<li> An &lsquo;<samp>E</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>e</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> Optional sign: either &lsquo;<samp>+</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>-</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> One or more decimal digits.
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<p>At least one of the integer part or the fractional part must be
present. The floating point number has the usual base-10 value.

<a name="Background"></a>
<h3 class="section">4.1 Background</h3>
<p>Roughly, a section is a range of addresses, with no gaps; all data
&ldquo;in&rdquo; those addresses is treated the same for some particular purpose.
For example there may be a &ldquo;read only&rdquo; section.
</p>
<a name="index-linker_002c-and-assembler"></a>
<a name="index-assembler_002c-and-linker"></a>
<p>The linker <code>ld</code> reads many object files (partial programs) and
combines their contents to form a runnable program. When <code>as</code>
emits an object file, the partial program is assumed to start at address 0.
<code>ld</code> assigns the final addresses for the partial program, so that
different partial programs do not overlap. This is actually an
oversimplification, but it suffices to explain how <code>as</code> uses
sections.
</p>
<p><code>ld</code> moves blocks of bytes of your program to their run-time
addresses. These blocks slide to their run-time addresses as rigid
units; their length does not change and neither does the order of bytes
within them. Such a rigid unit is called a <em>section</em>. Assigning
run-time addresses to sections is called <em>relocation</em>. It includes
the task of adjusting mentions of object-file addresses so they refer to
the proper run-time addresses.
For the H8/300, and for the Renesas / SuperH SH,
<code>as</code> pads sections if needed to
ensure they end on a word (sixteen bit) boundary.
</p>
<a name="index-standard-assembler-sections"></a>
<p>An object file written by <code>as</code> has at least three sections, any
of which may be empty. These are named <em>text</em>, <em>data</em> and
<em>bss</em> sections.
</p>
<p>When it generates COFF or ELF output,
<code>as</code> can also generate whatever other named sections you specify
using the &lsquo;<samp>.section</samp>&rsquo; directive (see <a href="#Section"><code>.section</code></a>).
If you do not use any directives that place output in the &lsquo;<samp>.text</samp>&rsquo;
or &lsquo;<samp>.data</samp>&rsquo; sections, these sections still exist, but are empty.
</p>
<p>When <code>as</code> generates SOM or ELF output for the HPPA,
<code>as</code> can also generate whatever other named sections you
specify using the &lsquo;<samp>.space</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>.subspace</samp>&rsquo; directives. See
<cite>HP9000 Series 800 Assembly Language Reference Manual</cite>
(HP 92432-90001) for details on the &lsquo;<samp>.space</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>.subspace</samp>&rsquo;
assembler directives.
</p>
<p>Additionally, <code>as</code> uses different names for the standard
text, data, and bss sections when generating SOM output. Program text
is placed into the &lsquo;<samp>$CODE$</samp>&rsquo; section, data into &lsquo;<samp>$DATA$</samp>&rsquo;, and
BSS into &lsquo;<samp>$BSS$</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>Within the object file, the text section starts at address <code>0</code>, the
data section follows, and the bss section follows the data section.
</p>
<p>When generating either SOM or ELF output files on the HPPA, the text
section starts at address <code>0</code>, the data section at address
<code>0x4000000</code>, and the bss section follows the data section.
</p>
<p>To let <code>ld</code> know which data changes when the sections are
relocated, and how to change that data, <code>as</code> also writes to the
object file details of the relocation needed. To perform relocation
<code>ld</code> must know, each time an address in the object
file is mentioned:
</p><ul>
<li> Where in the object file is the beginning of this reference to
an address?
</li><li> How long (in bytes) is this reference?
</li><li> Which section does the address refer to? What is the numeric value of
<div class="display">
<pre class="display">(<var>address</var>) - (<var>start-address of section</var>)?
</pre></div>
</li><li> Is the reference to an address &ldquo;Program-Counter relative&rdquo;?
</li></ul>
<a name="index-addresses_002c-format-of"></a>
<a name="index-section_002drelative-addressing"></a>
<p>In fact, every address <code>as</code> ever uses is expressed as
</p><div class="display">
<pre class="display">(<var>section</var>) + (<var>offset into section</var>)
</pre></div>
<p>Further, most expressions <code>as</code> computes have this section-relative
nature.
(For some object formats, such as SOM for the HPPA, some expressions are
symbol-relative instead.)
</p>
<p>In this manual we use the notation {<var>secname</var> <var>N</var>} to mean &ldquo;offset
<var>N</var> into section <var>secname</var>.&rdquo;
</p>
<p>Apart from text, data and bss sections you need to know about the
<em>absolute</em> section. When <code>ld</code> mixes partial programs,
addresses in the absolute section remain unchanged. For example, address
<code>{absolute 0}</code> is &ldquo;relocated&rdquo; to run-time address 0 by
<code>ld</code>. Although the linker never arranges two partial programs&rsquo;
data sections with overlapping addresses after linking, <em>by definition</em>
their absolute sections must overlap. Address <code>{absolute&nbsp;239}</code> in one
part of a program is always the same address when the program is running as
address <code>{absolute&nbsp;239}</code> in any other part of the program.
</p>
<p>The idea of sections is extended to the <em>undefined</em> section. Any
address whose section is unknown at assembly time is by definition
rendered {undefined <var>U</var>}&mdash;where <var>U</var> is filled in later.
Since numbers are always defined, the only way to generate an undefined
address is to mention an undefined symbol. A reference to a named
common block would be such a symbol: its value is unknown at assembly
time so it has section <em>undefined</em>.
</p>
<p>By analogy the word <em>section</em> is used to describe groups of sections in
the linked program. <code>ld</code> puts all partial programs&rsquo; text
sections in contiguous addresses in the linked program. It is
customary to refer to the <em>text section</em> of a program, meaning all
the addresses of all partial programs&rsquo; text sections. Likewise for
data and bss sections.
</p>
<p>Some sections are manipulated by <code>ld</code>; others are invented for
use of <code>as</code> and have no meaning except during assembly.

true of another.
When the program is running, however, it is
customary for the text section to be unalterable. The
text section is often shared among processes: it contains
instructions, constants and the like. The data section of a running
program is usually alterable: for example, C variables would be stored
in the data section.

<dt><strong>bss section</strong></dt>
<dd><p>This section contains zeroed bytes when your program begins running. It

each partial program&rsquo;s bss section is important, but because it starts
out containing zeroed bytes there is no need to store explicit zero
bytes in the object file. The bss section was invented to eliminate
those explicit zeros from object files.

<dd><p>Address 0 of this section is always &ldquo;relocated&rdquo; to runtime address 0.

<p>Assembled bytes
conventionally
fall into two sections: text and data.
You may have separate groups of
data in named sections
that you want to end up near to each other in the object file, even though they
are not contiguous in the assembler source. <code>as</code> allows you to
use <em>subsections</em> for this purpose. Within each section, there can be
numbered subsections with values from 0 to 8192. Objects assembled into the
same subsection go into the object file together with other objects in the same
subsection. For example, a compiler might want to store constants in the text
section, but might not want to have them interspersed with the program being
assembled. In this case, the compiler could issue a &lsquo;<samp>.text 0</samp>&rsquo; before each
section of code being output, and a &lsquo;<samp>.text 1</samp>&rsquo; before each group of
constants being output.
</p>
<p>Subsections are optional. If you do not use subsections, everything
goes in subsection number zero.
</p>
<p>Each subsection is zero-padded up to a multiple of four bytes.
(Subsections may be padded a different amount on different flavors
of <code>as</code>.)
</p>
<p>Subsections appear in your object file in numeric order, lowest numbered
to highest. (All this to be compatible with other people&rsquo;s assemblers.)
The object file contains no representation of subsections; <code>ld</code> and
other programs that manipulate object files see no trace of them.
They just see all your text subsections as a text section, and all your
data subsections as a data section.
</p>
<p>To specify which subsection you want subsequent statements assembled
into, use a numeric argument to specify it, in a &lsquo;<samp>.text
<var>expression</var></samp>&rsquo; or a &lsquo;<samp>.data <var>expression</var></samp>&rsquo; statement.
When generating COFF output, you
can also use an extra subsection
argument with arbitrary named sections: &lsquo;<samp>.section <var>name</var>,
<var>expression</var></samp>&rsquo;.
When generating ELF output, you
can also use the <code>.subsection</code> directive (see <a href="#SubSection">SubSection</a>)
to specify a subsection: &lsquo;<samp>.subsection <var>expression</var></samp>&rsquo;.
<var>Expression</var> should be an absolute expression
(see <a href="#Expressions">Expressions</a>). If you just say &lsquo;<samp>.text</samp>&rsquo; then &lsquo;<samp>.text 0</samp>&rsquo;
is assumed. Likewise &lsquo;<samp>.data</samp>&rsquo; means &lsquo;<samp>.data 0</samp>&rsquo;. Assembly
begins in <code>text 0</code>. For instance:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.text 0 # The default subsection is text 0 anyway.
.ascii &quot;This lives in the first text subsection. *&quot;
.text 1
.ascii &quot;But this lives in the second text subsection.&quot;
.data 0
.ascii &quot;This lives in the data section,&quot;
.ascii &quot;in the first data subsection.&quot;
.text 0
.ascii &quot;This lives in the first text section,&quot;
.ascii &quot;immediately following the asterisk (*).&quot;
</pre></div>
<p>Each section has a <em>location counter</em> incremented by one for every byte
assembled into that section. Because subsections are merely a convenience
restricted to <code>as</code> there is no concept of a subsection location
counter. There is no way to directly manipulate a location counter&mdash;but the
<code>.align</code> directive changes it, and any label definition captures its
current value. The location counter of the section where statements are being
assembled is said to be the <em>active</em> location counter.

<p>When assembling for a target which supports multiple sections, such as ELF or
COFF, you may switch into the <code>.bss</code> section and define symbols as usual;
see <a href="#Section"><code>.section</code></a>. You may only assemble zero values into the
section. Typically the section will only contain symbol definitions and
<code>.skip</code> directives (see <a href="#Skip"><code>.skip</code></a>).

<a name="index-labels"></a>
<p>A <em>label</em> is written as a symbol immediately followed by a colon
&lsquo;<samp>:</samp>&rsquo;. The symbol then represents the current value of the
active location counter, and is, for example, a suitable instruction
operand. You are warned if you use the same symbol to represent two
different locations: the first definition overrides any other
definitions.
</p>
<p>On the HPPA, the usual form for a label need not be immediately followed by a
colon, but instead must start in column zero. Only one label may be defined on
a single line. To work around this, the HPPA version of <code>as</code> also
provides a special directive <code>.label</code> for defining labels more flexibly.

<h3 class="section">5.3 Symbol Names</h3>
<a name="index-symbol-names"></a>
<a name="index-names_002c-symbol"></a>
<p>Symbol names begin with a letter or with one of &lsquo;<samp>._</samp>&rsquo;. On most
machines, you can also use <code>$</code> in symbol names; exceptions are
noted in <a href="#Machine-Dependencies">Machine Dependencies</a>. That character may be followed by any
string of digits, letters, dollar signs (unless otherwise noted for a
particular target machine), and underscores. These restrictions do not
apply when quoting symbol names by &lsquo;<samp>&quot;</samp>&rsquo;, which is permitted for most
targets. Escaping characters in quoted symbol names with &lsquo;<samp>\</samp>&rsquo; generally
extends only to &lsquo;<samp>\</samp>&rsquo; itself and &lsquo;<samp>&quot;</samp>&rsquo;, at the time of writing.
</p>
<p>Case of letters is significant: <code>foo</code> is a different symbol name
than <code>Foo</code>.
</p>
<p>Symbol names do not start with a digit. An exception to this rule is made for
Local Labels. See below.
</p>
<p>Multibyte characters are supported, but note that the setting of the
<samp>multibyte-handling</samp> option might prevent their use.
To generate a symbol name containing
multibyte characters enclose it within double quotes and use escape codes. cf
See <a href="#Strings">Strings</a>. Generating a multibyte symbol name from a label is not
currently supported.
</p>
<p>Since multibyte symbol names are unusual, and could possibly be used
maliciously, <code>as</code> provides a command line option
(<samp>--multibyte-handling=warn-sym-only</samp>) which can be used to generate a
warning message whenever a symbol name containing multibyte characters is defined.
</p>
<p>Each symbol has exactly one name. Each name in an assembly language program
refers to exactly one symbol. You may use that symbol name any number of times
in a program.
</p>
<a name="Local-Symbol-Names"></a>
<h4 class="subheading">Local Symbol Names</h4>
<a name="index-local-symbol-names"></a>
<a name="index-symbol-names_002c-local"></a>
<p>A local symbol is any symbol beginning with certain local label prefixes.
By default, the local label prefix is &lsquo;<samp>.L</samp>&rsquo; for ELF systems or
&lsquo;<samp>L</samp>&rsquo; for traditional a.out systems, but each target may have its own
set of local label prefixes.
On the HPPA local symbols begin with &lsquo;<samp>L$</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>Local symbols are defined and used within the assembler, but they are
normally not saved in object files. Thus, they are not visible when debugging.
You may use the &lsquo;<samp>-L</samp>&rsquo; option (see <a href="#L">Include Local Symbols</a>)
to retain the local symbols in the object files.
</p>
<a name="Local-Labels-1"></a>
<h4 class="subheading">Local Labels</h4>
<a name="index-local-labels"></a>
<a name="index-temporary-symbol-names"></a>
<a name="index-symbol-names_002c-temporary"></a>
<p>Local labels are different from local symbols. Local labels help compilers and
programmers use names temporarily. They create symbols which are guaranteed to
be unique over the entire scope of the input source code and which can be
referred to by a simple notation. To define a local label, write a label of
the form &lsquo;<samp><b>N</b>:</samp>&rsquo; (where <b>N</b> represents any non-negative integer).
To refer to the most recent previous definition of that label write
&lsquo;<samp><b>N</b>b</samp>&rsquo;, using the same number as when you defined the label. To refer
to the next definition of a local label, write &lsquo;<samp><b>N</b>f</samp>&rsquo;. The &lsquo;<samp>b</samp>&rsquo;
stands for &ldquo;backwards&rdquo; and the &lsquo;<samp>f</samp>&rsquo; stands for &ldquo;forwards&rdquo;.
</p>
<p>There is no restriction on how you can use these labels, and you can reuse them
too. So that it is possible to repeatedly define the same local label (using
the same number &lsquo;<samp><b>N</b></samp>&rsquo;), although you can only refer to the most recently
defined local label of that number (for a backwards reference) or the next
definition of a specific local label for a forward reference. It is also worth
noting that the first 10 local labels (&lsquo;<samp><b>0:</b></samp>&rsquo;&hellip;&lsquo;<samp><b>9:</b></samp>&rsquo;) are
implemented in a slightly more efficient manner than the others.
</p>
<p>Here is an example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">1: branch 1f
2: branch 1b
1: branch 2f
2: branch 1b
</pre></div>
<p>Which is the equivalent of:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">label_1: branch label_3
label_2: branch label_1
label_3: branch label_4
label_4: branch label_3
</pre></div>
<p>Local label names are only a notational device. They are immediately
transformed into more conventional symbol names before the assembler uses them.
The symbol names are stored in the symbol table, appear in error messages, and
are optionally emitted to the object file. The names are constructed using
these parts:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code><em>local label prefix</em></code></dt>
<dd><p>All local symbols begin with the system-specific local label prefix.
Normally both <code>as</code> and <code>ld</code> forget symbols
that start with the local label prefix. These labels are
used for symbols you are never intended to see. If you use the
&lsquo;<samp>-L</samp>&rsquo; option then <code>as</code> retains these symbols in the
object file. If you also instruct <code>ld</code> to retain these symbols,
you may use them in debugging.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><var>number</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>This is the number that was used in the local label definition. So if the
label is written &lsquo;<samp>55:</samp>&rsquo; then the number is &lsquo;<samp>55</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><kbd>C-B</kbd></code></dt>
<dd><p>This unusual character is included so you do not accidentally invent a symbol
of the same name. The character has ASCII value of &lsquo;<samp>\002</samp>&rsquo; (control-B).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><em>ordinal number</em></code></dt>
<dd><p>This is a serial number to keep the labels distinct. The first definition of
&lsquo;<samp>0:</samp>&rsquo; gets the number &lsquo;<samp>1</samp>&rsquo;. The 15th definition of &lsquo;<samp>0:</samp>&rsquo; gets the
number &lsquo;<samp>15</samp>&rsquo;, and so on. Likewise the first definition of &lsquo;<samp>1:</samp>&rsquo; gets
the number &lsquo;<samp>1</samp>&rsquo; and its 15th definition gets &lsquo;<samp>15</samp>&rsquo; as well.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>So for example, the first <code>1:</code> may be named <code>.L1<kbd>C-B</kbd>1</code>, and
the 44th <code>3:</code> may be named <code>.L3<kbd>C-B</kbd>44</code>.
</p>
<a name="Dollar-Local-Labels"></a>
<h4 class="subheading">Dollar Local Labels</h4>
<a name="index-dollar-local-symbols"></a>
<p>On some targets <code>as</code> also supports an even more local form of
local labels called dollar labels. These labels go out of scope (i.e., they
become undefined) as soon as a non-local label is defined. Thus they remain
valid for only a small region of the input source code. Normal local labels,
by contrast, remain in scope for the entire file, or until they are redefined
by another occurrence of the same local label.
</p>
<p>Dollar labels are defined in exactly the same way as ordinary local labels,
except that they have a dollar sign suffix to their numeric value, e.g.,
&lsquo;<samp><b>55$:</b></samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>They can also be distinguished from ordinary local labels by their transformed
names which use ASCII character &lsquo;<samp>\001</samp>&rsquo; (control-A) as the magic character
to distinguish them from ordinary labels. For example, the fifth definition of
&lsquo;<samp>6$</samp>&rsquo; may be named &lsquo;<samp>.L6<kbd>C-A</kbd>5</samp>&rsquo;.

<p>If you use a symbol without defining it, <code>as</code> assumes zero for

<a name="index-value-of-a-symbol"></a>
<a name="index-symbol-value"></a>
<p>The value of a symbol is (usually) 32 bits. For a symbol which labels a
location in the text, data, bss or absolute sections the value is the
number of addresses from the start of that section to the label.
Naturally for text, data and bss sections the value of a symbol changes
as <code>ld</code> changes section base addresses during linking. Absolute
symbols&rsquo; values do not change during linking: that is why they are
called absolute.
</p>
<p>The value of an undefined symbol is treated in a special way. If it is
0 then the symbol is not defined in this assembler source file, and
<code>ld</code> tries to determine its value from other files linked into the
same program. You make this kind of symbol simply by mentioning a symbol
name without defining it. A non-zero value represents a <code>.comm</code>
common declaration. The value is how much common storage to reserve, in
bytes (addresses). The symbol refers to the first address of the
allocated storage.

<p>An empty expression has no value: it is just whitespace or null.
Wherever an absolute expression is required, you may omit the
expression, and <code>as</code> assumes a value of (absolute) 0. This
is compatible with other assemblers.

<a name="index-arithmetic-operands"></a>
<p><em>Arguments</em> are symbols, numbers or subexpressions. In other
contexts arguments are sometimes called &ldquo;arithmetic operands&rdquo;. In
this manual, to avoid confusing them with the &ldquo;instruction operands&rdquo; of
the machine language, we use the term &ldquo;argument&rdquo; to refer to parts of
expressions only, reserving the word &ldquo;operand&rdquo; to refer only to machine
instruction operands.
</p>
<p>Symbols are evaluated to yield {<var>section</var> <var>NNN</var>} where
<var>section</var> is one of text, data, bss, absolute,
or undefined. <var>NNN</var> is a signed, 2&rsquo;s complement 32 bit
integer.
</p>
<p>Numbers are usually integers.
</p>
<p>A number can be a flonum or bignum. In this case, you are warned
that only the low order 32 bits are used, and <code>as</code> pretends
these 32 bits are an integer. You may write integer-manipulating
instructions that act on exotic constants, compatible with other
assemblers.
</p>
<a name="index-subexpressions"></a>
<p>Subexpressions are a left parenthesis &lsquo;<samp>(</samp>&rsquo; followed by an integer
expression, followed by a right parenthesis &lsquo;<samp>)</samp>&rsquo;; or a prefix
operator followed by an argument.

<p>These two logical operations can be used to combine the results of sub

value of 1 but a false results does still return 0. Also note that the logical
or operator has a slightly lower precedence than logical and.

<p>In short, it&rsquo;s only meaningful to add or subtract the <em>offsets</em> in an
address; you can only have a defined section in one of the two arguments.

<p>All assembler directives have names that begin with a period (&lsquo;<samp>.</samp>&rsquo;).
The names are case insensitive for most targets, and usually written
in lower case.
</p>
<p>This chapter discusses directives that are available regardless of the
target machine configuration for the <small>GNU</small> assembler.
Some machine configurations provide additional directives.

<a name="index-padding-the-location-counter"></a>
<a name="index-align-directive"></a>
<p>Pad the location counter (in the current subsection) to a particular storage
boundary. The first expression (which must be absolute) is the alignment
required, as described below. If this expression is omitted then a default
value of 0 is used, effectively disabling alignment requirements.
</p>
<p>The second expression (also absolute) gives the fill value to be stored in the
padding bytes. It (and the comma) may be omitted. If it is omitted, the
padding bytes are normally zero. However, on most systems, if the section is
marked as containing code and the fill value is omitted, the space is filled
with no-op instructions.
</p>
<p>The third expression is also absolute, and is also optional. If it is present,
it is the maximum number of bytes that should be skipped by this alignment
directive. If doing the alignment would require skipping more bytes than the
specified maximum, then the alignment is not done at all. You can omit the
fill value (the second argument) entirely by simply using two commas after the
required alignment; this can be useful if you want the alignment to be filled
with no-op instructions when appropriate.
</p>
<p>The way the required alignment is specified varies from system to system.
For the arc, hppa, i386 using ELF, iq2000, m68k, or1k,
s390, sparc, tic4x and xtensa, the first expression is the
alignment request in bytes. For example &lsquo;<samp>.align 8</samp>&rsquo; advances
the location counter until it is a multiple of 8. If the location counter
is already a multiple of 8, no change is needed. For the tic54x, the
first expression is the alignment request in words.
</p>
<p>For other systems, including ppc, i386 using a.out format, arm and
strongarm, it is the
number of low-order zero bits the location counter must have after
advancement. For example &lsquo;<samp>.align 3</samp>&rsquo; advances the location
counter until it is a multiple of 8. If the location counter is already a
multiple of 8, no change is needed.
</p>
<p>This inconsistency is due to the different behaviors of the various
native assemblers for these systems which GAS must emulate.
GAS also provides <code>.balign</code> and <code>.p2align</code> directives,
described later, which have a consistent behavior across all
architectures (but are specific to GAS).

<p>The <code>.balignw</code> and <code>.balignl</code> directives are variants of the
<code>.balign</code> directive. The <code>.balignw</code> directive treats the fill
pattern as a two byte word value. The <code>.balignl</code> directives treats the
fill pattern as a four byte longword value. For example, <code>.balignw
4,0x368d</code> will align to a multiple of 4. If it skips two bytes, they will be
filled in with the value 0x368d (the exact placement of the bytes depends upon
the endianness of the processor). If it skips 1 or 3 bytes, the fill value is
undefined.

<h4 class="subsection">7.10.1 <code>.bundle_align_mode <var>abs-expr</var></code></h4>
<a name="index-bundle_005falign_005fmode-directive"></a>
<a name="index-bundle"></a>
<a name="index-instruction-bundle"></a>
<a name="index-aligned-instruction-bundle"></a>
<p><code>.bundle_align_mode</code> enables or disables <em>aligned instruction
bundle</em> mode. In this mode, sequences of adjacent instructions are grouped
into fixed-sized <em>bundles</em>. If the argument is zero, this mode is
disabled (which is the default state). If the argument it not zero, it
gives the size of an instruction bundle as a power of two (as for the
<code>.p2align</code> directive, see <a href="#P2align">P2align</a>).
</p>
<p>For some targets, it&rsquo;s an ABI requirement that no instruction may span a
certain aligned boundary. A <em>bundle</em> is simply a sequence of
instructions that starts on an aligned boundary. For example, if
<var>abs-expr</var> is <code>5</code> then the bundle size is 32, so each aligned
chunk of 32 bytes is a bundle. When aligned instruction bundle mode is in
effect, no single instruction may span a boundary between bundles. If an
instruction would start too close to the end of a bundle for the length of
that particular instruction to fit within the bundle, then the space at the
end of that bundle is filled with no-op instructions so the instruction
starts in the next bundle. As a corollary, it&rsquo;s an error if any single
instruction&rsquo;s encoding is longer than the bundle size.
</p>
<a name="g_t_002ebundle_005flock-and-_002ebundle_005funlock"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">7.10.2 <code>.bundle_lock</code> and <code>.bundle_unlock</code></h4>
<a name="index-bundle_005flock-directive"></a>
<a name="index-bundle_005funlock-directive"></a>
<p>The <code>.bundle_lock</code> and directive <code>.bundle_unlock</code> directives
allow explicit control over instruction bundle padding. These directives
are only valid when <code>.bundle_align_mode</code> has been used to enable
aligned instruction bundle mode. It&rsquo;s an error if they appear when
<code>.bundle_align_mode</code> has not been used at all, or when the last
directive was <code><span class="nolinebreak">.bundle_align_mode</span>&nbsp;0</code><!-- /@w -->.
</p>
<a name="index-bundle_002dlocked"></a>
<p>For some targets, it&rsquo;s an ABI requirement that certain instructions may
appear only as part of specified permissible sequences of multiple
instructions, all within the same bundle. A pair of <code>.bundle_lock</code>
and <code>.bundle_unlock</code> directives define a <em>bundle-locked</em>
instruction sequence. For purposes of aligned instruction bundle mode, a
sequence starting with <code>.bundle_lock</code> and ending with
<code>.bundle_unlock</code> is treated as a single instruction. That is, the
entire sequence must fit into a single bundle and may not span a bundle
boundary. If necessary, no-op instructions will be inserted before the
first instruction of the sequence so that the whole sequence starts on an
aligned bundle boundary. It&rsquo;s an error if the sequence is longer than the
bundle size.
</p>
<p>For convenience when using <code>.bundle_lock</code> and <code>.bundle_unlock</code>
inside assembler macros (see <a href="#Macro">Macro</a>), bundle-locked sequences may be
nested. That is, a second <code>.bundle_lock</code> directive before the next
<code>.bundle_unlock</code> directive has no effect except that it must be
matched by another closing <code>.bundle_unlock</code> so that there is the
same number of <code>.bundle_lock</code> and <code>.bundle_unlock</code> directives.

<a name="index-cfi_005fsections-directive"></a>
<p><code>.cfi_sections</code> may be used to specify whether CFI directives
should emit <code>.eh_frame</code> section and/or <code>.debug_frame</code> section.
If <var>section_list</var> is <code>.eh_frame</code>, <code>.eh_frame</code> is emitted,
if <var>section_list</var> is <code>.debug_frame</code>, <code>.debug_frame</code> is emitted.
To emit both use <code>.eh_frame, .debug_frame</code>. The default if this
directive is not used is <code>.cfi_sections .eh_frame</code>.
</p>
<p>On targets that support compact unwinding tables these can be generated
by specifying <code>.eh_frame_entry</code> instead of <code>.eh_frame</code>.
</p>
<p>Some targets may support an additional name, such as <code>.c6xabi.exidx</code>
which is used by the target.
</p>
<p>The <code>.cfi_sections</code> directive can be repeated, with the same or different
arguments, provided that CFI generation has not yet started. Once CFI
generation has started however the section list is fixed and any attempts to
redefine it will result in an error.

</p>
<p>The table header and unwinding opcodes will be generated at this point,
so that they are immediately followed by the LSDA data. The symbol

<h4 class="subsection">7.12.20 <code>.cfi_remember_state</code> and <code>.cfi_restore_state</code></h4>
<p><code>.cfi_remember_state</code> pushes the set of rules for every register onto an
implicit stack, while <code>.cfi_restore_state</code> pops them off the stack and
places them in the current row. This is useful for situations where you have
multiple <code>.cfi_*</code> directives that need to be undone due to the control
flow of the program. For example, we could have something like this (assuming
the CFA is the value of <code>rbp</code>):
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> je label
popq %rbx
.cfi_restore %rbx
popq %r12
.cfi_restore %r12
popq %rbp
.cfi_restore %rbp
.cfi_def_cfa %rsp, 8
ret
label:
/* Do something else */
</pre></div>
<p>Here, we want the <code>.cfi</code> directives to affect only the rows corresponding
to the instructions before <code>label</code>. This means we&rsquo;d have to add multiple
<code>.cfi</code> directives after <code>label</code> to recreate the original save
locations of the registers, as well as setting the CFA back to the value of
<code>rbp</code>. This would be clumsy, and result in a larger binary size. Instead,
we can write:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> je label
popq %rbx
.cfi_remember_state
.cfi_restore %rbx
popq %r12
.cfi_restore %r12
popq %rbp
.cfi_restore %rbp
.cfi_def_cfa %rsp, 8
ret
label:
.cfi_restore_state
/* Do something else */
</pre></div>
<p>That way, the rules for the instructions after <code>label</code> will be the same
as before the first <code>.cfi_restore</code> without having to use multiple
<code>.cfi</code> directives.

</p>
<p>The usefulness of equating a register to a fixed label is probably
limited to the return address register. Here, it can be useful to
mark a code segment that has only one return address which is reached
by a direct branch and no copy of the return address exists in memory

<p><code>.comm</code> declares a common symbol named <var>symbol</var>. When linking, a
common symbol in one object file may be merged with a defined or common symbol
of the same name in another object file. If <code>ld</code> does not see a
definition for the symbol&ndash;just one or more common symbols&ndash;then it will
allocate <var>length</var> bytes of uninitialized memory. <var>length</var> must be an
absolute expression. If <code>ld</code> sees multiple common symbols with
the same name, and they do not all have the same size, it will allocate space
using the largest size.
</p>
<p>When using ELF or (as a GNU extension) PE, the <code>.comm</code> directive takes
an optional third argument. This is the desired alignment of the symbol,
specified for ELF as a byte boundary (for example, an alignment of 16 means
that the least significant 4 bits of the address should be zero), and for PE
as a power of two (for example, an alignment of 5 means aligned to a 32-byte
boundary). The alignment must be an absolute expression, and it must be a
power of two. If <code>ld</code> allocates uninitialized memory for the
common symbol, it will use the alignment when placing the symbol. If no
alignment is specified, <code>as</code> will set the alignment to the
largest power of two less than or equal to the size of the symbol, up to a
maximum of 16 on ELF, or the default section alignment of 4 on PE<a name="DOCF1" href="#FOOT1"><sup>1</sup></a>.
</p>
<p>The syntax for <code>.comm</code> differs slightly on the HPPA. The syntax is

<h3 class="section">7.37 <code>.file</code></h3>
<a name="index-file-directive"></a>
<p>There are two different versions of the <code>.file</code> directive. Targets
that support DWARF2 line number information use the DWARF2 version of
<code>.file</code>. Other targets use the default version.
</p>
<a name="Default-Version"></a>
<h4 class="subheading">Default Version</h4>
<a name="index-logical-file-name"></a>
<a name="index-file-name_002c-logical"></a>
<p>This version of the <code>.file</code> directive tells <code>as</code> that we
are about to start a new logical file. The syntax is:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.file <var>string</var>
</pre></div>
<p><var>string</var> is the new file name. In general, the filename is
recognized whether or not it is surrounded by quotes &lsquo;<samp>&quot;</samp>&rsquo;; but if you wish
to specify an empty file name, you must give the quotes&ndash;<code>&quot;&quot;</code>. This
statement may go away in future: it is only recognized to be compatible with
old <code>as</code> programs.
</p>
<a name="DWARF2-Version"></a>
<h4 class="subheading">DWARF2 Version</h4>
<p>When emitting DWARF2 line number information, <code>.file</code> assigns filenames
to the <code>.debug_line</code> file name table. The syntax is:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.file <var>fileno</var> <var>filename</var>
</pre></div>
<p>The <var>fileno</var> operand should be a unique positive integer to use as the
index of the entry in the table. The <var>filename</var> operand is a C string
literal enclosed in double quotes. The <var>filename</var> can include directory
elements. If it does, then the directory will be added to the directory table
and the basename will be added to the file table.
</p>
<p>The detail of filename indices is exposed to the user because the filename
table is shared with the <code>.debug_info</code> section of the DWARF2 debugging
information, and thus the user must know the exact indices that table
entries will have.
</p>
<p>If DWARF5 support has been enabled via the <samp>-gdwarf-5</samp> option then
an extended version of <code>.file</code> is also allowed:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.file <var>fileno</var> [<var>dirname</var>] <var>filename</var> [md5 <var>value</var>]
</pre></div>
<p>With this version a separate directory name is allowed, although if this is
used then <var>filename</var> should not contain any directory component, except
for <var>fileno</var> equal to 0: in this case, <var>dirname</var> is expected to be
the current directory and <var>filename</var> the currently processed file, and
the latter need not be located in the former. In addtion an MD5 hash value
of the contents of <var>filename</var> can be provided. This will be stored in
the the file table as well, and can be used by tools reading the debug
information to verify that the contents of the source file match the
contents of the compiled file.

<p><var>repeat</var>, <var>size</var> and <var>value</var> are absolute expressions.
This emits <var>repeat</var> copies of <var>size</var> bytes. <var>Repeat</var>
may be zero or more. <var>Size</var> may be zero or more, but if it is
more than 8, then it is deemed to have the value 8, compatible with
other people&rsquo;s assemblers. The contents of each <var>repeat</var> bytes
is taken from an 8-byte number. The highest order 4 bytes are
zero. The lowest order 4 bytes are <var>value</var> rendered in the
byte-order of an integer on the computer <code>as</code> is assembling for.
Each <var>size</var> bytes in a repetition is taken from the lowest order
<var>size</var> bytes of this number. Again, this bizarre behavior is
compatible with other people&rsquo;s assemblers.

.long \from
.if \to-\from
sum &quot;(\from+1)&quot;,\to

<p>With that definition, &lsquo;<samp>SUM 0,5</samp>&rsquo; is equivalent to this assembly input:

<dd><a name="index-macro-directive"></a>
<p>Begin the definition of a macro called <var>macname</var>. If your macro
definition requires arguments, specify their names after the macro name,
separated by commas or spaces. You can qualify the macro argument to
indicate whether all invocations must specify a non-blank value (through
&lsquo;<samp>:<code>req</code></samp>&rsquo;), or whether it takes all of the remaining arguments
(through &lsquo;<samp>:<code>vararg</code></samp>&rsquo;). You can supply a default value for any
macro argument by following the name with &lsquo;<samp>=<var>deflt</var></samp>&rsquo;. You
cannot define two macros with the same <var>macname</var> unless it has been
subject to the <code>.purgem</code> directive (see <a href="#Purgem">Purgem</a>) between the two
definitions. For example, these are all valid <code>.macro</code> statements:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>.macro comm</code></dt>
<dd><p>Begin the definition of a macro called <code>comm</code>, which takes no
arguments.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.macro plus1 p, p1</code></dt>
<dt><code>.macro plus1 p p1</code></dt>
<dd><p>Either statement begins the definition of a macro called <code>plus1</code>,
which takes two arguments; within the macro definition, write
&lsquo;<samp>\p</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>\p1</samp>&rsquo; to evaluate the arguments.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.macro reserve_str p1=0 p2</code></dt>
<dd><p>Begin the definition of a macro called <code>reserve_str</code>, with two
arguments. The first argument has a default value, but not the second.
After the definition is complete, you can call the macro either as
&lsquo;<samp>reserve_str <var>a</var>,<var>b</var></samp>&rsquo; (with &lsquo;<samp>\p1</samp>&rsquo; evaluating to
<var>a</var> and &lsquo;<samp>\p2</samp>&rsquo; evaluating to <var>b</var>), or as &lsquo;<samp>reserve_str
,<var>b</var></samp>&rsquo; (with &lsquo;<samp>\p1</samp>&rsquo; evaluating as the default, in this case
&lsquo;<samp>0</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>\p2</samp>&rsquo; evaluating to <var>b</var>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.macro m p1:req, p2=0, p3:vararg</code></dt>
<dd><p>Begin the definition of a macro called <code>m</code>, with at least three
arguments. The first argument must always have a value specified, but
not the second, which instead has a default value. The third formal
will get assigned all remaining arguments specified at invocation time.
</p>
<p>When you call a macro, you can specify the argument values either by
position, or by keyword. For example, &lsquo;<samp>sum 9,17</samp>&rsquo; is equivalent to
&lsquo;<samp>sum to=17, from=9</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>Note that since each of the <var>macargs</var> can be an identifier exactly
as any other one permitted by the target architecture, there may be
occasional problems if the target hand-crafts special meanings to certain
characters when they occur in a special position. For example, if the colon
(<code>:</code>) is generally permitted to be part of a symbol name, but the
architecture specific code special-cases it when occurring as the final
character of a symbol (to denote a label), then the macro parameter
replacement code will have no way of knowing that and consider the whole
construct (including the colon) an identifier, and check only this
identifier for being the subject to parameter substitution. So for example
this macro definition:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"> .macro label l
\l:
.endm
</pre></div>
<p>might not work as expected. Invoking &lsquo;<samp>label foo</samp>&rsquo; might not create a label
called &lsquo;<samp>foo</samp>&rsquo; but instead just insert the text &lsquo;<samp>\l:</samp>&rsquo; into the
assembler source, probably generating an error about an unrecognised
identifier.
</p>
<p>Similarly problems might occur with the period character (&lsquo;<samp>.</samp>&rsquo;)
which is often allowed inside opcode names (and hence identifier names). So
for example constructing a macro to build an opcode from a base name and a
length specifier like this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"> .macro opcode base length
\base.\length
.endm
</pre></div>
<p>and invoking it as &lsquo;<samp>opcode store l</samp>&rsquo; will not create a &lsquo;<samp>store.l</samp>&rsquo;
instruction but instead generate some kind of error as the assembler tries to
interpret the text &lsquo;<samp>\base.\length</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>There are several possible ways around this problem:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>Insert white space</code></dt>
<dd><p>If it is possible to use white space characters then this is the simplest
solution. eg:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"> .macro label l
\l :
.endm
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>Use &lsquo;<samp>\()</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>The string &lsquo;<samp>\()</samp>&rsquo; can be used to separate the end of a macro argument from
the following text. eg:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"> .macro opcode base length
\base\().\length
.endm
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>Use the alternate macro syntax mode</code></dt>
<dd><p>In the alternative macro syntax mode the ampersand character (&lsquo;<samp>&amp;</samp>&rsquo;) can be
used as a separator. eg:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"> .altmacro
.macro label l
l&amp;:
.endm
</pre></div>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>Note: this problem of correctly identifying string parameters to pseudo ops
also applies to the identifiers used in <code>.irp</code> (see <a href="#Irp">Irp</a>)
and <code>.irpc</code> (see <a href="#Irpc">Irpc</a>) as well.
</p>
<p>Another issue can occur with the actual arguments passed during macro
invocation: Multiple arguments can be separated by blanks or commas. To have
arguments actually contain blanks or commas (or potentially other non-alpha-
numeric characters), individual arguments will need to be enclosed in either
parentheses <code>()</code>, square brackets <code>[]</code>, or double quote <code>&quot;</code>
characters. The latter may be the only viable option in certain situations,
as only double quotes are actually stripped while establishing arguments. It
may be important to be aware of two escaping models used when processing such
quoted argument strings: For one two adjacent double quotes represent a single
double quote in the resulting argument, going along the lines of the stripping
of the enclosing quotes. But then double quotes can also be escaped by a
backslash <code>\</code>, but this backslash will not be retained in the resulting
actual argument as then seen / used while expanding the macro.
</p>
<p>As a consequence to the first of these escaping mechanisms two string literals
intended to be representing separate macro arguments need to be separated by
white space (or, better yet, by a comma). To state it differently, such
adjacent string literals - even if separated only by a blank - will not be
concatenated when determining macro arguments, even if they&rsquo;re only separated
by white space. This is unlike certain other pseudo ops, e.g. <code>.ascii</code>.

<a name="index-filling-memory-with-no_002dop-instructions"></a>
<p>This directive emits no-op instructions. It is provided on all architectures,
allowing the creation of architecture neutral tests involving actual code. The
size of the generated instruction is target specific, but if the optional
<var>size</var> argument is given and resolves to an absolute positive value at that
point in assembly (no forward expressions allowed) then the fewest no-op
instructions are emitted that equal or exceed a total <var>size</var> in bytes.
<code>.nop</code> does affect the generation of DWARF debug line information.
Some targets do not support using <code>.nop</code> with <var>size</var>.

<p>This directive emits no-op instructions. It is specific to the Intel 80386 and
AMD x86-64 targets. It takes a <var>size</var> argument and generates <var>size</var>
bytes of no-op instructions. <var>size</var> must be absolute and positive. These
bytes do not affect the generation of DWARF debug line information.
</p>
<p>The optional <var>control</var> argument specifies a size limit for a single no-op
instruction. If not provided then a value of 0 is assumed. The valid values
of <var>control</var> are between 0 and 4 in 16-bit mode, between 0 and 7 when
tuning for older processors in 32-bit mode, between 0 and 11 in 64-bit mode or
when tuning for newer processors in 32-bit mode. When 0 is used, the no-op
instruction size limit is set to the maximum supported size.

<a name="index-current-address_002c-advancing"></a>
<p>Advance the location counter of the current section to
<var>new-lc</var>. <var>new-lc</var> is either an absolute expression or an
expression with the same section as the current subsection. That is,
you can&rsquo;t use <code>.org</code> to cross sections: if <var>new-lc</var> has the
wrong section, the <code>.org</code> directive is ignored. To be compatible
with former assemblers, if the section of <var>new-lc</var> is absolute,
<code>as</code> issues a warning, then pretends the section of <var>new-lc</var>
is the same as the current subsection.
</p>
<p><code>.org</code> may only increase the location counter, or leave it
unchanged; you cannot use <code>.org</code> to move the location counter
backwards.
</p>
<p>Because <code>as</code> tries to assemble programs in one pass, <var>new-lc</var>
may not be undefined. If you really detest this restriction we eagerly await
a chance to share your improved assembler.
</p>
<p>Beware that the origin is relative to the start of the section, not
to the start of the subsection. This is compatible with other
people&rsquo;s assemblers.
</p>
<p>When the location counter (of the current subsection) is advanced, the
intervening bytes are filled with <var>fill</var> which should be an
absolute expression. If the comma and <var>fill</var> are omitted,
<var>fill</var> defaults to zero.

<a name="index-p2align-directive"></a>
<p>Pad the location counter (in the current subsection) to a particular
storage boundary. The first expression (which must be absolute) is the
number of low-order zero bits the location counter must have after
advancement. For example &lsquo;<samp>.p2align 3</samp>&rsquo; advances the location
counter until it is a multiple of 8. If the location counter is already a
multiple of 8, no change is needed. If the expression is omitted then a
default value of 0 is used, effectively disabling alignment requirements.
</p>
<p>The second expression (also absolute) gives the fill value to be stored in the
padding bytes. It (and the comma) may be omitted. If it is omitted, the
padding bytes are normally zero. However, on most systems, if the section is
marked as containing code and the fill value is omitted, the space is filled
with no-op instructions.
</p>
<p>The third expression is also absolute, and is also optional. If it is present,
it is the maximum number of bytes that should be skipped by this alignment
directive. If doing the alignment would require skipping more bytes than the
specified maximum, then the alignment is not done at all. You can omit the
fill value (the second argument) entirely by simply using two commas after the
required alignment; this can be useful if you want the alignment to be filled
with no-op instructions when appropriate.

<a name="index-p2alignw-directive"></a>
<a name="index-p2alignl-directive"></a>
<p>The <code>.p2alignw</code> and <code>.p2alignl</code> directives are variants of the
<code>.p2align</code> directive. The <code>.p2alignw</code> directive treats the fill
pattern as a two byte word value. The <code>.p2alignl</code> directives treats the
fill pattern as a four byte longword value. For example, <code>.p2alignw
2,0x368d</code> will align to a multiple of 4. If it skips two bytes, they will be
filled in with the value 0x368d (the exact placement of the bytes depends upon
the endianness of the processor). If it skips 1 or 3 bytes, the fill value is
undefined.

<h3 class="section">7.85 <code>.section <var>name</var></code></h3>
<a name="index-named-section"></a>
<p>Use the <code>.section</code> directive to assemble the following code into a section
named <var>name</var>.
</p>
<p>This directive is only supported for targets that actually support arbitrarily
named sections; on <code>a.out</code> targets, for example, it is not accepted, even
with a standard <code>a.out</code> section name.
</p>
<a name="COFF-Version"></a>
<h4 class="subheading">COFF Version</h4>
<a name="index-section-directive-_0028COFF-version_0029"></a>
<p>For COFF targets, the <code>.section</code> directive is used in one of the following
ways:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.section <var>name</var>[, &quot;<var>flags</var>&quot;]
.section <var>name</var>[, <var>subsection</var>]
</pre></div>
<p>If the optional argument is quoted, it is taken as flags to use for the
section. Each flag is a single character. The following flags are recognized:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>b</code></dt>
<dd><p>bss section (uninitialized data)
</p></dd>
<dt><code>n</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is not loaded
</p></dd>
<dt><code>w</code></dt>
<dd><p>writable section
</p></dd>
<dt><code>d</code></dt>
<dd><p>data section
</p></dd>
<dt><code>e</code></dt>
<dd><p>exclude section from linking
</p></dd>
<dt><code>r</code></dt>
<dd><p>read-only section
</p></dd>
<dt><code>x</code></dt>
<dd><p>executable section
</p></dd>
<dt><code>s</code></dt>
<dd><p>shared section (meaningful for PE targets)
</p></dd>
<dt><code>a</code></dt>
<dd><p>ignored. (For compatibility with the ELF version)
</p></dd>
<dt><code>y</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is not readable (meaningful for PE targets)
</p></dd>
<dt><code>0-9</code></dt>
<dd><p>single-digit power-of-two section alignment (GNU extension)
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>If no flags are specified, the default flags depend upon the section name. If
the section name is not recognized, the default will be for the section to be
loaded and writable. Note the <code>n</code> and <code>w</code> flags remove attributes
from the section, rather than adding them, so if they are used on their own it
will be as if no flags had been specified at all.
</p>
<p>If the optional argument to the <code>.section</code> directive is not quoted, it is
taken as a subsection number (see <a href="#Sub_002dSections">Sub-Sections</a>).
</p>
<a name="ELF-Version"></a>
<h4 class="subheading">ELF Version</h4>
<a name="index-Section-Stack-3"></a>
<p>This is one of the ELF section stack manipulation directives. The others are
<code>.subsection</code> (see <a href="#SubSection">SubSection</a>), <code>.pushsection</code>
(see <a href="#PushSection">PushSection</a>), <code>.popsection</code> (see <a href="#PopSection">PopSection</a>), and
<code>.previous</code> (see <a href="#Previous">Previous</a>).
</p>
<a name="index-section-directive-_0028ELF-version_0029"></a>
<p>For ELF targets, the <code>.section</code> directive is used like this:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.section <var>name</var> [, &quot;<var>flags</var>&quot;[, @<var>type</var>[,<var>flag_specific_arguments</var>]]]
</pre></div>
<a name="Section-Name-Substitutions"></a><a name="index-_002d_002dsectname_002dsubst"></a>
<a name="index-section-name-substitution"></a>
<p>If the &lsquo;<samp>--sectname-subst</samp>&rsquo; command-line option is provided, the <var>name</var>
argument may contain a substitution sequence. Only <code>%S</code> is supported
at the moment, and substitutes the current section name. For example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.macro exception_code
.section %S.exception
[exception code here]
.previous
.endm
.text
[code]
exception_code
[...]
.section .init
[init code]
exception_code
[...]
</pre></div>
<p>The two <code>exception_code</code> invocations above would create the
<code>.text.exception</code> and <code>.init.exception</code> sections respectively.
This is useful e.g. to discriminate between ancillary sections that are
tied to setup code to be discarded after use from ancillary sections that
need to stay resident without having to define multiple <code>exception_code</code>
macros just for that purpose.
</p>
<p>The optional <var>flags</var> argument is a quoted string which may contain any
combination of the following characters:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>a</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is allocatable
</p></dd>
<dt><code>d</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is a GNU_MBIND section
</p></dd>
<dt><code>e</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is excluded from executable and shared library.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>o</code></dt>
<dd><p>section references a symbol defined in another section (the linked-to
section) in the same file.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>w</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is writable
</p></dd>
<dt><code>x</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is executable
</p></dd>
<dt><code>M</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is mergeable
</p></dd>
<dt><code>S</code></dt>
<dd><p>section contains zero terminated strings
</p></dd>
<dt><code>G</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is a member of a section group
</p></dd>
<dt><code>T</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is used for thread-local-storage
</p></dd>
<dt><code>?</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is a member of the previously-current section&rsquo;s group, if any
</p></dd>
<dt><code>R</code></dt>
<dd><p>retained section (apply SHF_GNU_RETAIN to prevent linker garbage
collection, GNU ELF extension)
</p></dd>
<dt><code><code>&lt;number&gt;</code></code></dt>
<dd><p>a numeric value indicating the bits to be set in the ELF section header&rsquo;s flags
field. Note - if one or more of the alphabetic characters described above is
also included in the flags field, their bit values will be ORed into the
resulting value.
</p></dd>
<dt><code><code>&lt;target specific&gt;</code></code></dt>
<dd><p>some targets extend this list with their own flag characters
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>Note - once a section&rsquo;s flags have been set they cannot be changed. There are
a few exceptions to this rule however. Processor and application specific
flags can be added to an already defined section. The <code>.interp</code>,
<code>.strtab</code> and <code>.symtab</code> sections can have the allocate flag
(<code>a</code>) set after they are initially defined, and the <code>.note-GNU-stack</code>
section may have the executable (<code>x</code>) flag added. Also note that the
<code>.attach_to_group</code> directive can be used to add a section to a group even
if the section was not originally declared to be part of that group.
</p>
<p>The optional <var>type</var> argument may contain one of the following constants:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>@progbits</code></dt>
<dd><p>section contains data
</p></dd>
<dt><code>@nobits</code></dt>
<dd><p>section does not contain data (i.e., section only occupies space)
</p></dd>
<dt><code>@note</code></dt>
<dd><p>section contains data which is used by things other than the program
</p></dd>
<dt><code>@init_array</code></dt>
<dd><p>section contains an array of pointers to init functions
</p></dd>
<dt><code>@fini_array</code></dt>
<dd><p>section contains an array of pointers to finish functions
</p></dd>
<dt><code>@preinit_array</code></dt>
<dd><p>section contains an array of pointers to pre-init functions
</p></dd>
<dt><code>@<code>&lt;number&gt;</code></code></dt>
<dd><p>a numeric value to be set as the ELF section header&rsquo;s type field.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>@<code>&lt;target specific&gt;</code></code></dt>
<dd><p>some targets extend this list with their own types
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>Many targets only support the first three section types. The type may be
enclosed in double quotes if necessary.
</p>
<p>Note on targets where the <code>@</code> character is the start of a comment (eg
ARM) then another character is used instead. For example the ARM port uses the
<code>%</code> character.
</p>
<p>Note - some sections, eg <code>.text</code> and <code>.data</code> are considered to be
special and have fixed types. Any attempt to declare them with a different
type will generate an error from the assembler.
</p>
<p>If <var>flags</var> contains the <code>M</code> symbol then the <var>type</var> argument must
be specified as well as an extra argument&mdash;<var>entsize</var>&mdash;like this:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.section <var>name</var> , &quot;<var>flags</var>&quot;M, @<var>type</var>, <var>entsize</var>
</pre></div>
<p>Sections with the <code>M</code> flag but not <code>S</code> flag must contain fixed size
constants, each <var>entsize</var> octets long. Sections with both <code>M</code> and
<code>S</code> must contain zero terminated strings where each character is
<var>entsize</var> bytes long. The linker may remove duplicates within sections with
the same name, same entity size and same flags. <var>entsize</var> must be an
absolute expression. For sections with both <code>M</code> and <code>S</code>, a string
which is a suffix of a larger string is considered a duplicate. Thus
<code>&quot;def&quot;</code> will be merged with <code>&quot;abcdef&quot;</code>; A reference to the first
<code>&quot;def&quot;</code> will be changed to a reference to <code>&quot;abcdef&quot;+3</code>.
</p>
<p>If <var>flags</var> contains the <code>o</code> flag, then the <var>type</var> argument
must be present along with an additional field like this:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.section <var>name</var>,&quot;<var>flags</var>&quot;o,@<var>type</var>,<var>SymbolName</var>|<var>SectionIndex</var>
</pre></div>
<p>The <var>SymbolName</var> field specifies the symbol name which the section
references. Alternatively a numeric <var>SectionIndex</var> can be provided. This
is not generally a good idea as section indicies are rarely known at assembly
time, but the facility is provided for testing purposes. An index of zero is
allowed. It indicates that the linked-to section has already been discarded.
</p>
<p>Note: If both the <var>M</var> and <var>o</var> flags are present, then the fields
for the Merge flag should come first, like this:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.section <var>name</var>,&quot;<var>flags</var>&quot;Mo,@<var>type</var>,<var>entsize</var>,<var>SymbolName</var>
</pre></div>
<p>If <var>flags</var> contains the <code>G</code> symbol then the <var>type</var> argument must
be present along with an additional field like this:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.section <var>name</var> , &quot;<var>flags</var>&quot;G, @<var>type</var>, <var>GroupName</var>[, <var>linkage</var>]
</pre></div>
<p>The <var>GroupName</var> field specifies the name of the section group to which this
particular section belongs. The optional linkage field can contain:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>comdat</code></dt>
<dd><p>indicates that only one copy of this section should be retained
</p></dd>
<dt><code>.gnu.linkonce</code></dt>
<dd><p>an alias for comdat
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>Note: if both the <var>M</var> and <var>G</var> flags are present then the fields for
the Merge flag should come first, like this:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.section <var>name</var> , &quot;<var>flags</var>&quot;MG, @<var>type</var>, <var>entsize</var>, <var>GroupName</var>[, <var>linkage</var>]
</pre></div>
<p>If both <code>o</code> flag and <code>G</code> flag are present, then the
<var>SymbolName</var> field for <code>o</code> comes first, like this:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.section <var>name</var>,&quot;<var>flags</var>&quot;oG,@<var>type</var>,<var>SymbolName</var>,<var>GroupName</var>[,<var>linkage</var>]
</pre></div>
<p>If <var>flags</var> contains the <code>?</code> symbol then it may not also contain the
<code>G</code> symbol and the <var>GroupName</var> or <var>linkage</var> fields should not be
present. Instead, <code>?</code> says to consider the section that&rsquo;s current before
this directive. If that section used <code>G</code>, then the new section will use
<code>G</code> with those same <var>GroupName</var> and <var>linkage</var> fields implicitly.
If not, then the <code>?</code> symbol has no effect.
</p>
<p>The optional <var>unique,<code>&lt;number&gt;</code></var> argument must come last. It
assigns <var><code>&lt;number&gt;</code></var> as a unique section ID to distinguish
different sections with the same section name like these:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.section <var>name</var>,&quot;<var>flags</var>&quot;,@<var>type</var>,<var>unique,<code>&lt;number&gt;</code></var>
.section <var>name</var>,&quot;<var>flags</var>&quot;G,@<var>type</var>,<var>GroupName</var>,[<var>linkage</var>],<var>unique,<code>&lt;number&gt;</code></var>
.section <var>name</var>,&quot;<var>flags</var>&quot;MG,@<var>type</var>,<var>entsize</var>,<var>GroupName</var>[,<var>linkage</var>],<var>unique,<code>&lt;number&gt;</code></var>
</pre></div>
<p>The valid values of <var><code>&lt;number&gt;</code></var> are between 0 and 4294967295.
</p>
<p>If no flags are specified, the default flags depend upon the section name. If
the section name is not recognized, the default will be for the section to have
none of the above flags: it will not be allocated in memory, nor writable, nor
executable. The section will contain data.
</p>
<p>For ELF targets, the assembler supports another type of <code>.section</code>
directive for compatibility with the Solaris assembler:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.section &quot;<var>name</var>&quot;[, <var>flags</var>...]
</pre></div>
<p>Note that the section name is quoted. There may be a sequence of comma
separated flags:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>#alloc</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is allocatable
</p></dd>
<dt><code>#write</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is writable
</p></dd>
<dt><code>#execinstr</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is executable
</p></dd>
<dt><code>#exclude</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is excluded from executable and shared library.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>#tls</code></dt>
<dd><p>section is used for thread local storage
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>This directive replaces the current section and subsection. See the
contents of the gas testsuite directory <code>gas/testsuite/gas/elf</code> for
some examples of how this directive and the other section stack directives
work.

</p>
<p>You may <code>.set</code> a symbol many times in the same assembly provided that the
values given to the symbol are constants. Values that are based on expressions
involving other symbols are allowed, but some targets may restrict this to only
being done once per assembly. This is because those targets do not set the
addresses of symbols at assembly time, but rather delay the assignment until a
final link is performed. This allows the linker a chance to change the code in
the files, changing the location of, and the relative distance between, various
different symbols.
</p>
<p>If you <code>.set</code> a global symbol, the value stored in the object
file is the last value stored into it.
</p>
<p>On Z80 <code>set</code> is a real instruction, use <code>.set</code> or

<dl compact="compact">
<dt><var>string</var></dt>
<dd><p>This is the symbol&rsquo;s name. It may contain any character except
&lsquo;<samp>\000</samp>&rsquo;, so is more general than ordinary symbol names. Some
debuggers used to code arbitrarily complex structures into symbol names
using this field.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>type</var></dt>
<dd><p>An absolute expression. The symbol&rsquo;s type is set to the low 8 bits of
this expression. Any bit pattern is permitted, but <code>ld</code>
and debuggers choke on silly bit patterns.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>other</var></dt>
<dd><p>An absolute expression. The symbol&rsquo;s &ldquo;other&rdquo; attribute is set to the
low 8 bits of this expression.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>desc</var></dt>
<dd><p>An absolute expression. The symbol&rsquo;s descriptor is set to the low 16
bits of this expression.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>value</var></dt>
<dd><p>An absolute expression which becomes the symbol&rsquo;s value.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>If a warning is detected while reading a <code>.stabd</code>, <code>.stabn</code>,
or <code>.stabs</code> statement, the symbol has probably already been created;
you get a half-formed symbol in your object file. This is
compatible with earlier assemblers!

<dt><code>.stabd <var>type</var> , <var>other</var> , <var>desc</var></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>The &ldquo;name&rdquo; of the symbol generated is not even an empty string.
It is a null pointer, for compatibility. Older assemblers used a
null pointer so they didn&rsquo;t waste space in object files with empty
strings.
</p>
<p>The symbol&rsquo;s value is set to the location counter,
relocatably. When your program is linked, the value of this symbol
is the address of the location counter when the <code>.stabd</code> was
assembled.

<p>Copy the characters in <var>str</var> to the object file. You may specify more than
one string to copy, separated by commas. Unless otherwise specified for a
particular machine, the assembler marks the end of each string with a 0 byte.
You can use any of the escape sequences described in <a href="#Strings">Strings</a>.
</p>
<p>The variants <code>string16</code>, <code>string32</code> and <code>string64</code> differ from
the <code>string</code> pseudo opcode in that each 8-bit character from <var>str</var> is
copied and expanded to 16, 32 or 64 bits respectively. The expanded characters
are stored in target endianness byte order.
</p>
<p>Example:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .string32 &quot;BYE&quot;
expands to:
.string &quot;B\0\0\0Y\0\0\0E\0\0\0&quot; /* On little endian targets. */

<h3 class="section">7.97 <code>.symver</code></h3>
<a name="index-symver-directive"></a>
<a name="index-symbol-versioning"></a>
<a name="index-versions-of-symbols"></a>
<p>Use the <code>.symver</code> directive to bind symbols to specific version nodes
within a source file. This is only supported on ELF platforms, and is
typically used when assembling files to be linked into a shared library.
There are cases where it may make sense to use this in objects to be bound
into an application itself so as to override a versioned symbol from a
shared library.
</p>
<p>For ELF targets, the <code>.symver</code> directive can be used like this:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.symver <var>name</var>, <var>name2@nodename</var>[ ,<var>visibility</var>]
</pre></div>
<p>If the original symbol <var>name</var> is defined within the file
being assembled, the <code>.symver</code> directive effectively creates a symbol
alias with the name <var>name2@nodename</var>, and in fact the main reason that we
just don&rsquo;t try and create a regular alias is that the <var>@</var> character isn&rsquo;t
permitted in symbol names. The <var>name2</var> part of the name is the actual name
of the symbol by which it will be externally referenced. The name <var>name</var>
itself is merely a name of convenience that is used so that it is possible to
have definitions for multiple versions of a function within a single source
file, and so that the compiler can unambiguously know which version of a
function is being mentioned. The <var>nodename</var> portion of the alias should be
the name of a node specified in the version script supplied to the linker when
building a shared library. If you are attempting to override a versioned
symbol from a shared library, then <var>nodename</var> should correspond to the
nodename of the symbol you are trying to override. The optional argument
<var>visibility</var> updates the visibility of the original symbol. The valid
visibilities are <code>local</code>, <code>hidden</code>, and <code>remove</code>. The
<code>local</code> visibility makes the original symbol a local symbol
(see <a href="#Local">Local</a>). The <code>hidden</code> visibility sets the visibility of the
original symbol to <code>hidden</code> (see <a href="#Hidden">Hidden</a>). The <code>remove</code>
visibility removes the original symbol from the symbol table. If visibility
isn&rsquo;t specified, the original symbol is unchanged.
</p>
<p>If the symbol <var>name</var> is not defined within the file being assembled, all
references to <var>name</var> will be changed to <var>name2@nodename</var>. If no
reference to <var>name</var> is made, <var>name2@nodename</var> will be removed from the
symbol table.
</p>
<p>Another usage of the <code>.symver</code> directive is:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.symver <var>name</var>, <var>name2@@nodename</var>
</pre></div>
<p>In this case, the symbol <var>name</var> must exist and be defined within
the file being assembled. It is similar to <var>name2@nodename</var>. The
difference is <var>name2@@nodename</var> will also be used to resolve
references to <var>name2</var> by the linker.
</p>
<p>The third usage of the <code>.symver</code> directive is:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.symver <var>name</var>, <var>name2@@@nodename</var>
</pre></div>
<p>When <var>name</var> is not defined within the
file being assembled, it is treated as <var>name2@nodename</var>. When
<var>name</var> is defined within the file being assembled, the symbol
name, <var>name</var>, will be changed to <var>name2@@nodename</var>.

<p>This sets the type of symbol <var>name</var> to be either a

below do not work on all architectures. The first variant will be accepted by
the GNU assembler on all architectures so that variant should be used for

<p>Changing between incompatible types other than from/to STT_NOTYPE will

<p>This directive sets the weak attribute on the comma separated list of symbol

<p>On COFF targets other than PE, weak symbols are a GNU extension. This
directive sets the weak attribute on the comma separated list of symbol
<code>names</code>. If the symbols do not already exist, they will be created.

<p>On the PE target, weak symbols are supported natively as weak aliases.

<h3 class="section">7.110 <code>.weakref <var>alias</var>, <var>target</var></code></h3>
<a name="index-weakref-directive"></a>
<p>This directive creates an alias to the target symbol that enables the symbol to
be referenced with weak-symbol semantics, but without actually making it weak.
If direct references or definitions of the symbol are present, then the symbol
will not be weak, but if all references to it are through weak references, the
symbol will be marked as weak in the symbol table.
</p>
<p>The effect is equivalent to moving all references to the alias to a separate
assembly source file, renaming the alias to the symbol in it, declaring the
symbol as weak there, and running a reloadable link to merge the object files
resulting from the assembly of the new source file and the old source file that
had the references to the alias removed.
</p>
<p>The alias itself never makes to the symbol table, and is entirely handled
within the assembler.

<p><em>Warning: Special Treatment to support Compilers</em>
</p></blockquote>
<p>Machines with a 32-bit address space, but that do less than 32-bit
addressing, require the following special treatment. If the machine of
interest to you does 32-bit addressing (or doesn&rsquo;t require it;
see <a href="#Machine-Dependencies">Machine Dependencies</a>), you can ignore this issue.
</p>
<p>In order to assemble compiler output into something that works,
<code>as</code> occasionally does strange things to &lsquo;<samp>.word</samp>&rsquo; directives.
Directives of the form &lsquo;<samp>.word sym1-sym2</samp>&rsquo; are often emitted by
compilers as part of jump tables. Therefore, when <code>as</code> assembles a
directive of the form &lsquo;<samp>.word sym1-sym2</samp>&rsquo;, and the difference between
<code>sym1</code> and <code>sym2</code> does not fit in 16 bits, <code>as</code>
creates a <em>secondary jump table</em>, immediately before the next label.
This secondary jump table is preceded by a short-jump to the
first byte after the secondary table. This short-jump prevents the flow
of control from accidentally falling into the new table. Inside the
table is a long-jump to <code>sym2</code>. The original &lsquo;<samp>.word</samp>&rsquo;
contains <code>sym1</code> minus the address of the long-jump to
<code>sym2</code>.
</p>
<p>If there were several occurrences of &lsquo;<samp>.word sym1-sym2</samp>&rsquo; before the
secondary jump table, all of them are adjusted. If there was a
&lsquo;<samp>.word sym3-sym4</samp>&rsquo;, that also did not fit in sixteen bits, a
long-jump to <code>sym4</code> is included in the secondary jump table,
and the <code>.word</code> directives are adjusted to contain <code>sym3</code>
minus the address of the long-jump to <code>sym4</code>; and so on, for as many
entries in the original jump table as necessary.

<p><code>as</code> assembles source files written for a specific architecture
into object files for that architecture. But not all object files are alike.
Many architectures support incompatible variations. For instance, floating
point arguments might be passed in floating point registers if the object file
requires hardware floating point support&mdash;or floating point arguments might be
passed in integer registers if the object file supports processors with no
hardware floating point unit. Or, if two objects are built for different
generations of the same architecture, the combination may require the
newer generation at run-time.
</p>
<p>This information is useful during and after linking. At link time,
<code>ld</code> can warn about incompatible object files. After link
time, tools like <code>gdb</code> can use it to process the linked file
correctly.
</p>
<p>Compatibility information is recorded as a series of object attributes. Each
attribute has a <em>vendor</em>, <em>tag</em>, and <em>value</em>. The vendor is a
string, and indicates who sets the meaning of the tag. The tag is an integer,
and indicates what property the attribute describes. The value may be a string
or an integer, and indicates how the property affects this object. Missing
attributes are the same as attributes with a zero value or empty string value.
</p>
<p>Object attributes were developed as part of the ABI for the ARM Architecture.
The file format is documented in <cite>ELF for the ARM Architecture</cite>.

<p>The machine instruction sets are (almost by definition) different on
each machine where <code>as</code> runs. Floating point representations
vary as well, and <code>as</code> often supports a few additional
directives or command-line options for compatibility with other
assemblers on a particular platform. Finally, some versions of
<code>as</code> support special pseudo-instructions for branch
optimization.
</p>
<p>This chapter discusses most of these differences, though it does not
include details on any machine&rsquo;s instruction set. For details on that
subject, see the hardware manufacturer&rsquo;s manual.

The special name <code>all</code> may be used to allow the assembler to accept
instructions valid for any supported processor, including all optional
extensions.
</p>
<p>In addition to the basic instruction set, the assembler can be told to
accept, or restrict, various extension mnemonics that extend the
processor. See <a href="#AArch64-Extensions">AArch64 Extensions</a>.
</p>
<p>If some implementations of a particular processor can have an
extension, then then those extensions are automatically enabled.
Consequently, you will not normally have to specify any additional
extensions.

<h4 class="subsection">9.1.2 Architecture Extensions</h4>
<p>The table below lists the permitted architecture extensions that are
supported by the assembler and the conditions under which they are
automatically enabled.
</p>
<p>Multiple extensions may be specified, separated by a <code>+</code>.
Extension mnemonics may also be removed from those the assembler
accepts. This is done by prepending <code>no</code> to the option that adds
the extension. Extensions that are removed must be listed after all
extensions that have been added.
</p>
<p>Enabling an extension that requires other extensions will
automatically cause those extensions to be enabled. Similarly,
disabling an extension that is required by other extensions will
automatically cause those extensions to be disabled.

<h4 class="subsubsection">9.2.3.3 Relocations</h4>
<a name="index-Alpha-relocations"></a>
<a name="index-relocations_002c-Alpha"></a>
<p>Some of these relocations are available for ECOFF, but mostly
only for ELF. They are modeled after the relocation format
introduced in Digital Unix 4.0, but there are additions.
</p>
<p>The format is &lsquo;<samp>!<var>tag</var></samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>!<var>tag</var>!<var>number</var></samp>&rsquo;
where <var>tag</var> is the name of the relocation. In some cases
<var>number</var> is used to relate specific instructions.
</p>
<p>The relocation is placed at the end of the instruction like so:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">ldah $0,a($29) !gprelhigh
lda $0,a($0) !gprellow
ldq $1,b($29) !literal!100
ldl $2,0($1) !lituse_base!100
</pre></div>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>!literal</code></dt>
<dt><code>!literal!<var>N</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Used with an <code>ldq</code> instruction to load the address of a symbol
from the GOT.
</p>
<p>A sequence number <var>N</var> is optional, and if present is used to pair
<code>lituse</code> relocations with this <code>literal</code> relocation. The
<code>lituse</code> relocations are used by the linker to optimize the code
based on the final location of the symbol.
</p>
<p>Note that these optimizations are dependent on the data flow of the
program. Therefore, if <em>any</em> <code>lituse</code> is paired with a
<code>literal</code> relocation, then <em>all</em> uses of the register set by
the <code>literal</code> instruction must also be marked with <code>lituse</code>
relocations. This is because the original <code>literal</code> instruction
may be deleted or transformed into another instruction.
</p>
<p>Also note that there may be a one-to-many relationship between
<code>literal</code> and <code>lituse</code>, but not a many-to-one. That is, if
there are two code paths that load up the same address and feed the
value to a single use, then the use may not use a <code>lituse</code>
relocation.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>!lituse_base!<var>N</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Used with any memory format instruction (e.g. <code>ldl</code>) to indicate
that the literal is used for an address load. The offset field of the
instruction must be zero. During relaxation, the code may be altered
to use a gp-relative load.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>!lituse_jsr!<var>N</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Used with a register branch format instruction (e.g. <code>jsr</code>) to
indicate that the literal is used for a call. During relaxation, the
code may be altered to use a direct branch (e.g. <code>bsr</code>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>!lituse_jsrdirect!<var>N</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Similar to <code>lituse_jsr</code>, but also that this call cannot be vectored
through a PLT entry. This is useful for functions with special calling
conventions which do not allow the normal call-clobbered registers to be
clobbered.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>!lituse_bytoff!<var>N</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Used with a byte mask instruction (e.g. <code>extbl</code>) to indicate
that only the low 3 bits of the address are relevant. During relaxation,
the code may be altered to use an immediate instead of a register shift.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>!lituse_addr!<var>N</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Used with any other instruction to indicate that the original address
is in fact used, and the original <code>ldq</code> instruction may not be
altered or deleted. This is useful in conjunction with <code>lituse_jsr</code>
to test whether a weak symbol is defined.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">ldq $27,foo($29) !literal!1
beq $27,is_undef !lituse_addr!1
jsr $26,($27),foo !lituse_jsr!1
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>!lituse_tlsgd!<var>N</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Used with a register branch format instruction to indicate that the
literal is the call to <code>__tls_get_addr</code> used to compute the
address of the thread-local storage variable whose descriptor was
loaded with <code>!tlsgd!<var>N</var></code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>!lituse_tlsldm!<var>N</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Used with a register branch format instruction to indicate that the
literal is the call to <code>__tls_get_addr</code> used to compute the
address of the base of the thread-local storage block for the current
module. The descriptor for the module must have been loaded with
<code>!tlsldm!<var>N</var></code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>!gpdisp!<var>N</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Used with <code>ldah</code> and <code>lda</code> to load the GP from the current
address, a-la the <code>ldgp</code> macro. The source register for the
<code>ldah</code> instruction must contain the address of the <code>ldah</code>
instruction. There must be exactly one <code>lda</code> instruction paired
with the <code>ldah</code> instruction, though it may appear anywhere in
the instruction stream. The immediate operands must be zero.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">bsr $26,foo
ldah $29,0($26) !gpdisp!1
lda $29,0($29) !gpdisp!1
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>!gprelhigh</code></dt>
<dd><p>Used with an <code>ldah</code> instruction to add the high 16 bits of a
32-bit displacement from the GP.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>!gprellow</code></dt>
<dd><p>Used with any memory format instruction to add the low 16 bits of a
32-bit displacement from the GP.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>!gprel</code></dt>
<dd><p>Used with any memory format instruction to add a 16-bit displacement
from the GP.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>!samegp</code></dt>
<dd><p>Used with any branch format instruction to skip the GP load at the
target address. The referenced symbol must have the same GP as the
source object file, and it must be declared to either not use <code>$27</code>
or perform a standard GP load in the first two instructions via the
<code>.prologue</code> directive.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>!tlsgd</code></dt>
<dt><code>!tlsgd!<var>N</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Used with an <code>lda</code> instruction to load the address of a TLS
descriptor for a symbol in the GOT.
</p>
<p>The sequence number <var>N</var> is optional, and if present it used to
pair the descriptor load with both the <code>literal</code> loading the
address of the <code>__tls_get_addr</code> function and the <code>lituse_tlsgd</code>
marking the call to that function.
</p>
<p>For proper relaxation, both the <code>tlsgd</code>, <code>literal</code> and
<code>lituse</code> relocations must be in the same extended basic block.
That is, the relocation with the lowest address must be executed
first at runtime.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>!tlsldm</code></dt>
<dt><code>!tlsldm!<var>N</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Used with an <code>lda</code> instruction to load the address of a TLS

<h4 class="subsection">9.2.5 Alpha Assembler Directives</h4>
<p><code>as</code> for the Alpha supports many additional directives for
compatibility with the native assembler. This section describes them only
briefly.
</p>
<a name="index-Alpha_002donly-directives"></a>
<p>These are the additional directives in <code>as</code> for the Alpha:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>.arch <var>cpu</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Specifies the target processor. This is equivalent to the
<samp>-m<var>cpu</var></samp> command-line option. See <a href="#Alpha-Options">Options</a>,
for a list of values for <var>cpu</var>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.ent <var>function</var>[, <var>n</var>]</code></dt>
<dd><p>Mark the beginning of <var>function</var>. An optional number may follow for
compatibility with the OSF/1 assembler, but is ignored. When generating
<code>.mdebug</code> information, this will create a procedure descriptor for
the function. In ELF, it will mark the symbol as a function a-la the
generic <code>.type</code> directive.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.end <var>function</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Mark the end of <var>function</var>. In ELF, it will set the size of the symbol
a-la the generic <code>.size</code> directive.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.mask <var>mask</var>, <var>offset</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Indicate which of the integer registers are saved in the current
function&rsquo;s stack frame. <var>mask</var> is interpreted a bit mask in which
bit <var>n</var> set indicates that register <var>n</var> is saved. The registers
are saved in a block located <var>offset</var> bytes from the <em>canonical
frame address</em> (CFA) which is the value of the stack pointer on entry to
the function. The registers are saved sequentially, except that the
return address register (normally <code>$26</code>) is saved first.
</p>
<p>This and the other directives that describe the stack frame are
currently only used when generating <code>.mdebug</code> information. They
may in the future be used to generate DWARF2 <code>.debug_frame</code> unwind
information for hand written assembly.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.fmask <var>mask</var>, <var>offset</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Indicate which of the floating-point registers are saved in the current
stack frame. The <var>mask</var> and <var>offset</var> parameters are interpreted
as with <code>.mask</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.frame <var>framereg</var>, <var>frameoffset</var>, <var>retreg</var>[, <var>argoffset</var>]</code></dt>
<dd><p>Describes the shape of the stack frame. The frame pointer in use is
<var>framereg</var>; normally this is either <code>$fp</code> or <code>$sp</code>. The
frame pointer is <var>frameoffset</var> bytes below the CFA. The return
address is initially located in <var>retreg</var> until it is saved as
indicated in <code>.mask</code>. For compatibility with OSF/1 an optional
<var>argoffset</var> parameter is accepted and ignored. It is believed to
indicate the offset from the CFA to the saved argument registers.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.prologue <var>n</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Indicate that the stack frame is set up and all registers have been
spilled. The argument <var>n</var> indicates whether and how the function
uses the incoming <em>procedure vector</em> (the address of the called
function) in <code>$27</code>. 0 indicates that <code>$27</code> is not used; 1
indicates that the first two instructions of the function use <code>$27</code>
to perform a load of the GP register; 2 indicates that <code>$27</code> is
used in some non-standard way and so the linker cannot elide the load of
the procedure vector during relaxation.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.usepv <var>function</var>, <var>which</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Used to indicate the use of the <code>$27</code> register, similar to
<code>.prologue</code>, but without the other semantics of needing to
be inside an open <code>.ent</code>/<code>.end</code> block.
</p>
<p>The <var>which</var> argument should be either <code>no</code>, indicating that
<code>$27</code> is not used, or <code>std</code>, indicating that the first two
instructions of the function perform a GP load.
</p>
<p>One might use this directive instead of <code>.prologue</code> if you are
also using dwarf2 CFI directives.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.gprel32 <var>expression</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Computes the difference between the address in <var>expression</var> and the
GP for the current object file, and stores it in 4 bytes. In addition
to being smaller than a full 8 byte address, this also does not require
a dynamic relocation when used in a shared library.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.t_floating <var>expression</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Stores <var>expression</var> as an <small>IEEE</small> double precision value.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.s_floating <var>expression</var></code></dt>

<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>at</code></dt>
<dd><p>Indicates that macro expansions may clobber the <em>assembler

<dd><a name="index-extCondCode-directive_002c-ARC"></a>
<p>ARC supports extensible condition codes. This directive defines a new
condition code, to be known by the suffix, <var>suffix</var> and will
depend on the value, <var>val</var> in the condition code.
</p>
<p>For example:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example"> .extCondCode is_busy,0x14
add.is_busy r1,r2,r3
</pre></div>
<p>will only execute the <code>add</code> instruction if the condition code
value is 0x14.

<dt><code>.extCoreRegister <var>name</var>, <var>regnum</var>, <var>mode</var>, <var>shortcut</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-extCoreRegister-directive_002c-ARC"></a>
<p>Specifies an extension core register named <var>name</var> as a synonym for
the register numbered <var>regnum</var>. The register number must be
between 32 and 59. The third argument, <var>mode</var>, indicates whether
the register is readable and/or writable and is one of:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>r</code></dt>
<dd><p>Read only;
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>w</code></dt>
<dd><p>Write only;
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>r|w</code></dt>
<dd><p>Read and write.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>The final parameter, <var>shortcut</var> indicates whether the register has
a short cut in the pipeline. The valid values are:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>can_shortcut</code></dt>
<dd><p>The register has a short cut in the pipeline;
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>cannot_shortcut</code></dt>
<dd><p>The register does not have a short cut in the pipeline.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>For example:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example"> .extCoreRegister mlo, 57, r , can_shortcut
</pre></div>
<p>defines a read only extension core register, <code>mlo</code>, which is
register 57, and can short cut the pipeline.

<dd><a name="index-extInstruction-directive_002c-ARC"></a>
<p>ARC allows the user to specify extension instructions. These
extension instructions are not macros; the assembler creates encodings
for use of these instructions according to the specification by the
user.
</p>
<p>The first argument, <var>name</var>, gives the name of the instruction.
</p>
<p>The second argument, <var>opcode</var>, is the opcode to be used (bits 31:27
in the encoding).
</p>
<p>The third argument, <var>subopcode</var>, is the sub-opcode to be used, but
the correct value also depends on the fifth argument,
<var>syntaxclass</var>
</p>
<p>The fourth argument, <var>suffixclass</var>, determines the kinds of
suffixes to be allowed. Valid values are:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>SUFFIX_NONE</code></dt>
<dd><p>No suffixes are permitted;
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>SUFFIX_COND</code></dt>
<dd><p>Conditional suffixes are permitted;
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>SUFFIX_FLAG</code></dt>
<dd><p>Flag setting suffixes are permitted.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>SUFFIX_COND|SUFFIX_FLAG</code></dt>
<dd><p>Both conditional and flag setting suffices are permitted.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>The fifth and final argument, <var>syntaxclass</var>, determines the syntax
class for the instruction. It can have the following values:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>SYNTAX_2OP</code></dt>
<dd><p>Two Operand Instruction;
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>SYNTAX_3OP</code></dt>
<dd><p>Three Operand Instruction.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>SYNTAX_1OP</code></dt>
<dd><p>One Operand Instruction.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>SYNTAX_NOP</code></dt>
<dd><p>No Operand Instruction.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>The syntax class may be followed by &lsquo;<samp>|</samp>&rsquo; and one of the following
modifiers.
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>OP1_MUST_BE_IMM</code></dt>
<dd><p>Modifies syntax class <code>SYNTAX_3OP</code>, specifying that the first
operand of a three-operand instruction must be an immediate (i.e., the
result is discarded). This is usually used to set the flags using
specific instructions and not retain results.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>OP1_IMM_IMPLIED</code></dt>
<dd><p>Modifies syntax class <code>SYNTAX_20P</code>, specifying that there is an
implied immediate destination operand which does not appear in the
syntax.
</p>
<p>For example, if the source code contains an instruction like:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">inst r1,r2
</pre></div>
<p>the first argument is an implied immediate (that is, the result is
discarded). This is the same as though the source code were: inst
0,r1,r2.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>For example, defining a 64-bit multiplier with immediate operands:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example"> .extInstruction mp64, 0x07, 0x2d, SUFFIX_COND|SUFFIX_FLAG,
SYNTAX_3OP|OP1_MUST_BE_IMM
</pre></div>
<p>which specifies an extension instruction named <code>mp64</code> with 3
operands. It sets the flags and can be used with a condition code,
for which the first operand is an immediate, i.e. equivalent to
discarding the result of the operation.
</p>
<p>A two operands instruction variant would be:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example"> .extInstruction mul64, 0x07, 0x2d, SUFFIX_COND,
SYNTAX_2OP|OP1_IMM_IMPLIED
</pre></div>
<p>which describes a two operand instruction with an implicit first
immediate operand. The result of this operation would be discarded.

The special name <code>all</code> may be used to allow the
assembler to accept instructions valid for any ARM processor.
</p>
<p>In addition to the basic instruction set, the assembler can be told to
accept various extension mnemonics that extend the processor using the
co-processor instruction space. For example, <code>-mcpu=arm920+maverick</code>
is equivalent to specifying <code>-mcpu=ep9312</code>.
</p>
<p>Multiple extensions may be specified, separated by a <code>+</code>. The
extensions should be specified in ascending alphabetical order.
</p>
<p>Some extensions may be restricted to particular architectures; this is
documented in the list of extensions below.
</p>
<p>Extension mnemonics may also be removed from those the assembler accepts.
This is done be prepending <code>no</code> to the option that adds the extension.
Extensions that are removed should be listed after all extensions which have
been added, again in ascending alphabetical order. For example,
<code>-mcpu=ep9312+nomaverick</code> is equivalent to specifying <code>-mcpu=arm920</code>.
</p>
<p>The following extensions are currently supported:
<code>bf16</code> (BFloat16 extensions for v8.6-A architecture),

ARM and THUMB instructions had their own, separate syntaxes. The new,
<code>unified</code> syntax, which can be selected via the <code>.syntax</code>
directive, and has the following main features:
</p>
<ul>
<li> Immediate operands do not require a <code>#</code> prefix.
</li><li> The <code>IT</code> instruction may appear, and if it does it is validated
against subsequent conditional affixes. In ARM mode it does not
generate machine code, in THUMB mode it does.
</li><li> For ARM instructions the conditional affixes always appear at the end
of the instruction. For THUMB instructions conditional affixes can be
used, but only inside the scope of an <code>IT</code> instruction.
</li><li> All of the instructions new to the V6T2 architecture (and later) are
available. (Only a few such instructions can be written in the

<a name="index-data-relocations_002c-ARM"></a>
<a name="index-ARM-data-relocations"></a>
<p>Specific data relocations can be generated by putting the relocation name
in parentheses after the symbol name. For example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .word foo(TARGET1)
</pre></div>
<p>This will generate an &lsquo;<samp>R_ARM_TARGET1</samp>&rsquo; relocation against the symbol
<var>foo</var>.
The following relocations are supported:
<code>GOT</code>,
<code>GOTOFF</code>,
<code>TARGET1</code>,
<code>TARGET2</code>,
<code>SBREL</code>,
<code>TLSGD</code>,
<code>TLSLDM</code>,
<code>TLSLDO</code>,
<code>TLSDESC</code>,
<code>TLSCALL</code>,
<code>GOTTPOFF</code>,
<code>GOT_PREL</code>
and
<code>TPOFF</code>.
</p>
<p>For compatibility with older toolchains the assembler also accepts
<code>(PLT)</code> after branch targets. On legacy targets this will
generate the deprecated &lsquo;<samp>R_ARM_PLT32</samp>&rsquo; relocation. On EABI
targets it will encode either the &lsquo;<samp>R_ARM_CALL</samp>&rsquo; or
&lsquo;<samp>R_ARM_JUMP24</samp>&rsquo; relocation, as appropriate.
</p>
<a name="index-MOVW-and-MOVT-relocations_002c-ARM"></a>
<p>Relocations for &lsquo;<samp>MOVW</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>MOVT</samp>&rsquo; instructions can be generated
by prefixing the value with &lsquo;<samp>#:lower16:</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>#:upper16</samp>&rsquo;
respectively. For example to load the 32-bit address of foo into r0:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> MOVW r0, #:lower16:foo
MOVT r0, #:upper16:foo

<p>Some NEON load/store instructions allow an optional address
alignment qualifier.
The ARM documentation specifies that this is indicated by
&lsquo;<samp>@ <var>align</var></samp>&rsquo;. However GAS already interprets
the &lsquo;<samp>@</samp>&rsquo; character as a &quot;line comment&quot; start,
so &lsquo;<samp>: <var>align</var></samp>&rsquo; is used instead. For example:

quad-precision registers.
</p>
<p>If these directives are used to create typed aliases, those aliases can
be used in Neon instructions instead of writing types after the mnemonic
or after each operand. For example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">

y .dn d3.f32
z .dn d4.f32[1]
vmul x,y,z

into object files to mark certain features:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dd>
<a name="index-_0024a"></a>
</dd>

<p>The assembler will automatically insert these symbols for you - there
is no need to code them yourself. Support for tagging symbols ($b,
$f, $p and $m) which is also mentioned in the current ARM ELF
specification is not implemented. This is because they have been
dropped from the new EABI and so tools cannot rely upon their
presence.

<a name="Unwinding"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">9.4.7 Unwinding</h4>
<p>The ABI for the ARM Architecture specifies a standard format for
exception unwind information. This information is used when an
exception is thrown to determine where control should be transferred.
In particular, the unwind information is used to determine which
function called the function that threw the exception, and which
function called that one, and so forth. This information is also used
to restore the values of callee-saved registers in the function
catching the exception.
</p>
<p>If you are writing functions in assembly code, and those functions
call other functions that throw exceptions, you must use assembly
pseudo ops to ensure that appropriate exception unwind information is
generated. Otherwise, if one of the functions called by your assembly
code throws an exception, the run-time library will be unable to
unwind the stack through your assembly code and your program will not
behave correctly.
</p>
<p>To illustrate the use of these pseudo ops, we will examine the code
that G++ generates for the following C++ input:
</p>
<pre class="verbatim">void callee (int *);
int
caller ()
{
int i;
callee (&amp;i);
return i;
}
</pre>
<p>This example does not show how to throw or catch an exception from
assembly code. That is a much more complex operation and should
always be done in a high-level language, such as C++, that directly
supports exceptions.
</p>
<p>The code generated by one particular version of G++ when compiling the
example above is:
</p>
<pre class="verbatim">_Z6callerv:
.fnstart
.LFB2:
@ Function supports interworking.
@ args = 0, pretend = 0, frame = 8
@ frame_needed = 1, uses_anonymous_args = 0
stmfd sp!, {fp, lr}
.save {fp, lr}
.LCFI0:
.setfp fp, sp, #4
add fp, sp, #4
.LCFI1:
.pad #8
sub sp, sp, #8
.LCFI2:
sub r3, fp, #8
mov r0, r3
bl _Z6calleePi
ldr r3, [fp, #-8]
mov r0, r3
sub sp, fp, #4
ldmfd sp!, {fp, lr}
bx lr
.LFE2:
.fnend
</pre>
<p>Of course, the sequence of instructions varies based on the options
you pass to GCC and on the version of GCC in use. The exact
instructions are not important since we are focusing on the pseudo ops
that are used to generate unwind information.
</p>
<p>An important assumption made by the unwinder is that the stack frame
does not change during the body of the function. In particular, since
we assume that the assembly code does not itself throw an exception,
the only point where an exception can be thrown is from a call, such
as the <code>bl</code> instruction above. At each call site, the same saved
registers (including <code>lr</code>, which indicates the return address)
must be located in the same locations relative to the frame pointer.
</p>
<p>The <code>.fnstart</code> (see <a href="#arm_005ffnstart">.fnstart pseudo op</a>) pseudo
op appears immediately before the first instruction of the function
while the <code>.fnend</code> (see <a href="#arm_005ffnend">.fnend pseudo op</a>) pseudo
op appears immediately after the last instruction of the function.
These pseudo ops specify the range of the function.
</p>
<p>Only the order of the other pseudos ops (e.g., <code>.setfp</code> or
<code>.pad</code>) matters; their exact locations are irrelevant. In the
example above, the compiler emits the pseudo ops with particular
instructions. That makes it easier to understand the code, but it is
not required for correctness. It would work just as well to emit all
of the pseudo ops other than <code>.fnend</code> in the same order, but
immediately after <code>.fnstart</code>.
</p>
<p>The <code>.save</code> (see <a href="#arm_005fsave">.save pseudo op</a>) pseudo op
indicates registers that have been saved to the stack so that they can
be restored before the function returns. The argument to the
<code>.save</code> pseudo op is a list of registers to save. If a register
is &ldquo;callee-saved&rdquo; (as specified by the ABI) and is modified by the
function you are writing, then your code must save the value before it
is modified and restore the original value before the function
returns. If an exception is thrown, the run-time library restores the
values of these registers from their locations on the stack before
returning control to the exception handler. (Of course, if an
exception is not thrown, the function that contains the <code>.save</code>
pseudo op restores these registers in the function epilogue, as is
done with the <code>ldmfd</code> instruction above.)
</p>
<p>You do not have to save callee-saved registers at the very beginning
of the function and you do not need to use the <code>.save</code> pseudo op
immediately following the point at which the registers are saved.
However, if you modify a callee-saved register, you must save it on
the stack before modifying it and before calling any functions which
might throw an exception. And, you must use the <code>.save</code> pseudo
op to indicate that you have done so.
</p>
<p>The <code>.pad</code> (see <a href="#arm_005fpad">.pad</a>) pseudo op indicates a
modification of the stack pointer that does not save any registers.
The argument is the number of bytes (in decimal) that are subtracted
from the stack pointer. (On ARM CPUs, the stack grows downwards, so
subtracting from the stack pointer increases the size of the stack.)
</p>
<p>The <code>.setfp</code> (see <a href="#arm_005fsetfp">.setfp pseudo op</a>) pseudo op
indicates the register that contains the frame pointer. The first
argument is the register that is set, which is typically <code>fp</code>.
The second argument indicates the register from which the frame
pointer takes its value. The third argument, if present, is the value
(in decimal) added to the register specified by the second argument to
compute the value of the frame pointer. You should not modify the
frame pointer in the body of the function.
</p>
<p>If you do not use a frame pointer, then you should not use the
<code>.setfp</code> pseudo op. If you do not use a frame pointer, then you
should avoid modifying the stack pointer outside of the function
prologue. Otherwise, the run-time library will be unable to find
saved registers when it is unwinding the stack.
</p>
<p>The pseudo ops described above are sufficient for writing assembly
code that calls functions which may throw exceptions. If you need to
know more about the object-file format used to represent unwind
information, you may consult the <cite>Exception Handling ABI for the
ARM Architecture</cite> available from <a href="http://infocenter.arm.com">http://infocenter.arm.com</a>.

is treated as a comment, but in this case the line can also be a
logical line number directive (see <a href="#Comments">Comments</a>) or a preprocessor
control command (see <a href="#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>).

<p>The AVR has 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers &lsquo;<samp>r0</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>r1</samp>&rsquo;, ... &lsquo;<samp>r31</samp>&rsquo;.
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address
register pointers for Data Space addressing. One of the these address
pointers can also be used as an address pointer for look up tables in
Flash program memory. These added function registers are the 16-bit
&lsquo;<samp>X</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>Y</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>Z</samp>&rsquo; - registers.

<h4 class="subsubsection">9.5.2.3 Relocatable Expression Modifiers</h4>
<a name="index-AVR-modifiers"></a>
<a name="index-syntax_002c-AVR"></a>
<p>The assembler supports several modifiers when using relocatable addresses
in AVR instruction operands. The general syntax is the following:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">modifier(relocatable-expression)
</pre></div>
<dl compact="compact">
<dd><a name="index-symbol-modifiers"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>lo8</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier allows you to use bits 0 through 7 of
an address expression as an 8 bit relocatable expression.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hi8</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier allows you to use bits 7 through 15 of an address expression
as an 8 bit relocatable expression. This is useful with, for example, the
AVR &lsquo;<samp>ldi</samp>&rsquo; instruction and &lsquo;<samp>lo8</samp>&rsquo; modifier.
</p>
<p>For example
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">ldi r26, lo8(sym+10)
ldi r27, hi8(sym+10)
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>hh8</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier allows you to use bits 16 through 23 of
an address expression as an 8 bit relocatable expression.
Also, can be useful for loading 32 bit constants.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hlo8</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Synonym of &lsquo;<samp>hh8</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hhi8</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier allows you to use bits 24 through 31 of
an expression as an 8 bit expression. This is useful with, for example, the
AVR &lsquo;<samp>ldi</samp>&rsquo; instruction and &lsquo;<samp>lo8</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>hi8</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>hlo8</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>hhi8</samp>&rsquo;, modifier.
</p>
<p>For example
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">ldi r26, lo8(285774925)
ldi r27, hi8(285774925)
ldi r28, hlo8(285774925)
ldi r29, hhi8(285774925)
; r29,r28,r27,r26 = 285774925
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>pm_lo8</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier allows you to use bits 0 through 7 of
an address expression as an 8 bit relocatable expression.
This modifier is useful for addressing data or code from
Flash/Program memory by two-byte words. The use of &lsquo;<samp>pm_lo8</samp>&rsquo;
is similar to &lsquo;<samp>lo8</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>pm_hi8</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier allows you to use bits 8 through 15 of
an address expression as an 8 bit relocatable expression.
This modifier is useful for addressing data or code from
Flash/Program memory by two-byte words.
</p>
<p>For example, when setting the AVR &lsquo;<samp>Z</samp>&rsquo; register with the &lsquo;<samp>ldi</samp>&rsquo;
instruction for subsequent use by the &lsquo;<samp>ijmp</samp>&rsquo; instruction:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">ldi r30, pm_lo8(sym)
ldi r31, pm_hi8(sym)
ijmp
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>pm_hh8</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier allows you to use bits 15 through 23 of
an address expression as an 8 bit relocatable expression.
This modifier is useful for addressing data or code from
Flash/Program memory by two-byte words.

terminated by a semicolon character.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>Register Names</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>The assembler treats register names and instruction keywords in a case
insensitive manner. User identifiers are case sensitive. Thus, R3.l,
R3.L, r3.l and r3.L are all equivalent input to the assembler.
</p>
<p>Register names are reserved and may not be used as program identifiers.
</p>
<p>Some operations (such as &quot;Move Register&quot;) require a register pair.
Register pairs are always data registers and are denoted using a colon,
eg., R3:2. The larger number must be written firsts. Note that the
hardware only supports odd-even pairs, eg., R7:6, R5:4, R3:2, and R1:0.
</p>
<p>Some instructions (such as &ndash;SP (Push Multiple)) require a group of
adjacent registers. Adjacent registers are denoted in the syntax by
the range enclosed in parentheses and separated by a colon, eg., (R7:3).
Again, the larger number appears first.
</p>
<p>Portions of a particular register may be individually specified. This
is written with a dot (&quot;.&quot;) following the register name and then a
letter denoting the desired portion. For 32-bit registers, &quot;.H&quot;
denotes the most significant (&quot;High&quot;) portion. &quot;.L&quot; denotes the
least-significant portion. The subdivisions of the 40-bit registers
are described later.

D-register or Dreg. Data registers can be accessed as 32-bit registers
or as two independent 16-bit registers. The least significant 16 bits
of each register is called the &quot;low&quot; half and is designated with &quot;.L&quot;
following the register name. The most significant 16 bits are called
the &quot;high&quot; half and is designated with &quot;.H&quot; following the name.

<a name="index-options_002c-CRIS"></a>

<p>The CRIS version of <code>as</code> has these
machine-dependent command-line options.
</p>
<a name="index-_002d_002demulation_003dcriself-command_002dline-option_002c-CRIS"></a>

<a name="index-CRIS-_002d_002demulation_003dcrisaout-command_002dline-option"></a>
<p>The format of the generated object files can be either ELF or
a.out, specified by the command-line options
<samp>--emulation=crisaout</samp> and <samp>--emulation=criself</samp>.
The default is ELF (criself), unless <code>as</code> has been
configured specifically for a.out by using the configuration
name <code>cris-axis-aout</code>.
</p>
<a name="index-_002d_002dunderscore-command_002dline-option_002c-CRIS"></a>

<a name="index-CRIS-_002d_002dno_002dunderscore-command_002dline-option"></a>
<p>There are two different link-incompatible ELF object file
variants for CRIS, for use in environments where symbols are
expected to be prefixed by a leading &lsquo;<samp>_</samp>&rsquo; character and for
environments without such a symbol prefix. The variant used for
GNU/Linux port has no symbol prefix. Which variant to produce
is specified by either of the options <samp>--underscore</samp> and
<samp>--no-underscore</samp>. The default is <samp>--underscore</samp>.
Since symbols in CRIS a.out objects are expected to have a
&lsquo;<samp>_</samp>&rsquo; prefix, specifying <samp>--no-underscore</samp> when
generating a.out objects is an error. Besides the object format
difference, the effect of this option is to parse register names
differently (see <a href="#crisnous">crisnous</a>). The <samp>--no-underscore</samp>
option makes a &lsquo;<samp>$</samp>&rsquo; register prefix mandatory.

<p>The option <samp>--pic</samp> must be passed to <code>as</code> in
order to recognize the symbol syntax used for ELF (SVR4 PIC)
position-independent-code (see <a href="#crispic">crispic</a>). This will also
affect expansion of instructions. The expansion with
<samp>--pic</samp> will use PC-relative rather than (slightly
faster) absolute addresses in those expansions. This option is only
valid when generating ELF format object files.

<p>When <samp>-N</samp> is specified, <code>as</code> will emit a
warning when a 16-bit branch instruction is expanded into a
32-bit multiple-instruction construct (see <a href="#CRIS_002dExpand">CRIS-Expand</a>).

<a name="index-CRIS-_002d_002dmul_002dbug_002dabort-command_002dline-option"></a>
<p>Some versions of the CRIS v10, for example in the Etrax 100 LX,
contain a bug that causes destabilizing memory accesses when a
multiply instruction is executed with certain values in the
first operand just before a cache-miss. When the
<samp>--mul-bug-abort</samp> command-line option is active (the
default value), <code>as</code> will refuse to assemble a file
containing a multiply instruction at a dangerous offset, one
that could be the last on a cache-line, or is in a section with
insufficient alignment. This placement checking does not catch
any case where the multiply instruction is dangerously placed
because it is located in a delay-slot. The
<samp>--mul-bug-abort</samp> command-line option turns off the
checking.

<a name="index-CRIS-instruction-expansion"></a>
<p><code>as</code> will silently choose an instruction that fits
the operand size for &lsquo;<samp>[register+constant]</samp>&rsquo; operands. For
example, the offset <code>127</code> in <code>move.d [r3+127],r4</code> fits
in an instruction using a signed-byte offset. Similarly,
<code>move.d [r2+32767],r1</code> will generate an instruction using a
16-bit offset. For symbolic expressions and constants that do
not fit in 16 bits including the sign bit, a 32-bit offset is
generated.
</p>
<p>For branches, <code>as</code> will expand from a 16-bit branch
instruction into a sequence of instructions that can reach a
full 32-bit address. Since this does not correspond to a single
instruction, such expansions can optionally be warned about.
See <a href="#CRIS_002dOpts">CRIS-Opts</a>.
</p>
<p>If the operand is found to fit the range, a <code>lapc</code> mnemonic
will translate to a <code>lapcq</code> instruction. Use <code>lapc.d</code>
to force the 32-bit <code>lapc</code> instruction.
</p>
<p>Similarly, the <code>addo</code> mnemonic will translate to the
shortest fitting instruction of <code>addoq</code>, <code>addo.w</code> and
<code>addo.d</code>, when used with a operand that is a constant known
at assembly time.

<p>The character &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; is a line comment character. It starts a

<p>A &lsquo;<samp>;</samp>&rsquo; character starts a comment anywhere on the line,
causing all characters up to the end of the line to be ignored.

<p>A &lsquo;<samp>@</samp>&rsquo; character is handled as a line separator equivalent
to a logical new-line character (except in a comment), so
separate instructions can be specified on a single line.

<a name="index-Symbols-in-position_002dindependent-code_002c-CRIS"></a>
<a name="index-CRIS-symbols-in-position_002dindependent-code"></a>
<a name="index-Position_002dindependent-code_002c-symbols-in_002c-CRIS"></a>
<p>When generating <a name="crispic"></a>position-independent code (SVR4
PIC) for use in cris-axis-linux-gnu or crisv32-axis-linux-gnu
shared libraries, symbol
suffixes are used to specify what kind of run-time symbol lookup
will be used, expressed in the object as different
<em>relocation types</em>. Usually, all absolute symbol values
must be located in a table, the <em>global offset table</em>,
leaving the code position-independent; independent of values of
global symbols and independent of the address of the code. The
suffix modifies the value of the symbol, into for example an
index into the global offset table where the real symbol value
is entered, or a PC-relative value, or a value relative to the
start of the global offset table. All symbol suffixes start
with the character &lsquo;<samp>:</samp>&rsquo; (omitted in the list below). Every
symbol use in code or a read-only section must therefore have a
PIC suffix to enable a useful shared library to be created.
Usually, these constructs must not be used with an additive
constant offset as is usually allowed, i.e. no 4 as in
<code>symbol + 4</code> is allowed. This restriction is checked at
link-time, not at assembly-time.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>GOT</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Attaching this suffix to a symbol in an instruction causes the
symbol to be entered into the global offset table. The value is
a 32-bit index for that symbol into the global offset table.
The name of the corresponding relocation is
&lsquo;<samp>R_CRIS_32_GOT</samp>&rsquo;. Example: <code>move.d
[$r0+extsym:GOT],$r9</code>
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>GOT16</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Same as for &lsquo;<samp>GOT</samp>&rsquo;, but the value is a 16-bit index into the
global offset table. The corresponding relocation is
&lsquo;<samp>R_CRIS_16_GOT</samp>&rsquo;. Example: <code>move.d
[$r0+asymbol:GOT16],$r10</code>
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>PLT</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This suffix is used for function symbols. It causes a
<em>procedure linkage table</em>, an array of code stubs, to be
created at the time the shared object is created or linked
against, together with a global offset table entry. The value
is a pc-relative offset to the corresponding stub code in the
procedure linkage table. This arrangement causes the run-time
symbol resolver to be called to look up and set the value of the
symbol the first time the function is called (at latest;
depending environment variables). It is only safe to leave the
symbol unresolved this way if all references are function calls.
The name of the relocation is &lsquo;<samp>R_CRIS_32_PLT_PCREL</samp>&rsquo;.
Example: <code>add.d fnname:PLT,$pc</code>
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>PLTG</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Like PLT, but the value is relative to the beginning of the
global offset table. The relocation is
&lsquo;<samp>R_CRIS_32_PLT_GOTREL</samp>&rsquo;. Example: <code>move.d
fnname:PLTG,$r3</code>
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>GOTPLT</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Similar to &lsquo;<samp>PLT</samp>&rsquo;, but the value of the symbol is a 32-bit
index into the global offset table. This is somewhat of a mix
between the effect of the &lsquo;<samp>GOT</samp>&rsquo; and the &lsquo;<samp>PLT</samp>&rsquo; suffix;
the difference to &lsquo;<samp>GOT</samp>&rsquo; is that there will be a procedure
linkage table entry created, and that the symbol is assumed to
be a function entry and will be resolved by the run-time
resolver as with &lsquo;<samp>PLT</samp>&rsquo;. The relocation is
&lsquo;<samp>R_CRIS_32_GOTPLT</samp>&rsquo;. Example: <code>jsr
[$r0+fnname:GOTPLT]</code>
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>GOTPLT16</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>A variant of &lsquo;<samp>GOTPLT</samp>&rsquo; giving a 16-bit value. Its
relocation name is &lsquo;<samp>R_CRIS_16_GOTPLT</samp>&rsquo;. Example: <code>jsr
[$r0+fnname:GOTPLT16]</code>
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>GOTOFF</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This suffix must only be attached to a local symbol, but may be
used in an expression adding an offset. The value is the
address of the symbol relative to the start of the global offset
table. The relocation name is &lsquo;<samp>R_CRIS_32_GOTREL</samp>&rsquo;.
Example: <code>move.d [$r0+localsym:GOTOFF],r3</code>

<p>The D10V version of <code>as</code> uses the instruction names in the D10V
Architecture Manual. However, the names in the manual are sometimes ambiguous.
There are instruction names that can assemble to a short or long form opcode.
How does the assembler pick the correct form? <code>as</code> will always pick the
smallest form if it can. When dealing with a symbol that is not defined yet when a
line is being assembled, it will always use the long form. If you need to force the
assembler to use either the short or long form of the instruction, you can append
either &lsquo;<samp>.s</samp>&rsquo; (short) or &lsquo;<samp>.l</samp>&rsquo; (long) to it. For example, if you are writing
an assembly program and you want to do a branch to a symbol that is defined later
in your program, you can write &lsquo;<samp>bra.s foo</samp>&rsquo;.
Objdump and GDB will always append &lsquo;<samp>.s</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>.l</samp>&rsquo; to instructions which
have both short and long forms.

<a name="index-D10V-sub_002dinstructions"></a>
<a name="index-sub_002dinstructions_002c-D10V"></a>
<p>The D10V assembler takes as input a series of instructions, either one-per-line,
or in the special two-per-line format described in the next section. Some of these
instructions will be short-form or sub-instructions. These sub-instructions can be packed
into a single instruction. The assembler will do this automatically. It will also detect
when it should not pack instructions. For example, when a label is defined, the next
instruction will never be packaged with the previous one. Whenever a branch and link
instruction is called, it will not be packaged with the next instruction so the return
address will be valid. Nops are automatically inserted when necessary.
</p>
<p>If you do not want the assembler automatically making these decisions, you can control
the packaging and execution type (parallel or sequential) with the special execution
symbols described in the next section.

<p>A semicolon (&lsquo;<samp>;</samp>&rsquo;) can be used anywhere on a line to start a
comment that extends to the end of the line.
</p>
<p>If a &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; appears as the first character of a line, the whole line
is treated as a comment, but in this case the line could also be a
logical line number directive (see <a href="#Comments">Comments</a>) or a preprocessor
control command (see <a href="#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>).

<a name="index-sub_002dinstruction-ordering_002c-D10V"></a>
<a name="index-D10V-sub_002dinstruction-ordering"></a>
<p>Sub-instructions may be executed in order, in reverse-order, or in parallel.
Instructions listed in the standard one-per-line format will be executed sequentially.
To specify the executing order, use the following symbols:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-&gt;</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Sequential with instruction on the left first.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>&lt;-</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Sequential with instruction on the right first.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>||</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Parallel
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>The D10V syntax allows either one instruction per line, one instruction per line with
the execution symbol, or two instructions per line. For example
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>abs a1 -&gt; abs r0</code></dt>
<dd><p>Execute these sequentially. The instruction on the right is in the right
container and is executed second.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>abs r0 &lt;- abs a1</code></dt>
<dd><p>Execute these reverse-sequentially. The instruction on the right is in the right
container, and is executed first.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>ld2w r2,@r8+ || mac a0,r0,r7</code></dt>
<dd><p>Execute these in parallel.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>ld2w r2,@r8+ ||</code></dt>
<dt><code>mac a0,r0,r7</code></dt>
<dd><p>Two-line format. Execute these in parallel.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>ld2w r2,@r8+</code></dt>
<dt><code>mac a0,r0,r7</code></dt>
<dd><p>Two-line format. Execute these sequentially. Assembler will

<a name="index-D30V-size-modifiers"></a>
<a name="index-size-modifiers_002c-D30V"></a>
<p>The D30V version of <code>as</code> uses the instruction names in the D30V
Architecture Manual. However, the names in the manual are sometimes ambiguous.
There are instruction names that can assemble to a short or long form opcode.
How does the assembler pick the correct form? <code>as</code> will always pick the
smallest form if it can. When dealing with a symbol that is not defined yet when a
line is being assembled, it will always use the long form. If you need to force the
assembler to use either the short or long form of the instruction, you can append
either &lsquo;<samp>.s</samp>&rsquo; (short) or &lsquo;<samp>.l</samp>&rsquo; (long) to it. For example, if you are writing
an assembly program and you want to do a branch to a symbol that is defined later
in your program, you can write &lsquo;<samp>bra.s foo</samp>&rsquo;.
Objdump and GDB will always append &lsquo;<samp>.s</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>.l</samp>&rsquo; to instructions which
have both short and long forms.

<a name="index-D30V-sub_002dinstructions"></a>
<a name="index-sub_002dinstructions_002c-D30V"></a>
<p>The D30V assembler takes as input a series of instructions, either one-per-line,
or in the special two-per-line format described in the next section. Some of these
instructions will be short-form or sub-instructions. These sub-instructions can be packed
into a single instruction. The assembler will do this automatically. It will also detect
when it should not pack instructions. For example, when a label is defined, the next
instruction will never be packaged with the previous one. Whenever a branch and link
instruction is called, it will not be packaged with the next instruction so the return
address will be valid. Nops are automatically inserted when necessary.
</p>
<p>If you do not want the assembler automatically making these decisions, you can control
the packaging and execution type (parallel or sequential) with the special execution
symbols described in the next section.

<a name="index-D30V-line-comment-character"></a>
<p>A semicolon (&lsquo;<samp>;</samp>&rsquo;) can be used anywhere on a line to start a
comment that extends to the end of the line.
</p>
<p>If a &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; appears as the first character of a line, the whole line
is treated as a comment, but in this case the line could also be a
logical line number directive (see <a href="#Comments">Comments</a>) or a preprocessor
control command (see <a href="#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>).
</p>
<a name="index-sub_002dinstruction-ordering_002c-D30V"></a>
<a name="index-D30V-sub_002dinstruction-ordering"></a>
<p>Sub-instructions may be executed in order, in reverse-order, or in parallel.
Instructions listed in the standard one-per-line format will be executed
sequentially unless you use the &lsquo;<samp>-O</samp>&rsquo; option.
</p>
<p>To specify the executing order, use the following symbols:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-&gt;</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Sequential with instruction on the left first.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>&lt;-</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Sequential with instruction on the right first.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>||</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Parallel
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>The D30V syntax allows either one instruction per line, one instruction per line with
the execution symbol, or two instructions per line. For example
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>abs r2,r3 -&gt; abs r4,r5</code></dt>
<dd><p>Execute these sequentially. The instruction on the right is in the right
container and is executed second.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>abs r2,r3 &lt;- abs r4,r5</code></dt>
<dd><p>Execute these reverse-sequentially. The instruction on the right is in the right
container, and is executed first.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>abs r2,r3 || abs r4,r5</code></dt>
<dd><p>Execute these in parallel.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>ldw r2,@(r3,r4) ||</code></dt>
<dt><code>mulx r6,r8,r9</code></dt>
<dd><p>Two-line format. Execute these in parallel.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>mulx a0,r8,r9</code></dt>
<dt><code>stw r2,@(r3,r4)</code></dt>
<dd><p>Two-line format. Execute these sequentially unless &lsquo;<samp>-O</samp>&rsquo; option is
used. If the &lsquo;<samp>-O</samp>&rsquo; option is used, the assembler will determine if
the instructions could be done in parallel (the above two instructions
can be done in parallel), and if so, emit them as parallel instructions.
The assembler will put them in the proper containers. In the above
example, the assembler will put the &lsquo;<samp>stw</samp>&rsquo; instruction in left
container and the &lsquo;<samp>mulx</samp>&rsquo; instruction in the right container.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>stw r2,@(r3,r4) -&gt;</code></dt>
<dt><code>mulx a0,r8,r9</code></dt>
<dd><p>Two-line format. Execute the &lsquo;<samp>stw</samp>&rsquo; instruction followed by the
&lsquo;<samp>mulx</samp>&rsquo; instruction sequentially. The first instruction goes in the
left container and the second instruction goes into right container.
The assembler will give an error if the machine ordering constraints are
violated.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>stw r2,@(r3,r4) &lt;-</code></dt>
<dt><code>mulx a0,r8,r9</code></dt>
<dd><p>Same as previous example, except that the &lsquo;<samp>mulx</samp>&rsquo; instruction is
executed before the &lsquo;<samp>stw</samp>&rsquo; instruction.

&lsquo;<samp>r<var>n</var>l</samp>&rsquo; to refer to the H8/300 registers as sixteen 8-bit
general-purpose registers. <var>n</var> is a digit from &lsquo;<samp>0</samp>&rsquo; to
&lsquo;<samp>7</samp>&rsquo;); for instance, both &lsquo;<samp>r0h</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>r7l</samp>&rsquo; are valid

to the H8/300 registers as 16-bit registers (you must use this form for
addressing).
</p>
<p>On the H8/300H, you can also use the eight predefined symbols
&lsquo;<samp>er<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo; (&lsquo;<samp>er0</samp>&rsquo; &hellip; &lsquo;<samp>er7</samp>&rsquo;) to refer to the 32-bit
general purpose registers.
</p>
<p>The two control registers are called <code>pc</code> (program counter; a
16-bit register, except on the H8/300H where it is 24 bits) and
<code>ccr</code> (condition code register; an 8-bit register). <code>r7</code> is
used as the stack pointer, and can also be called <code>sp</code>.

<p>Four H8/300 instructions (<code>add</code>, <code>cmp</code>, <code>mov</code>,

&lsquo;<samp>.w</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>.l</samp>&rsquo; to specify the size of a memory operand.
<code>as</code> supports these suffixes, but does not require them;
since one of the operands is always a register, <code>as</code> can
deduce the correct size.
</p>
<p>For example, since <code>r0</code> refers to a 16-bit register,
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">mov r0,@foo
</pre><pre class="example">is equivalent to
</pre><pre class="example">mov.w r0,@foo
</pre></div>

the suffix and the register size do not match.

<p>As a back end for <small>GNU</small> <small>CC</small> <code>as</code> has been thoroughly tested and should
work extremely well. We have tested it only minimally on hand written assembly
code and no one has tested it much on the assembly output from the HP

</p>
<p>The format of the debugging sections has changed since the original
<code>as</code> port (version 1.3X) was released; therefore,
you must rebuild all HPPA objects and libraries with the new
assembler so that you can debug the final executable.

<p>The assembler syntax closely follows the HPPA instruction set
reference manual; assembler directives and general syntax closely follow the
HPPA assembly language reference manual, with a few noteworthy differences.
</p>
<p>First, a colon may immediately follow a label definition. This is
simply for compatibility with how most assembly language programmers
write code.
</p>
<p>Some obscure expression parsing problems may affect hand written code which
uses the <code>spop</code> instructions, or code which makes significant
use of the <code>!</code> line separator.
</p>
<p><code>as</code> is much less forgiving about missing arguments and other
similar oversights than the HP assembler. <code>as</code> notifies you
of missing arguments as syntax errors; this is regarded as a feature, not a
bug.
</p>
<p>Finally, <code>as</code> allows you to use an external symbol without
explicitly importing the symbol. <em>Warning:</em> in the future this will be
an error for HPPA targets.
</p>
<p>Special characters for HPPA targets include:
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>;</samp>&rsquo; is the line comment character.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>!</samp>&rsquo; can be used instead of a newline to separate statements.
</p>
<p>Since &lsquo;<samp>$</samp>&rsquo; has no special meaning, you may use it in symbol names.

<h4 class="subsection">9.15.5 HPPA Assembler Directives</h4>
<p><code>as</code> for the HPPA supports many additional directives for
compatibility with the native assembler. This section describes them only
briefly. For detailed information on HPPA-specific assembler directives, see
<cite>HP9000 Series 800 Assembly Language Reference Manual</cite> (HP 92432-90001).
</p>
<a name="index-HPPA-directives-not-supported"></a>
<p><code>as</code> does <em>not</em> support the following assembler directives
described in the HP manual:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">.endm .liston
.enter .locct
.leave .macro
.listoff
</pre></div>
<a name="index-_002eparam-on-HPPA"></a>
<p>Beyond those implemented for compatibility, <code>as</code> supports one
additional assembler directive for the HPPA: <code>.param</code>. It conveys
register argument locations for static functions. Its syntax closely follows
the <code>.export</code> directive.
</p>
<a name="index-HPPA_002donly-directives"></a>
<p>These are the additional directives in <code>as</code> for the HPPA:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">

arguments</em> is allowed.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.callinfo [ <var>param</var>=<var>value</var>, &hellip; ] [ <var>flag</var>, &hellip; ]</code></dt>
<dd><p>Specify a number of parameters and flags that define the environment for a

<p><var>param</var> may be any of &lsquo;<samp>frame</samp>&rsquo; (frame size), &lsquo;<samp>entry_gr</samp>&rsquo; (end of
general register range), &lsquo;<samp>entry_fr</samp>&rsquo; (end of float register range),
&lsquo;<samp>entry_sr</samp>&rsquo; (end of space register range).
</p>
<p>The values for <var>flag</var> are &lsquo;<samp>calls</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>caller</samp>&rsquo; (proc has

number rather than by name.
</p>
<p>If specified, the list <var>params</var> declares attributes of the section,
identified by keywords. The keywords recognized are &lsquo;<samp>spnum=<var>exp</var></samp>&rsquo;
(identify this section by the number <var>exp</var>, an absolute expression),
&lsquo;<samp>sort=<var>exp</var></samp>&rsquo; (order sections according to this sort key when linking;
<var>exp</var> is an absolute expression), &lsquo;<samp>unloadable</samp>&rsquo; (section contains no

</p>
</dd>

</dd>

<dd><p>Copy the characters in the string <var>str</var> to the object file.
See <a href="#Strings">Strings</a>, for information on escape sequences you can use in
<code>as</code> strings.
</p>
<p><em>Warning!</em> The HPPA version of <code>.string</code> differs from the
usual <code>as</code> definition: it does <em>not</em> write a zero byte
after copying <var>str</var>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.stringz &quot;<var>str</var>&quot;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Like <code>.string</code>, but appends a zero byte after copying <var>str</var> to object

</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.subspa <var>name</var> [ ,<var>params</var> ]</code></dt>
<dt><code>.nsubspa <var>name</var> [ ,<var>params</var> ]</code></dt>
<dd><p>Similar to <code>.space</code>, but selects a subsection <var>name</var> within the
current section. You may only specify <var>params</var> when you create a
subsection (in the first instance of <code>.subspa</code> for this <var>name</var>).
</p>
<p>If specified, the list <var>params</var> declares attributes of the subsection,
identified by keywords. The keywords recognized are &lsquo;<samp>quad=<var>expr</var></samp>&rsquo;
(&ldquo;quadrant&rdquo; for this subsection), &lsquo;<samp>align=<var>expr</var></samp>&rsquo; (alignment for
beginning of this subsection; a power of two), &lsquo;<samp>access=<var>expr</var></samp>&rsquo; (value
for &ldquo;access rights&rdquo; field), &lsquo;<samp>sort=<var>expr</var></samp>&rsquo; (sorting order for this
subspace in link), &lsquo;<samp>code_only</samp>&rsquo; (subsection contains only code),
&lsquo;<samp>unloadable</samp>&rsquo; (subsection cannot be loaded into memory), &lsquo;<samp>comdat</samp>&rsquo;
(subsection is comdat), &lsquo;<samp>common</samp>&rsquo; (subsection is common block),
&lsquo;<samp>dup_comm</samp>&rsquo; (subsection may have duplicate names), or &lsquo;<samp>zero</samp>&rsquo;
(subsection is all zeros, do not write in object file).
</p>
<p><code>.nsubspa</code> always creates a new subspace with the given name, even
if one with the same name already exists.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>comdat</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>common</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>dup_comm</samp>&rsquo; can be used to implement
various flavors of one-only support when using the SOM linker. The SOM
linker only supports specific combinations of these flags. The details
are not documented. A brief description is provided here.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>comdat</samp>&rsquo; provides a form of linkonce support. It is useful for
both code and data subspaces. A &lsquo;<samp>comdat</samp>&rsquo; subspace has a key symbol
marked by the &lsquo;<samp>is_comdat</samp>&rsquo; flag or &lsquo;<samp>ST_COMDAT</samp>&rsquo;. Only the first
subspace for any given key is selected. The key symbol becomes universal
in shared links. This is similar to the behavior of &lsquo;<samp>secondary_def</samp>&rsquo;
symbols.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>common</samp>&rsquo; provides Fortran named common support. It is only useful
for data subspaces. Symbols with the flag &lsquo;<samp>is_common</samp>&rsquo; retain this
flag in shared links. Referencing a &lsquo;<samp>is_common</samp>&rsquo; symbol in a shared
library from outside the library doesn&rsquo;t work. Thus, &lsquo;<samp>is_common</samp>&rsquo;
symbols must be output whenever they are needed.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>common</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>dup_comm</samp>&rsquo; together provide Cobol common support.
The subspaces in this case must all be the same length. Otherwise, this
support is similar to the Fortran common support.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>dup_comm</samp>&rsquo; by itself provides a type of one-only support for code.
Only the first &lsquo;<samp>dup_comm</samp>&rsquo; subspace is selected. There is a rather
complex algorithm to compare subspaces. Code symbols marked with the
&lsquo;<samp>dup_common</samp>&rsquo; flag are hidden. This support was intended for &quot;C++
duplicate inlines&quot;.
</p>
<p>A simplified technique is used to mark the flags of symbols based on
the flags of their subspace. A symbol with the scope SS_UNIVERSAL and
type ST_ENTRY, ST_CODE or ST_DATA is marked with the corresponding
settings of &lsquo;<samp>comdat</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>common</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>dup_comm</samp>&rsquo; from the
subspace, respectively. This avoids having to introduce additional
directives to mark these symbols. The HP assembler sets &lsquo;<samp>is_common</samp>&rsquo;
from &lsquo;<samp>common</samp>&rsquo;. However, it doesn&rsquo;t set the &lsquo;<samp>dup_common</samp>&rsquo; from
&lsquo;<samp>dup_comm</samp>&rsquo;. It doesn&rsquo;t have &lsquo;<samp>comdat</samp>&rsquo; support.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.version &quot;<var>str</var>&quot;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Write <var>str</var> as version identifier in object code.

instructions with commutative source operands will also have their
source operands swapped if this allows using the 2-byte VEX prefix form
instead of the 3-byte one. Certain forms of AND as well as OR with the

<p><code>as</code> now supports assembly using Intel assembler syntax.
<code>.intel_syntax</code> selects Intel mode, and <code>.att_syntax</code> switches
back to the usual AT&amp;T mode for compatibility with the output of
<code>gcc</code>. Either of these directives may have an optional
argument, <code>prefix</code>, or <code>noprefix</code> specifying whether registers
require a &lsquo;<samp>%</samp>&rsquo; prefix. AT&amp;T System V/386 assembler syntax is quite
different from Intel syntax. We mention these differences because
almost all 80386 documents use Intel syntax. Notable differences
between the two syntaxes are:

AT&amp;T register operands are preceded by &lsquo;<samp>%</samp>&rsquo;; Intel register operands

AT&amp;T and Intel syntax use the opposite order for source and destination

&lsquo;<samp>source, dest</samp>&rsquo; convention is maintained for compatibility with
previous Unix assemblers. Note that &lsquo;<samp>bound</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>invlpga</samp>&rsquo;, and
instructions with 2 immediate operands, such as the &lsquo;<samp>enter</samp>&rsquo;
instruction, do <em>not</em> have reversed order. <a href="#i386_002dBugs">i386-Bugs</a>.

<a name="index-x86_002d64-size-suffixes"></a>
In AT&amp;T syntax the size of memory operands is determined from the last
character of the instruction mnemonic. Mnemonic suffixes of &lsquo;<samp>b</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>w</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>l</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>q</samp>&rsquo; specify byte (8-bit), word (16-bit), long
(32-bit) and quadruple word (64-bit) memory references. Mnemonic suffixes
of &lsquo;<samp>x</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>y</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>z</samp>&rsquo; specify xmm (128-bit vector), ymm
(256-bit vector) and zmm (512-bit vector) memory references, only when there&rsquo;s
no other way to disambiguate an instruction. Intel syntax accomplishes this by
prefixing memory operands (<em>not</em> the instruction mnemonics) with
&lsquo;<samp>byte ptr</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>word ptr</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>dword ptr</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>qword ptr</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>xmmword ptr</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>ymmword ptr</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>zmmword ptr</samp>&rsquo;. Thus, Intel
syntax &lsquo;<samp>mov al, byte ptr <var>foo</var></samp>&rsquo; is &lsquo;<samp>movb <var>foo</var>, %al</samp>&rsquo; in AT&amp;T
syntax. In Intel syntax, &lsquo;<samp>fword ptr</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>tbyte ptr</samp>&rsquo; and
&lsquo;<samp>oword ptr</samp>&rsquo; specify 48-bit, 80-bit and 128-bit memory references.
<p>In 64-bit code, &lsquo;<samp>movabs</samp>&rsquo; can be used to encode the &lsquo;<samp>mov</samp>&rsquo;
instruction with the 64-bit displacement or immediate operand.

Immediate form long jumps and calls are
&lsquo;<samp>lcall/ljmp $<var>section</var>, $<var>offset</var></samp>&rsquo; in AT&amp;T syntax; the
Intel syntax is
&lsquo;<samp>call/jmp far <var>section</var>:<var>offset</var></samp>&rsquo;. Also, the far return
instruction
is &lsquo;<samp>lret $<var>stack-adjust</var></samp>&rsquo; in AT&amp;T syntax; Intel syntax is
&lsquo;<samp>ret far <var>stack-adjust</var></samp>&rsquo;.

<p>Instruction mnemonics are suffixed with one character modifiers which
specify the size of operands. The letters &lsquo;<samp>b</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>w</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>l</samp>&rsquo;
and &lsquo;<samp>q</samp>&rsquo; specify byte, word, long and quadruple word operands. If
no suffix is specified by an instruction then <code>as</code> tries to
fill in the missing suffix based on the destination register operand
(the last one by convention). Thus, &lsquo;<samp>mov %ax, %bx</samp>&rsquo; is equivalent
to &lsquo;<samp>movw %ax, %bx</samp>&rsquo;; also, &lsquo;<samp>mov $1, %bx</samp>&rsquo; is equivalent to
&lsquo;<samp>movw $1, bx</samp>&rsquo;. Note that this is incompatible with the AT&amp;T Unix
assembler which assumes that a missing mnemonic suffix implies long
operand size. (This incompatibility does not affect compiler output
since compilers always explicitly specify the mnemonic suffix.)
</p>
<p>When there is no sizing suffix and no (suitable) register operands to
deduce the size of memory operands, with a few exceptions and where long
operand size is possible in the first place, operand size will default
to long in 32- and 64-bit modes. Similarly it will default to short in
16-bit mode. Noteworthy exceptions are
</p>
<ul>
<li> Instructions with an implicit on-stack operand as well as branches,
which default to quad in 64-bit mode.
</li><li> Sign- and zero-extending moves, which default to byte size source
operands.
</li><li> Floating point insns with integer operands, which default to short (for
perhaps historical reasons).
</li><li> CRC32 with a 64-bit destination, which defaults to a quad source
operand.

<p>Different encoding options can be specified via pseudo prefixes:
</p>
<ul>
<li> &lsquo;<samp>{disp8}</samp>&rsquo; &ndash; prefer 8-bit displacement.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>{disp32}</samp>&rsquo; &ndash; prefer 32-bit displacement.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>{disp16}</samp>&rsquo; &ndash; prefer 16-bit displacement.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>{load}</samp>&rsquo; &ndash; prefer load-form instruction.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>{store}</samp>&rsquo; &ndash; prefer store-form instruction.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>{vex}</samp>&rsquo; &ndash; encode with VEX prefix.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>{vex3}</samp>&rsquo; &ndash; encode with 3-byte VEX prefix.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>{evex}</samp>&rsquo; &ndash; encode with EVEX prefix.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>{rex}</samp>&rsquo; &ndash; prefer REX prefix for integer and legacy vector
instructions (x86-64 only). Note that this differs from the &lsquo;<samp>rex</samp>&rsquo;
prefix which generates REX prefix unconditionally.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>{nooptimize}</samp>&rsquo; &ndash; disable instruction size optimization.
</li></ul>
<p>Mnemonics of Intel VNNI instructions are encoded with the EVEX prefix
by default. The pseudo &lsquo;<samp>{vex}</samp>&rsquo; prefix can be used to encode
mnemonics of Intel VNNI instructions with the VEX prefix.

<h4 class="subsection">9.16.6 Instruction Prefixes</h4>
<a name="index-i386-instruction-prefixes"></a>
<a name="index-instruction-prefixes_002c-i386"></a>
<a name="index-prefixes_002c-i386"></a>
<p>Instruction prefixes are used to modify the following instruction. They
are used to repeat string instructions, to provide section overrides, to
perform bus lock operations, and to change operand and address sizes.
(Most instructions that normally operate on 32-bit operands will use
16-bit operands if the instruction has an &ldquo;operand size&rdquo; prefix.)
Instruction prefixes are best written on the same line as the instruction
they act upon. For example, the &lsquo;<samp>scas</samp>&rsquo; (scan string) instruction is
repeated with:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> repne scas %es:(%edi),%al
</pre></div>
<p>You may also place prefixes on the lines immediately preceding the
instruction, but this circumvents checks that <code>as</code> does
with prefixes, and will not work with all prefixes.
</p>
<p>Here is a list of instruction prefixes:
</p>
<a name="index-section-override-prefixes_002c-i386"></a>
<ul>
<li> Section override prefixes &lsquo;<samp>cs</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>ds</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>ss</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>es</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>fs</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>gs</samp>&rsquo;. These are automatically added by specifying
using the <var>section</var>:<var>memory-operand</var> form for memory references.
</li><li> <a name="index-size-prefixes_002c-i386"></a>
Operand/Address size prefixes &lsquo;<samp>data16</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>addr16</samp>&rsquo;
change 32-bit operands/addresses into 16-bit operands/addresses,
while &lsquo;<samp>data32</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>addr32</samp>&rsquo; change 16-bit ones (in a
<code>.code16</code> section) into 32-bit operands/addresses. These prefixes
<em>must</em> appear on the same line of code as the instruction they
modify. For example, in a 16-bit <code>.code16</code> section, you might
write:
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> addr32 jmpl *(%ebx)
</pre></div>
</li><li> <a name="index-bus-lock-prefixes_002c-i386"></a>
<a name="index-inhibiting-interrupts_002c-i386"></a>
The bus lock prefix &lsquo;<samp>lock</samp>&rsquo; inhibits interrupts during execution of
the instruction it precedes. (This is only valid with certain
instructions; see a 80386 manual for details).
</li><li> <a name="index-coprocessor-wait_002c-i386"></a>
The wait for coprocessor prefix &lsquo;<samp>wait</samp>&rsquo; waits for the coprocessor to
complete the current instruction. This should never be needed for the
80386/80387 combination.
</li><li> <a name="index-repeat-prefixes_002c-i386"></a>
The &lsquo;<samp>rep</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>repe</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>repne</samp>&rsquo; prefixes are added
to string instructions to make them repeat &lsquo;<samp>%ecx</samp>&rsquo; times (&lsquo;<samp>%cx</samp>&rsquo;
times if the current address size is 16-bits).
</li><li> <a name="index-REX-prefixes_002c-i386"></a>
The &lsquo;<samp>rex</samp>&rsquo; family of prefixes is used by x86-64 to encode
extensions to i386 instruction set. The &lsquo;<samp>rex</samp>&rsquo; prefix has four
bits &mdash; an operand size overwrite (<code>64</code>) used to change operand size
from 32-bit to 64-bit and X, Y and Z extensions bits used to extend the
register set.
<p>You may write the &lsquo;<samp>rex</samp>&rsquo; prefixes directly. The &lsquo;<samp>rex64xyz</samp>&rsquo;
instruction emits &lsquo;<samp>rex</samp>&rsquo; prefix with all the bits set. By omitting
the <code>64</code>, <code>x</code>, <code>y</code> or <code>z</code> you may write other
prefixes as well. Normally, there is no need to write the prefixes
explicitly, since gas will automatically generate them based on the
instruction operands.

<p>An Intel syntax indirect memory reference of the form
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"><var>section</var>:[<var>base</var> + <var>index</var>*<var>scale</var> + <var>disp</var>]
</pre></div>
<p>is translated into the AT&amp;T syntax
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"><var>section</var>:<var>disp</var>(<var>base</var>, <var>index</var>, <var>scale</var>)
</pre></div>
<p>where <var>base</var> and <var>index</var> are the optional 32-bit base and
index registers, <var>disp</var> is the optional displacement, and
<var>scale</var>, taking the values 1, 2, 4, and 8, multiplies <var>index</var>
to calculate the address of the operand. If no <var>scale</var> is
specified, <var>scale</var> is taken to be 1. <var>section</var> specifies the
optional section register for the memory operand, and may override the
default section register (see a 80386 manual for section register
defaults). Note that section overrides in AT&amp;T syntax <em>must</em>
be preceded by a &lsquo;<samp>%</samp>&rsquo;. If you specify a section override which
coincides with the default section register, <code>as</code> does <em>not</em>
output any section register override prefixes to assemble the given
instruction. Thus, section overrides can be specified to emphasize which
section register is used for a given memory operand.
</p>
<p>Here are some examples of Intel and AT&amp;T style memory references:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>AT&amp;T: &lsquo;<samp>-4(%ebp)</samp>&rsquo;, Intel: &lsquo;<samp>[ebp - 4]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p><var>base</var> is &lsquo;<samp>%ebp</samp>&rsquo;; <var>disp</var> is &lsquo;<samp>-4</samp>&rsquo;. <var>section</var> is
missing, and the default section is used (&lsquo;<samp>%ss</samp>&rsquo; for addressing with
&lsquo;<samp>%ebp</samp>&rsquo; as the base register). <var>index</var>, <var>scale</var> are both missing.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>AT&amp;T: &lsquo;<samp>foo(,%eax,4)</samp>&rsquo;, Intel: &lsquo;<samp>[foo + eax*4]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p><var>index</var> is &lsquo;<samp>%eax</samp>&rsquo; (scaled by a <var>scale</var> 4); <var>disp</var> is
&lsquo;<samp>foo</samp>&rsquo;. All other fields are missing. The section register here
defaults to &lsquo;<samp>%ds</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>AT&amp;T: &lsquo;<samp>foo(,1)</samp>&rsquo;; Intel &lsquo;<samp>[foo]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>This uses the value pointed to by &lsquo;<samp>foo</samp>&rsquo; as a memory operand.
Note that <var>base</var> and <var>index</var> are both missing, but there is only
<em>one</em> &lsquo;<samp>,</samp>&rsquo;. This is a syntactic exception.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>AT&amp;T: &lsquo;<samp>%gs:foo</samp>&rsquo;; Intel &lsquo;<samp>gs:foo</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>This selects the contents of the variable &lsquo;<samp>foo</samp>&rsquo; with section
register <var>section</var> being &lsquo;<samp>%gs</samp>&rsquo;.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>Absolute (as opposed to PC relative) call and jump operands must be
prefixed with &lsquo;<samp>*</samp>&rsquo;. If no &lsquo;<samp>*</samp>&rsquo; is specified, <code>as</code>
always chooses PC relative addressing for jump/call labels.
</p>
<p>Any instruction that has a memory operand, but no register operand,
<em>must</em> specify its size (byte, word, long, or quadruple) with an
instruction mnemonic suffix (&lsquo;<samp>b</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>w</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>l</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>q</samp>&rsquo;,
respectively).
</p>
<p>The x86-64 architecture adds an RIP (instruction pointer relative)
addressing. This addressing mode is specified by using &lsquo;<samp>rip</samp>&rsquo; as a
base register. Only constant offsets are valid. For example:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>AT&amp;T: &lsquo;<samp>1234(%rip)</samp>&rsquo;, Intel: &lsquo;<samp>[rip + 1234]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Points to the address 1234 bytes past the end of the current
instruction.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>AT&amp;T: &lsquo;<samp>symbol(%rip)</samp>&rsquo;, Intel: &lsquo;<samp>[rip + symbol]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Points to the <code>symbol</code> in RIP relative way, this is shorter than
the default absolute addressing.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>Other addressing modes remain unchanged in x86-64 architecture, except
registers used are 64-bit instead of 32-bit.

<a name="index-jump-optimization_002c-x86_002d64"></a>
<a name="index-x86_002d64-jump-optimization"></a>
<p>Jump instructions are always optimized to use the smallest possible
displacements. This is accomplished by using byte (8-bit) displacement
jumps whenever the target is sufficiently close. If a byte displacement
is insufficient a long displacement is used. We do not support
word (16-bit) displacement jumps in 32-bit mode (i.e. prefixing the jump
instruction with the &lsquo;<samp>data16</samp>&rsquo; instruction prefix), since the 80386
insists upon masking &lsquo;<samp>%eip</samp>&rsquo; to 16 bits after the word displacement
is added. (See also see <a href="#i386_002dArch">i386-Arch</a>)
</p>
<p>Note that the &lsquo;<samp>jcxz</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>jecxz</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>loop</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>loopz</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>loope</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>loopnz</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>loopne</samp>&rsquo; instructions only come in byte
displacements, so that if you use these instructions (<code>gcc</code> does
not use them) you may get an error message (and incorrect code). The AT&amp;T
80386 assembler tries to get around this problem by expanding &lsquo;<samp>jcxz foo</samp>&rsquo;
to

&lsquo;<samp>l</samp>&rsquo; (long), and &lsquo;<samp>q</samp>&rsquo; (quad). As with the 80-bit real format,
the 64-bit &lsquo;<samp>q</samp>&rsquo; format is only present in the &lsquo;<samp>fildq</samp>&rsquo; (load
quad integer to stack top) and &lsquo;<samp>fistpq</samp>&rsquo; (store quad integer and pop
stack) instructions.
</li></ul>
<p>Register to register operations should not use instruction mnemonic suffixes.
&lsquo;<samp>fstl %st, %st(1)</samp>&rsquo; will give a warning, and be assembled as if you
wrote &lsquo;<samp>fst %st, %st(1)</samp>&rsquo;, since all register to register operations
use 80-bit floating point operands. (Contrast this with &lsquo;<samp>fstl %st, mem</samp>&rsquo;,
which converts &lsquo;<samp>%st</samp>&rsquo; from 80-bit to 64-bit floating point format,
then stores the result in the 4 byte location &lsquo;<samp>mem</samp>&rsquo;)

as the floating point stack.

<p><code>as</code> supports AMD&rsquo;s Lightweight Profiling (LWP)
instruction set, available on AMD&rsquo;s Family 15h (Orochi) processors.
</p>
<p>LWP enables applications to collect and manage performance data, and
react to performance events. The collection of performance data
requires no context switches. LWP runs in the context of a thread and
so several counters can be used independently across multiple threads.
LWP can be used in both 64-bit and legacy 32-bit modes.

<p>While <code>as</code> normally writes only &ldquo;pure&rdquo; 32-bit i386 code
or 64-bit x86-64 code depending on the default configuration,
it also supports writing code to run in real mode or in 16-bit protected
mode code segments. To do this, put a &lsquo;<samp>.code16</samp>&rsquo; or
&lsquo;<samp>.code16gcc</samp>&rsquo; directive before the assembly language instructions to
be run in 16-bit mode. You can switch <code>as</code> to writing
32-bit code with the &lsquo;<samp>.code32</samp>&rsquo; directive or 64-bit code with the
&lsquo;<samp>.code64</samp>&rsquo; directive.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>.code16gcc</samp>&rsquo; provides experimental support for generating 16-bit
code from gcc, and differs from &lsquo;<samp>.code16</samp>&rsquo; in that &lsquo;<samp>call</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>ret</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>enter</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>leave</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>push</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>pop</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>pusha</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>popa</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>pushf</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>popf</samp>&rsquo; instructions
default to 32-bit size. This is so that the stack pointer is
manipulated in the same way over function calls, allowing access to
function parameters at the same stack offsets as in 32-bit mode.
&lsquo;<samp>.code16gcc</samp>&rsquo; also automatically adds address size prefixes where
necessary to use the 32-bit addressing modes that gcc generates.
</p>
<p>The code which <code>as</code> generates in 16-bit mode will not
necessarily run on a 16-bit pre-80386 processor. To write code that
runs on such a processor, you must refrain from using <em>any</em> 32-bit
constructs which require <code>as</code> to output address or operand
size prefixes.
</p>
<p>Note that writing 16-bit code instructions by explicitly specifying a
prefix or an instruction mnemonic suffix within a 32-bit code section
generates different machine instructions than those generated for a
16-bit code segment. In a 32-bit code section, the following code
generates the machine opcode bytes &lsquo;<samp>66 6a 04</samp>&rsquo;, which pushes the
value &lsquo;<samp>4</samp>&rsquo; onto the stack, decrementing &lsquo;<samp>%esp</samp>&rsquo; by 2.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> pushw $4
</pre></div>
<p>The same code in a 16-bit code section would generate the machine
opcode bytes &lsquo;<samp>6a 04</samp>&rsquo; (i.e., without the operand size prefix), which
is correct since the processor default operand size is assumed to be 16
bits in a 16-bit code section.

<p>Apart from the warning, there are only two other effects on
<code>as</code> operation; Firstly, if you specify a CPU other than
&lsquo;<samp>i486</samp>&rsquo;, then shift by one instructions such as &lsquo;<samp>sarl $1, %eax</samp>&rsquo;
will automatically use a two byte opcode sequence. The larger three
byte opcode sequence is used on the 486 (and when no architecture is
specified) because it executes faster on the 486. Note that you can
explicitly request the two byte opcode by writing &lsquo;<samp>sarl %eax</samp>&rsquo;.
Secondly, if you specify &lsquo;<samp>i8086</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>i186</samp>&rsquo;, or &lsquo;<samp>i286</samp>&rsquo;,
<em>and</em> &lsquo;<samp>.code16</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>.code16gcc</samp>&rsquo; then byte offset
conditional jumps will be promoted when necessary to a two instruction
sequence consisting of a conditional jump of the opposite sense around
an unconditional jump to the target.
</p>
<p>Following the CPU architecture (but not a sub-architecture, which are those
starting with a dot), you may specify &lsquo;<samp>jumps</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>nojumps</samp>&rsquo; to
control automatic promotion of conditional jumps. &lsquo;<samp>jumps</samp>&rsquo; is the
default, and enables jump promotion; All external jumps will be of the long
variety, and file-local jumps will be promoted as necessary.
(see <a href="#i386_002dJumps">i386-Jumps</a>) &lsquo;<samp>nojumps</samp>&rsquo; leaves external conditional jumps as
byte offset jumps, and warns about file-local conditional jumps that
<code>as</code> promotes.
Unconditional jumps are treated as for &lsquo;<samp>jumps</samp>&rsquo;.

<h4 class="subsection">9.16.16 AMD64 ISA vs. Intel64 ISA</h4>
<p>There are some discrepancies between AMD64 and Intel64 ISAs.
</p>
<ul>
<li> For &lsquo;<samp>movsxd</samp>&rsquo; with 16-bit destination register, AMD64
supports 32-bit source operand and Intel64 supports 16-bit source
operand.
</li><li> For far branches (with explicit memory operand), both ISAs support
32- and 16-bit operand size. Intel64 additionally supports 64-bit
operand size, encoded as &lsquo;<samp>ljmpq</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>lcallq</samp>&rsquo; in AT&amp;T syntax
and with an explicit &lsquo;<samp>tbyte ptr</samp>&rsquo; operand size specifier in Intel
syntax.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>lfs</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>lgs</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>lss</samp>&rsquo; similarly allow for 16-
and 32-bit operand size (32- and 48-bit memory operand) in both ISAs,
while Intel64 additionally supports 64-bit operand sise (80-bit memory
operands).

<h4 class="subsection">9.16.17 AT&amp;T Syntax bugs</h4>
<p>The UnixWare assembler, and probably other AT&amp;T derived ix86 Unix
assemblers, generate floating point instructions with reversed source
and destination registers in certain cases. Unfortunately, gcc and
possibly many other programs use this reversed syntax, so we&rsquo;re stuck
with it.
</p>
<p>For example
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> fsub %st,%st(3)
</pre></div>
<p>results in &lsquo;<samp>%st(3)</samp>&rsquo; being updated to &lsquo;<samp>%st - %st(3)</samp>&rsquo; rather
than the expected &lsquo;<samp>%st(3) - %st</samp>&rsquo;. This happens with all the
non-commutative arithmetic floating point operations with two register
operands where the source register is &lsquo;<samp>%st</samp>&rsquo; and the destination
register is &lsquo;<samp>%st(i)</samp>&rsquo;.

<a name="index-imul-instruction_002c-x86_002d64"></a>
<p>There is some trickery concerning the &lsquo;<samp>mul</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>imul</samp>&rsquo;
instructions that deserves mention. The 16-, 32-, 64- and 128-bit expanding
multiplies (base opcode &lsquo;<samp>0xf6</samp>&rsquo;; extension 4 for &lsquo;<samp>mul</samp>&rsquo; and 5
for &lsquo;<samp>imul</samp>&rsquo;) can be output only in the one operand form. Thus,
&lsquo;<samp>imul %ebx, %eax</samp>&rsquo; does <em>not</em> select the expanding multiply;
the expanding multiply would clobber the &lsquo;<samp>%edx</samp>&rsquo; register, and this
would confuse <code>gcc</code> output. Use &lsquo;<samp>imul %ebx</samp>&rsquo; to get the
64-bit product in &lsquo;<samp>%edx:%eax</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>We have added a two operand form of &lsquo;<samp>imul</samp>&rsquo; when the first operand
is an immediate mode expression and the second operand is a register.
This is just a shorthand, so that, multiplying &lsquo;<samp>%eax</samp>&rsquo; by 69, for
example, can be done with &lsquo;<samp>imul $69, %eax</samp>&rsquo; rather than &lsquo;<samp>imul
$69, %eax, %eax</samp>&rsquo;.

<dd><p>This option instructs the assembler to mark the resulting object file
as using the &ldquo;constant GP&rdquo; model. With this model, it is assumed
that the entire program uses a single global pointer (GP) value. Note
that this option does not in any fashion affect the machine code
emitted by the assembler. All it does is turn on the EF_IA_64_CONS_GP
flag in the ELF file header.

<dt><samp>-mauto-pic</samp></dt>
<dd><p>This option instructs the assembler to mark the resulting object file
as using the &ldquo;constant GP without function descriptor&rdquo; data model.
This model is like the &ldquo;constant GP&rdquo; model, except that it
additionally does away with function descriptors. What this means is
that the address of a function refers directly to the function&rsquo;s code
entry-point. Normally, such an address would refer to a function
descriptor, which contains both the code entry-point and the GP-value
needed by the function. Note that this option does not in any fashion
affect the machine code emitted by the assembler. All it does is
turn on the EF_IA_64_NOFUNCDESC_CONS_GP flag in the ELF file header.

The 128 floating-point registers are referred to as &lsquo;<samp>f<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo;.
The 128 application registers are referred to as &lsquo;<samp>ar<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo;.
The 128 control registers are referred to as &lsquo;<samp>cr<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo;.
The 64 one-bit predicate registers are referred to as &lsquo;<samp>p<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo;.
The 8 branch registers are referred to as &lsquo;<samp>b<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo;.
In addition, the assembler defines a number of aliases:
&lsquo;<samp>gp</samp>&rsquo; (&lsquo;<samp>r1</samp>&rsquo;), &lsquo;<samp>sp</samp>&rsquo; (&lsquo;<samp>r12</samp>&rsquo;), &lsquo;<samp>rp</samp>&rsquo; (&lsquo;<samp>b0</samp>&rsquo;),

&lsquo;<samp>fret<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo; (&lsquo;<samp>f8+<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo;).
</p>
<p>For convenience, the assembler also defines aliases for all named application
and control registers. For example, &lsquo;<samp>ar.bsp</samp>&rsquo; refers to the register
backing store pointer (&lsquo;<samp>ar17</samp>&rsquo;). Similarly, &lsquo;<samp>cr.eoi</samp>&rsquo; refers to
the end-of-interrupt register (&lsquo;<samp>cr67</samp>&rsquo;).

<p>The assembler supports several modifiers when using relocatable addresses
in LM32 instruction operands. The general syntax is the following:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">modifier(relocatable-expression)
</pre></div>
<dl compact="compact">
<dd><a name="index-symbol-modifiers-1"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>lo</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier allows you to use bits 0 through 15 of
an address expression as 16 bit relocatable expression.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hi</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier allows you to use bits 16 through 23 of an address expression
as 16 bit relocatable expression.
</p>
<p>For example
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">ori r4, r4, lo(sym+10)
orhi r4, r4, hi(sym+10)

<dd>
<p>This modified creates a 16-bit relocatable expression that is
the offset of the symbol from the global pointer.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">mva r4, gp(sym)
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>got</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier places a symbol in the GOT and creates a 16-bit
relocatable expression that is the offset into the GOT of this

<h4 class="subsubsection">9.20.2.1 Symbolic Operand Modifiers</h4>
<a name="index-M32C-modifiers"></a>
<a name="index-modifiers_002c-M32C"></a>
<p>The assembler supports several modifiers when using symbol addresses
in M32C instruction operands. The general syntax is the following:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">%modifier(symbol)
</pre></div>
<dl compact="compact">
<dd><a name="index-symbol-modifiers-2"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>%dsp8</code></dt>
<dt><code>%dsp16</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>These modifiers override the assembler&rsquo;s assumptions about how big a
symbol&rsquo;s address is. Normally, when it sees an operand like
&lsquo;<samp>sym[a0]</samp>&rsquo; it assumes &lsquo;<samp>sym</samp>&rsquo; may require the widest
displacement field (16 bits for &lsquo;<samp>-m16c</samp>&rsquo;, 24 bits for
&lsquo;<samp>-m32c</samp>&rsquo;). These modifiers tell it to assume the address will fit
in an 8 or 16 bit (respectively) unsigned displacement. Note that, of
course, if it doesn&rsquo;t actually fit you will get linker errors. Example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">mov.w %dsp8(sym)[a0],r1
mov.b #0,%dsp8(sym)[a0]
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>%hi8</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier allows you to load bits 16 through 23 of a 24 bit
address into an 8 bit register. This is useful with, for example, the
M16C &lsquo;<samp>smovf</samp>&rsquo; instruction, which expects a 20 bit address in
&lsquo;<samp>r1h</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>a0</samp>&rsquo;. Example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">mov.b #%hi8(sym),r1h
mov.w #%lo16(sym),a0
smovf.b
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>%lo16</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Likewise, this modifier allows you to load bits 0 through 15 of a 24
bit address into a 16 bit register.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>%hi16</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier allows you to load bits 16 through 31 of a 32 bit
address into a 16 bit register. While the M32C family only has 24
bits of address space, it does support addresses in pairs of 16 bit
registers (like &lsquo;<samp>a1a0</samp>&rsquo; for the &lsquo;<samp>lde</samp>&rsquo; instruction). This
modifier is for loading the upper half in such cases. Example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">mov.w #%hi16(sym),a1
mov.w #%lo16(sym),a0
&hellip;
lde.w [a1a0],r1

<h4 class="subsection">9.21.1 M32R Options</h4>
<a name="index-options_002c-M32R"></a>
<a name="index-M32R-options"></a>
<p>The Renesas M32R version of <code>as</code> has a few machine
dependent options:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>-m32rx</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dm32rx-option_002c-M32RX"></a>
<a name="index-architecture-options_002c-M32RX"></a>
<a name="index-M32R-architecture-options"></a>
<p><code>as</code> can assemble code for several different members of the
Renesas M32R family. Normally the default is to assemble code for
the M32R microprocessor. This option may be used to change the default
to the M32RX microprocessor, which adds some more instructions to the
basic M32R instruction set, and some additional parameters to some of
the original instructions.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-m32r2</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dm32rx-option_002c-M32R2"></a>
<a name="index-architecture-options_002c-M32R2"></a>
<a name="index-M32R-architecture-options-1"></a>
<p>This option changes the target processor to the M32R2
microprocessor.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-m32r</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dm32r-option_002c-M32R"></a>
<a name="index-architecture-options_002c-M32R"></a>
<a name="index-M32R-architecture-options-2"></a>
<p>This option can be used to restore the assembler&rsquo;s default behaviour of
assembling for the M32R microprocessor. This can be useful if the
default has been changed by a previous command-line option.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-little</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dlittle-option_002c-M32R"></a>
<p>This option tells the assembler to produce little-endian code and
data. The default is dependent upon how the toolchain was
configured.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-EL</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dEL-option_002c-M32R"></a>
<p>This is a synonym for <em>-little</em>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-big</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dbig-option_002c-M32R"></a>
<p>This option tells the assembler to produce big-endian code and
data.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-EB</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dEB-option_002c-M32R"></a>
<p>This is a synonym for <em>-big</em>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-KPIC</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dKPIC-option_002c-M32R"></a>
<a name="index-PIC-code-generation-for-M32R"></a>
<p>This option specifies that the output of the assembler should be
marked as position-independent code (PIC).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-parallel</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dparallel-option_002c-M32RX"></a>
<p>This option tells the assembler to attempts to combine two sequential
instructions into a single, parallel instruction, where it is legal to
do so.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-no-parallel</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dno_002dparallel-option_002c-M32RX"></a>
<p>This option disables a previously enabled <em>-parallel</em> option.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-no-bitinst</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dno_002dbitinst_002c-M32R2"></a>
<p>This option disables the support for the extended bit-field
instructions provided by the M32R2. If this support needs to be
re-enabled the <em>-bitinst</em> switch can be used to restore it.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-O</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dO-option_002c-M32RX"></a>
<p>This option tells the assembler to attempt to optimize the
instructions that it produces. This includes filling delay slots and
converting sequential instructions into parallel ones. This option
implies <em>-parallel</em>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-warn-explicit-parallel-conflicts</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dwarn_002dexplicit_002dparallel_002dconflicts-option_002c-M32RX"></a>
<p>Instructs <code>as</code> to produce warning messages when
questionable parallel instructions are encountered. This option is
enabled by default, but <code>gcc</code> disables it when it invokes
<code>as</code> directly. Questionable instructions are those whose
behaviour would be different if they were executed sequentially. For
example the code fragment &lsquo;<samp>mv r1, r2 || mv r3, r1</samp>&rsquo; produces a
different result from &lsquo;<samp>mv r1, r2 \n mv r3, r1</samp>&rsquo; since the former
moves r1 into r3 and then r2 into r1, whereas the later moves r2 into r1
and r3.

<dd><a name="index-_002dignore_002dparallel_002dconflicts-option_002c-M32RX"></a>
<p>This option tells the assembler&rsquo;s to stop checking parallel
instructions for constraint violations. This ability is provided for
hardware vendors testing chip designs and should not be used under
normal circumstances.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-no-ignore-parallel-conflicts</code></dt>

pseudo op. The presence of such an unmatched pseudo op usually
indicates a programming error.

<h4 class="subsection">9.21.2 M32R Directives</h4>
<a name="index-directives_002c-M32R"></a>
<a name="index-M32R-directives"></a>
<p>The Renesas M32R version of <code>as</code> has a few architecture
specific directives:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dd>
<a name="index-low-directive_002c-M32R"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>low <var>expression</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>The <code>low</code> directive computes the value of its expression and
places the lower 16-bits of the result into the immediate-field of the
instruction. For example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> or3 r0, r0, #low(0x12345678) ; compute r0 = r0 | 0x5678
add3, r0, r0, #low(fred) ; compute r0 = r0 + low 16-bits of address of fred
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>high <var>expression</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-high-directive_002c-M32R"></a>
<p>The <code>high</code> directive computes the value of its expression and
places the upper 16-bits of the result into the immediate-field of the
instruction. For example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> seth r0, #high(0x12345678) ; compute r0 = 0x12340000
seth, r0, #high(fred) ; compute r0 = upper 16-bits of address of fred
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>shigh <var>expression</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-shigh-directive_002c-M32R"></a>
<p>The <code>shigh</code> directive is very similar to the <code>high</code>
directive. It also computes the value of its expression and places
the upper 16-bits of the result into the immediate-field of the
instruction. The difference is that <code>shigh</code> also checks to see
if the lower 16-bits could be interpreted as a signed number, and if
so it assumes that a borrow will occur from the upper-16 bits. To
compensate for this the <code>shigh</code> directive pre-biases the upper
16 bit value by adding one to it. For example:
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> seth r0, #shigh(0x12345678) ; compute r0 = 0x12340000
seth r0, #shigh(0x00008000) ; compute r0 = 0x00010000
</pre></div>
<p>In the second example the lower 16-bits are 0x8000. If these are
treated as a signed value and sign extended to 32-bits then the value
becomes 0xffff8000. If this value is then added to 0x00010000 then
the result is 0x00008000.
</p>
<p>This behaviour is to allow for the different semantics of the
<code>or3</code> and <code>add3</code> instructions. The <code>or3</code> instruction
treats its 16-bit immediate argument as unsigned whereas the
<code>add3</code> treats its 16-bit immediate as a signed value. So for
example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> seth r0, #shigh(0x00008000)
add3 r0, r0, #low(0x00008000)
</pre></div>
<p>Produces the correct result in r0, whereas:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> seth r0, #shigh(0x00008000)
or3 r0, r0, #low(0x00008000)
</pre></div>
<p>Stores 0xffff8000 into r0.
</p>
<p>Note - the <code>shigh</code> directive does not know where in the assembly
source code the lower 16-bits of the value are going set, so it cannot
check to make sure that an <code>or3</code> instruction is being used rather
than an <code>add3</code> instruction. It is up to the programmer to make
sure that correct directives are used.
</p>
<a name="index-_002em32r-directive_002c-M32R"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>.m32r</code></dt>
<dd><p>The directive performs a similar thing as the <em>-m32r</em> command
line option. It tells the assembler to only accept M32R instructions

<a name="index-branch-improvement_002c-M680x0"></a>
<a name="index-M680x0-branch-improvement"></a>
<p>Certain pseudo opcodes are permitted for branch instructions.
They expand to the shortest branch instruction that reach the
target. Generally these mnemonics are made by substituting &lsquo;<samp>j</samp>&rsquo; for
&lsquo;<samp>b</samp>&rsquo; at the start of a Motorola mnemonic.
</p>
<p>The following table summarizes the pseudo-operations. A <code>*</code> flags
cases that are more fully described after the table:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> Displacement
+------------------------------------------------------------
| 68020 68000/10, not PC-relative OK

* dbXX | N/A dbXXw dbXX;bras;bral dbXX;bras;jmp
fjXX | N/A fbXXw fbXXl N/A
XX: condition
NX: negative of condition XX
</pre></div>
<div align="center"><code>*</code>&mdash;see full description below
</div><div align="center"><code>**</code>&mdash;this expansion mode is disallowed by &lsquo;<samp>--pcrel</samp>&rsquo;
</div>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>jbsr</code></dt>
<dt><code>jra</code></dt>
<dd><p>These are the simplest jump pseudo-operations; they always map to one
particular machine instruction, depending on the displacement to the
branch target. This instruction will be a byte or word branch is that
is sufficient. Otherwise, a long branch will be emitted if available.
If no long branches are available and the &lsquo;<samp>--pcrel</samp>&rsquo; option is not
given, an absolute long jump will be emitted instead. If no long
branches are available, the &lsquo;<samp>--pcrel</samp>&rsquo; option is given, and a word
branch cannot reach the target, an error message is generated.
</p>
<p>In addition to standard branch operands, <code>as</code> allows these
pseudo-operations to have all operands that are allowed for jsr and jmp,
substituting these instructions if the operand given is not valid for a
branch instruction.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>j<var>XX</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Here, &lsquo;<samp>j<var>XX</var></samp>&rsquo; stands for an entire family of pseudo-operations,
where <var>XX</var> is a conditional branch or condition-code test. The full
list of pseudo-ops in this family is:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> jhi jls jcc jcs jne jeq jvc
jvs jpl jmi jge jlt jgt jle
</pre></div>
<p>Usually, each of these pseudo-operations expands to a single branch
instruction. However, if a word branch is not sufficient, no long branches
are available, and the &lsquo;<samp>--pcrel</samp>&rsquo; option is not given, <code>as</code>
issues a longer code fragment in terms of <var>NX</var>, the opposite condition
to <var>XX</var>. For example, under these conditions:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> j<var>XX</var> foo
</pre></div>
<p>gives
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> b<var>NX</var>s oof
jmp foo
oof:

<dt><code>db<var>XX</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>The full family of pseudo-operations covered here is

<pre class="smallexample"> dbhi dbls dbcc dbcs dbne dbeq dbvc
dbvs dbpl dbmi dbge dblt dbgt dble
dbf dbra dbt
</pre></div>
<p>Motorola &lsquo;<samp>db<var>XX</var></samp>&rsquo; instructions allow word displacements only. When
a word displacement is sufficient, each of these pseudo-operations expands
to the corresponding Motorola instruction. When a word displacement is not
sufficient and long branches are available, when the source reads
&lsquo;<samp>db<var>XX</var> foo</samp>&rsquo;, <code>as</code> emits
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> db<var>XX</var> oo1
bras oo2
oo1:bral foo
oo2:
</pre></div>
<p>If, however, long branches are not available and the &lsquo;<samp>--pcrel</samp>&rsquo; option is
not given, <code>as</code> emits
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> db<var>XX</var> oo1
bras oo2
oo1:jmp foo
oo2:
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>fj<var>XX</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>This family includes

<p>Each of these pseudo-operations always expands to a single Motorola
coprocessor branch instruction, word or long. All Motorola coprocessor
branch instructions allow both word and long displacements.

<p>In the M68HC11 syntax, the instruction name comes first and it may
be followed by one or several operands (up to three). Operands are
separated by comma (&lsquo;<samp>,</samp>&rsquo;). In the normal mode,
<code>as</code> will complain if too many operands are specified for
a given instruction. In the MRI mode (turned on with &lsquo;<samp>-M</samp>&rsquo; option),
it will treat them as comments. Example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">inx
lda #23

brclr *bot #8 foo
</pre></div>
<a name="index-line-comment-character_002c-M68HC11"></a>
<a name="index-M68HC11-line-comment-character"></a>
<p>The presence of a &lsquo;<samp>;</samp>&rsquo; character or a &lsquo;<samp>!</samp>&rsquo; character anywhere
on a line indicates the start of a comment that extends to the end of
that line.
</p>
<p>A &lsquo;<samp>*</samp>&rsquo; or a &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; character at the start of a line also
introduces a line comment, but these characters do not work elsewhere
on the line. If the first character of the line is a &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; then as
well as starting a comment, the line could also be logical line number
directive (see <a href="#Comments">Comments</a>) or a preprocessor control command
(see <a href="#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>).

<a name="index-M68HC11-modifiers"></a>
<a name="index-syntax_002c-M68HC11-1"></a>
<p>The assembler supports several modifiers when using symbol addresses
in 68HC11 and 68HC12 instruction operands. The general syntax is
the following:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">%modifier(symbol)
</pre></div>
<dl compact="compact">
<dd><a name="index-symbol-modifiers-3"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>%addr</code></dt>
<dd><p>This modifier indicates to the assembler and linker to use
the 16-bit physical address corresponding to the symbol. This is intended
to be used on memory window systems to map a symbol in the memory bank window.
If the symbol is in a memory expansion part, the physical address
corresponds to the symbol address within the memory bank window.
If the symbol is not in a memory expansion part, this is the symbol address
(using or not using the %addr modifier has no effect in that case).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>%page</code></dt>
<dd><p>This modifier indicates to use the memory page number corresponding
to the symbol. If the symbol is in a memory expansion part, its page
number is computed by the linker as a number used to map the page containing
the symbol in the memory bank window. If the symbol is not in a memory
expansion part, the page number is 0.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>%hi</code></dt>
<dd><p>This modifier indicates to use the 8-bit high part of the physical
address of the symbol.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>%lo</code></dt>
<dd><p>This modifier indicates to use the 8-bit low part of the physical
address of the symbol.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>For example a 68HC12 call to a function &lsquo;<samp>foo_example</samp>&rsquo; stored in memory
expansion part could be written as follows:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">call %addr(foo_example),%page(foo_example)
</pre></div>
<p>and this is equivalent to
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">call foo_example
</pre></div>
<p>And for 68HC11 it could be written as follows:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">ldab #%page(foo_example)
stab _page_switch
jsr %addr(foo_example)

<a name="index-M68HC12-assembler-directives"></a>
<p>The 68HC11 and 68HC12 version of <code>as</code> have the following
specific assembler directives:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>.relax</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-assembler-directive-_002erelax_002c-M68HC11"></a>
<a name="index-M68HC11-assembler-directive-_002erelax"></a>
<p>The relax directive is used by the &lsquo;<samp>GNU Compiler</samp>&rsquo; to emit a specific
relocation to mark a group of instructions for linker relaxation.
The sequence of instructions within the group must be known to the linker
so that relaxation can be performed.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.mode [mshort|mlong|mshort-double|mlong-double]</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-assembler-directive-_002emode_002c-M68HC11"></a>
<a name="index-M68HC11-assembler-directive-_002emode"></a>
<p>This directive specifies the ABI. It overrides the &lsquo;<samp>-mshort</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>-mlong</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>-mshort-double</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>-mlong-double</samp>&rsquo; options.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.far <var>symbol</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-assembler-directive-_002efar_002c-M68HC11"></a>
<a name="index-M68HC11-assembler-directive-_002efar"></a>
<p>This directive marks the symbol as a &lsquo;<samp>far</samp>&rsquo; symbol meaning that it
uses a &lsquo;<samp>call/rtc</samp>&rsquo; calling convention as opposed to &lsquo;<samp>jsr/rts</samp>&rsquo;.
During a final link, the linker will identify references to the &lsquo;<samp>far</samp>&rsquo;
symbol and will verify the proper calling convention.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.interrupt <var>symbol</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-assembler-directive-_002einterrupt_002c-M68HC11"></a>
<a name="index-M68HC11-assembler-directive-_002einterrupt"></a>
<p>This directive marks the symbol as an interrupt entry point.

<h4 class="subsubsection">9.24.2.1 Overview</h4>
<p>In the S12Z syntax, the instruction name comes first and it may
be followed by one, or by several operands.
In most cases the maximum number of operands is three.
Operands are separated by a comma (&lsquo;<samp>,</samp>&rsquo;).
A comma however does not act as a separator if it appears within parentheses
(&lsquo;<samp>()</samp>&rsquo;) or within square brackets (&lsquo;<samp>[]</samp>&rsquo;).
<code>as</code> will complain if too many, too few or inappropriate operands
are specified for a given instruction.
</p>
<p>Some instructions accept and (in certain situations require) a suffix
indicating the size of the operand.
The suffix is separated from the instruction name by a period (&lsquo;<samp>.</samp>&rsquo;)
and may be one of &lsquo;<samp>b</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>w</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>p</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>l</samp>&rsquo; indicating
&lsquo;byte&rsquo; (a single byte), &lsquo;word&rsquo; (2 bytes), &lsquo;pointer&rsquo; (3 bytes) or &lsquo;long&rsquo; (4 bytes)
respectively.
</p>
<p>Example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> bset.b 0xA98, #5
mov.b #6, 0x2409
ld d0, #4
mov.l (d0, x), 0x2409
inc d0
cmp d0, #12
blt *-4
lea x, 0x2409
st y, (1, x)
</pre></div>
<a name="index-line-comment-character_002c-S12Z"></a>
<p>The presence of a &lsquo;<samp>;</samp>&rsquo; character anywhere
on a line indicates the start of a comment that extends to the end of
that line.
</p>
<p>A &lsquo;<samp>*</samp>&rsquo; or a &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; character at the start of a line also
introduces a line comment, but these characters do not work elsewhere
on the line. If the first character of the line is a &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; then as
well as starting a comment, the line could also be logical line number
directive (see <a href="#Comments">Comments</a>) or a preprocessor control command
(see <a href="#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>).

<h4 class="subsubsection">9.24.2.2 Addressing Modes</h4>
<a name="index-S12Z-addressing-modes"></a>
<a name="index-addressing-modes_002c-S12Z"></a>
<p>The following addressing modes are understood for the S12Z.
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><em>Immediate</em></dt>
<dd><p>&lsquo;<samp>#<var>number</var></samp>&rsquo;
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>Immediate Bit Field</em></dt>
<dd><p>&lsquo;<samp>#<var>width</var>:<var>offset</var></samp>&rsquo;
</p>
<p>Bit field instructions in the immediate mode require the width and offset to
be specified.
The <var>width</var> parameter specifies the number of bits in the field.
It should be a number in the range [1,32].
<var>Offset</var> determines the position within the field where the operation
should start.
It should be a number in the range [0,31].
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>Relative</em></dt>
<dd><p>&lsquo;<samp>*<var>symbol</var></samp>&rsquo;, or &lsquo;<samp>*[+-]<var>digits</var></samp>&rsquo;
</p>
<p>Program counter relative addresses have a width of 15 bits.
Thus, they must be within the range [-32768, 32767].
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>Register</em></dt>
<dd><p>&lsquo;<samp><var>reg</var></samp>&rsquo;
</p>
<a name="index-register-names_002c-S12Z"></a>
<p>Some instructions accept a register as an operand.
In general, <var>reg</var> may be a
data register (&lsquo;<samp>D0</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>D1</samp>&rsquo; &hellip; &lsquo;<samp>D7</samp>&rsquo;),
the &lsquo;<samp>X</samp>&rsquo; register or the &lsquo;<samp>Y</samp>&rsquo; register.
</p>
<p>A few instructions accept as an argument the stack pointer
register (&lsquo;<samp>S</samp>&rsquo;), and/or the program counter (&lsquo;<samp>P</samp>&rsquo;).
</p>
<p>Some very special instructions accept arguments which refer to the
condition code register. For these arguments the syntax is
&lsquo;<samp>CCR</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>CCH</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>CCL</samp>&rsquo; which refer to the complete
condition code register, the condition code register high byte
and the condition code register low byte respectively.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>Absolute Direct</em></dt>
<dd><p>&lsquo;<samp><var>symbol</var></samp>&rsquo;, or &lsquo;<samp><var>digits</var></samp>&rsquo;
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>Absolute Indirect</em></dt>
<dd><p>&lsquo;<samp>[<var>symbol</var></samp>&rsquo;, or &lsquo;<samp><var>digits</var>]</samp>&rsquo;
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>Constant Offset Indexed</em></dt>
<dd><p>&lsquo;<samp>(<var>number</var>,<var>reg</var>)</samp>&rsquo;
</p>
<p><var>Reg</var> may be either &lsquo;<samp>X</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>Y</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>S</samp>&rsquo; or
&lsquo;<samp>P</samp>&rsquo; or one of the data registers &lsquo;<samp>D0</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>D1</samp>&rsquo; &hellip;
&lsquo;<samp>D7</samp>&rsquo;.
If any of the registers &lsquo;<samp>D2</samp>&rsquo; &hellip; &lsquo;<samp>D5</samp>&rsquo; are specified, then the
register value is treated as a signed value.
Otherwise it is treated as unsigned.
<var>Number</var> may be any integer in the range [-8388608,8388607].
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>Offset Indexed Indirect</em></dt>
<dd><p>&lsquo;<samp>[<var>number</var>,<var>reg</var>]</samp>&rsquo;
</p>
<p><var>Reg</var> may be either &lsquo;<samp>X</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>Y</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>S</samp>&rsquo; or
&lsquo;<samp>P</samp>&rsquo;.
<var>Number</var> may be any integer in the range [-8388608,8388607].
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>Auto Pre-Increment/Pre-Decrement/Post-Increment/Post-Decrement</em></dt>
<dd><p>&lsquo;<samp>-<var>reg</var></samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>+<var>reg</var></samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp><var>reg</var>-</samp>&rsquo; or
&lsquo;<samp><var>reg</var>+</samp>&rsquo;
</p>
<p>This addressing mode is typically used to access a value at an address,
and simultaneously to increment/decrement the register pointing to that
address.
Thus <var>reg</var> may be any of the 24 bit registers &lsquo;<samp>X</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>Y</samp>&rsquo;, or
&lsquo;<samp>S</samp>&rsquo;.
Pre-increment and post-decrement are not available for
register &lsquo;<samp>S</samp>&rsquo; (only post-increment and pre-decrement are available).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>Register Offset Direct</em></dt>
<dd><p>&lsquo;<samp>(<var>data-reg</var>,<var>reg</var>)</samp>&rsquo;
</p>
<p><var>Reg</var> can be either &lsquo;<samp>X</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>Y</samp>&rsquo;, or &lsquo;<samp>S</samp>&rsquo;.
<var>Data-reg</var>
must be one of the data registers &lsquo;<samp>D0</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>D1</samp>&rsquo; &hellip; &lsquo;<samp>D7</samp>&rsquo;.
If any of the registers &lsquo;<samp>D2</samp>&rsquo; &hellip; &lsquo;<samp>D5</samp>&rsquo; are specified, then
the register value is treated as a signed value.
Otherwise it is treated as unsigned.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>Register Offset Indirect</em></dt>
<dd><p>&lsquo;<samp>[<var>data-reg</var>,<var>reg</var>]</samp>&rsquo;
</p>
<p><var>Reg</var> can be either &lsquo;<samp>X</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>Y</samp>&rsquo;.
<var>Data-reg</var>
must be one of the data registers &lsquo;<samp>D0</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>D1</samp>&rsquo; &hellip; &lsquo;<samp>D7</samp>&rsquo;.
If any of the registers &lsquo;<samp>D2</samp>&rsquo; &hellip; &lsquo;<samp>D5</samp>&rsquo; are specified, then
the register value is treated as a signed value.
Otherwise it is treated as unsigned.

<a name="Register-Notation"></a>
<h4 class="subsubsection">9.24.2.3 Register Notation</h4>
<a name="index-register-notation_002c-S12Z"></a>
<p>Without a register prefix (see <a href="#S12Z-Options">S12Z Options</a>), S12Z assembler code is expected in the traditional
format like this:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">lea s, (-2,s)
st d2, (0,s)
ld x, symbol
tfr d2, d6
cmp d6, #1532
</pre></div>
<p>However, if <code>as</code> is started with (for example) &lsquo;<samp>-mreg-prefix=%</samp>&rsquo;
then all register names must be prefixed with &lsquo;<samp>%</samp>&rsquo; as follows:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">lea %s, (-2,%s)
st %d2, (0,%s)
ld %x, symbol
tfr %d2, %d6
cmp %d6, #1532
</pre></div>
<p>The register prefix feature is intended to be used by compilers
to avoid ambiguity between symbols and register names.
Consider the following assembler instruction:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">st d0, d1
</pre></div>
<p>The destination operand of this instruction could either refer to the register
&lsquo;<samp>D1</samp>&rsquo;, or it could refer to the symbol named &ldquo;d1&rdquo;.
If the latter is intended then <code>as</code> must be invoked with
&lsquo;<samp>-mreg-prefix=<var>pfx</var></samp>&rsquo; and the code written as
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">st <var>pfx</var>d0, d1
</pre></div>
<p>where <var>pfx</var> is the chosen register prefix.
For this reason, compiler back-ends should choose a register prefix which
cannot be confused with a symbol name.

<dt><code>-mfp32</code></dt>
<dd><p>Some macros have different expansions for 32-bit and 64-bit registers.
The register sizes are normally inferred from the ISA and ABI, but these
flags force a certain group of registers to be treated as 32 bits wide at

and &lsquo;<samp>-mfp32</samp>&rsquo; controls the size of floating-point registers.

<p>The <code>.set gp=32</code> and <code>.set fp=32</code> directives allow the size
of registers to be changed for parts of an object. The default value is
restored by <code>.set gp=default</code> and <code>.set fp=default</code>.
</p>
<p>On some MIPS variants there is a 32-bit mode flag; when this flag is
set, 64-bit instructions generate a trap. Also, some 32-bit OSes only
save the 32-bit registers on a context switch, so it is essential never

<p>The <code>BC1ANY2F</code>, <code>BC1ANY2T</code>, <code>BC1ANY4F</code>, <code>BC1ANY4T</code>,
<code>BPOSGE32</code> and <code>BPOSGE64</code> instructions are excluded from
relaxation, because they have no complementing counterparts. They could
be relaxed with the use of a longer sequence involving another branch,
however this has not been implemented and if their target turns out of
reach, they produce an error even if branch relaxation is enabled.
</p>
<p>Also no MIPS16 branches are ever relaxed.
</p>
<p>By default &lsquo;<samp>--no-relax-branch</samp>&rsquo; is selected, causing any out-of-range
branches to produce an error.

</p>
<p>The semantics of branches does not provide for an ISA mode switch, so in
most cases the ISA mode a branch has been encoded for has to be the same
as the ISA mode of the branch&rsquo;s target label. If the ISA modes do not
match, then such a branch, if taken, will cause the ISA mode to remain
unchanged and instructions that follow will be executed in the wrong ISA
mode causing the program to misbehave or crash.
</p>
<p>In the case of the <code>BAL</code> instruction it may be possible to relax
it to an equivalent <code>JALX</code> instruction so that the ISA mode is
switched at the run time as required. For other branches no relaxation
is possible and therefore GAS has checks implemented that verify in
branch assembly that the two ISA modes match, and report an error
otherwise so that the problem with code can be diagnosed at the assembly
time rather than at the run time.
</p>
<p>However some assembly code, including generated code produced by some
versions of GCC, may incorrectly include branches to data labels, which
appear to require a mode switch but are either dead or immediately
followed by valid instructions encoded for the same ISA the branch has
been encoded for. While not strictly correct at the source level such
code will execute as intended, so to help with these cases
&lsquo;<samp>-mignore-branch-isa</samp>&rsquo; is supported which disables ISA mode checks
for branches.
</p>
<p>By default &lsquo;<samp>-mno-ignore-branch-isa</samp>&rsquo; is selected, causing any invalid

<h4 class="subsection">9.27.2 High-level assembly macros</h4>
<p>MIPS assemblers have traditionally provided a wider range of
instructions than the MIPS architecture itself. These extra
instructions are usually referred to as &ldquo;macro&rdquo; instructions
<a name="DOCF2" href="#FOOT2"><sup>2</sup></a>.
</p>
<p>Some MIPS macro instructions extend an underlying architectural instruction
while others are entirely new. An example of the former type is <code>and</code>,
which allows the third operand to be either a register or an arbitrary
immediate value. Examples of the latter type include <code>bgt</code>, which
branches to the third operand when the first operand is greater than
the second operand, and <code>ulh</code>, which implements an unaligned
2-byte load.
</p>
<p>One of the most common extensions provided by macros is to expand
memory offsets to the full address range (32 or 64 bits) and to allow
symbolic offsets such as &lsquo;<samp>my_data + 4</samp>&rsquo; to be used in place of
integer constants. For example, the architectural instruction
<code>lbu</code> allows only a signed 16-bit offset, whereas the macro
<code>lbu</code> allows code such as &lsquo;<samp>lbu $4,array+32769($5)</samp>&rsquo;.
The implementation of these symbolic offsets depends on several factors,
such as whether the assembler is generating SVR4-style PIC (selected by
<samp>-KPIC</samp>, see <a href="#MIPS-Options">Assembler options</a>), the size of symbols
(see <a href="#MIPS-Symbol-Sizes">Directives to override the size of symbols</a>),
and the small data limit (see <a href="#MIPS-Small-Data">Controlling the use
of small data accesses</a>).
</p>
<a name="index-_002eset-macro"></a>
<a name="index-_002eset-nomacro"></a>
<p>Sometimes it is undesirable to have one assembly instruction expand
to several machine instructions. The directive <code>.set nomacro</code>
tells the assembler to warn when this happens. <code>.set macro</code>
restores the default behavior.
</p>
<a name="index-at-register_002c-MIPS"></a>
<a name="index-_002eset-at_003dreg"></a>
<p>Some macro instructions need a temporary register to store intermediate
results. This register is usually <code>$1</code>, also known as <code>$at</code>,
but it can be changed to any core register <var>reg</var> using
<code>.set at=<var>reg</var></code>. Note that <code>$at</code> always refers
to <code>$1</code> regardless of which register is being used as the
temporary register.
</p>
<a name="index-_002eset-at"></a>
<a name="index-_002eset-noat"></a>
<p>Implicit uses of the temporary register in macros could interfere with
explicit uses in the assembly code. The assembler therefore warns
whenever it sees an explicit use of the temporary register. The directive
<code>.set noat</code> silences this warning while <code>.set at</code> restores
the default behavior. It is safe to use <code>.set noat</code> while
<code>.set nomacro</code> is in effect since single-instruction macros
never need a temporary register.
</p>
<p>Note that while the <small>GNU</small> assembler provides these macros for compatibility,
it does not make any attempt to optimize them with the surrounding code.

<a name="index-_002eset-sym32"></a>
<a name="index-_002eset-nosym32"></a>
<p>The n64 ABI allows symbols to have any 64-bit value. Although this
provides a great deal of flexibility, it means that some macros have
much longer expansions than their 32-bit counterparts. For example,
the non-PIC expansion of &lsquo;<samp>dla $4,sym</samp>&rsquo; is usually:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">lui $4,%highest(sym)
lui $1,%hi(sym)
daddiu $4,$4,%higher(sym)
daddiu $1,$1,%lo(sym)
dsll32 $4,$4,0
daddu $4,$4,$1
</pre></div>
<p>whereas the 32-bit expansion is simply:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">lui $4,%hi(sym)
daddiu $4,$4,%lo(sym)
</pre></div>
<p>n64 code is sometimes constructed in such a way that all symbolic
constants are known to have 32-bit values, and in such cases, it&rsquo;s
preferable to use the 32-bit expansion instead of the 64-bit
expansion.
</p>
<p>You can use the <code>.set sym32</code> directive to tell the assembler
that, from this point on, all expressions of the form
&lsquo;<samp><var>symbol</var></samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp><var>symbol</var> + <var>offset</var></samp>&rsquo;
have 32-bit values. For example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.set sym32
dla $4,sym
lw $4,sym+16
sw $4,sym+0x8000($4)
</pre></div>
<p>will cause the assembler to treat &lsquo;<samp>sym</samp>&rsquo;, <code>sym+16</code> and
<code>sym+0x8000</code> as 32-bit values. The handling of non-symbolic
addresses is not affected.
</p>
<p>The directive <code>.set nosym32</code> ends a <code>.set sym32</code> block and
reverts to the normal behavior. It is also possible to change the
symbol size using the command-line options <samp>-msym32</samp> and
<samp>-mno-sym32</samp>.
</p>
<p>These options and directives are always accepted, but at present,
they have no effect for anything other than n64.

<a name="index-small-data_002c-MIPS"></a>
<a name="index-gp-register_002c-MIPS"></a>
<p>It often takes several instructions to load the address of a symbol.
For example, when &lsquo;<samp>addr</samp>&rsquo; is a 32-bit symbol, the non-PIC expansion
of &lsquo;<samp>dla $4,addr</samp>&rsquo; is usually:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">lui $4,%hi(addr)
daddiu $4,$4,%lo(addr)
</pre></div>
<p>The sequence is much longer when &lsquo;<samp>addr</samp>&rsquo; is a 64-bit symbol.
See <a href="#MIPS-Symbol-Sizes">Directives to override the size of symbols</a>.
</p>
<p>In order to cut down on this overhead, most embedded MIPS systems
set aside a 64-kilobyte &ldquo;small data&rdquo; area and guarantee that all
data of size <var>n</var> and smaller will be placed in that area.
The limit <var>n</var> is passed to both the assembler and the linker
using the command-line option <samp>-G <var>n</var></samp>, see <a href="#MIPS-Options">Assembler options</a>. Note that the same value of <var>n</var> must be used
when linking and when assembling all input files to the link; any
inconsistency could cause a relocation overflow error.
</p>
<p>The size of an object in the <code>.bss</code> section is set by the
<code>.comm</code> or <code>.lcomm</code> directive that defines it. The size of
an external object may be set with the <code>.extern</code> directive. For
example, &lsquo;<samp>.extern sym,4</samp>&rsquo; declares that the object at <code>sym</code>
is 4 bytes in length, while leaving <code>sym</code> otherwise undefined.
</p>
<p>When no <samp>-G</samp> option is given, the default limit is 8 bytes.
The option <samp>-G 0</samp> prevents any data from being automatically
classified as small.
</p>
<p>It is also possible to mark specific objects as small by putting them
in the special sections <code>.sdata</code> and <code>.sbss</code>, which are
&ldquo;small&rdquo; counterparts of <code>.data</code> and <code>.bss</code> respectively.
The toolchain will treat such data as small regardless of the
<samp>-G</samp> setting.
</p>
<p>On startup, systems that support a small data area are expected to
initialize register <code>$28</code>, also known as <code>$gp</code>, in such a
way that small data can be accessed using a 16-bit offset from that
register. For example, when &lsquo;<samp>addr</samp>&rsquo; is small data,
the &lsquo;<samp>dla $4,addr</samp>&rsquo; instruction above is equivalent to:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">daddiu $4,$28,%gp_rel(addr)
</pre></div>
<p>Small data is not supported for SVR4-style PIC.

<a name="index-MIPS-ISA-override"></a>
<a name="index-_002eset-mipsn"></a>
<p><small>GNU</small> <code>as</code> supports an additional directive to change
the MIPS Instruction Set Architecture level on the fly: <code>.set
mips<var>n</var></code>. <var>n</var> should be a number from 0 to 5, or 32, 32r2, 32r3,
32r5, 32r6, 64, 64r2, 64r3, 64r5 or 64r6.
The values other than 0 make the assembler accept instructions
for the corresponding ISA level, from that point on in the
assembly. <code>.set mips<var>n</var></code> affects not only which instructions
are permitted, but also how certain macros are expanded. <code>.set
mips0</code> restores the ISA level to its original level: either the
level you selected with command-line options, or the default for your
configuration. You can use this feature to permit specific MIPS III
instructions while assembling in 32 bit mode. Use this directive with
care!
</p>
<a name="index-MIPS-CPU-override"></a>
<a name="index-_002eset-arch_003dcpu"></a>
<p>The <code>.set arch=<var>cpu</var></code> directive provides even finer control.
It changes the effective CPU target and allows the assembler to use
instructions specific to a particular CPU. All CPUs supported by the
&lsquo;<samp>-march</samp>&rsquo; command-line option are also selectable by this directive.
The original value is restored by <code>.set arch=default</code>.
</p>
<p>The directive <code>.set mips16</code> puts the assembler into MIPS 16 mode,
in which it will assemble instructions for the MIPS 16 processor. Use
<code>.set nomips16</code> to return to normal 32 bit mode.

<a name="index-_002einsn"></a>
<p>The <code>.insn</code> directive tells <code>as</code> that the following
data is actually instructions. This makes a difference in MIPS 16 and
microMIPS modes: when loading the address of a label which precedes
instructions, <code>as</code> automatically adds 1 to the value, so
that jumping to the loaded address will do the right thing.
</p>
<a name="index-_002eglobal"></a>
<p>The <code>.global</code> and <code>.globl</code> directives supported by
<code>as</code> will by default mark the symbol as pointing to a
region of data not code. This means that, for example, any
instructions following such a symbol will not be disassembled by
<code>objdump</code> as it will regard them as data. To change this
behavior an optional section name can be placed after the symbol name
in the <code>.global</code> directive. If this section exists and is known
to be a code section, then the symbol will be marked as pointing at
code not data. Ie the syntax for the directive is:
</p>
<p><code>.global <var>symbol</var>[ <var>section</var>][, <var>symbol</var>[ <var>section</var>]] ...</code>,

<p>Here is a short example:

<a name="index-_002emodule-fp_003dnn-directive_002c-MIPS"></a>
<p>In order to simplify and add safety to the process of selecting the
correct floating-point ABI, the assembler will automatically infer the
correct <code>.gnu_attribute 4, <var>n</var></code> directive based on command-line
options and <code>.module</code> overrides. Where an explicit
<code>.gnu_attribute 4, <var>n</var></code> directive has been seen then a warning
will be raised if it does not match an inferred setting.
</p>
<p>The floating-point ABI is inferred as follows. If &lsquo;<samp>-msoft-float</samp>&rsquo;
has been used the module will be marked as soft-float. If
&lsquo;<samp>-msingle-float</samp>&rsquo; has been used then the module will be marked as
single-precision. The remaining ABIs are then selected based
on the FP register width. Double-precision is selected if the width
of GP and FP registers match and the special double-precision variants
for 32-bit ABIs are then selected depending on &lsquo;<samp>-mfpxx</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>-mfp64</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>-mno-odd-spreg</samp>&rsquo;.

<p>Modules using the default FP ABI (no floating-point) can be linked with
any other (singular) FP ABI variant.
</p>
<p>Special compatibility support exists for O32 with the four
double-precision FP ABI variants. The &lsquo;<samp>-mfpxx</samp>&rsquo; FP ABI is specifically
designed to be compatible with the standard double-precision ABI and the
&lsquo;<samp>-mfp64</samp>&rsquo; FP ABIs. This makes it desirable for O32 modules to be
built as &lsquo;<samp>-mfpxx</samp>&rsquo; to ensure the maximum compatibility with other
modules produced for more specific needs. The only FP ABIs which cannot
be linked together are the standard double-precision ABI and the full
&lsquo;<samp>-mfp64</samp>&rsquo; ABI with &lsquo;<samp>-modd-spreg</samp>&rsquo;.

<h4 class="subsection">9.27.10 Directives to record which NaN encoding is being used</h4>
<a name="index-MIPS-IEEE-754-NaN-data-encoding-selection"></a>
<a name="index-_002enan-directive_002c-MIPS"></a>
<p>The IEEE 754 floating-point standard defines two types of not-a-number
(NaN) data: &ldquo;signalling&rdquo; NaNs and &ldquo;quiet&rdquo; NaNs. The original version
of the standard did not specify how these two types should be
distinguished. Most implementations followed the i387 model, in which
the first bit of the significand is set for quiet NaNs and clear for
signalling NaNs. However, the original MIPS implementation assigned the
opposite meaning to the bit, so that it was set for signalling NaNs and
clear for quiet NaNs.
</p>
<p>The 2008 revision of the standard formally suggested the i387 choice
and as from Sep 2012 the current release of the MIPS architecture
therefore optionally supports that form. Code that uses one NaN encoding
would usually be incompatible with code that uses the other NaN encoding,
so MIPS ELF objects have a flag (<code>EF_MIPS_NAN2008</code>) to record which
encoding is being used.
</p>
<p>Assembly files can use the <code>.nan</code> directive to select between the
two encodings. &lsquo;<samp>.nan 2008</samp>&rsquo; says that the assembly file uses the
IEEE 754-2008 encoding while &lsquo;<samp>.nan legacy</samp>&rsquo; says that the file uses
the original MIPS encoding. If several <code>.nan</code> directives are given,
the final setting is the one that is used.
</p>
<p>The command-line options <samp>-mnan=legacy</samp> and <samp>-mnan=2008</samp>
can be used instead of &lsquo;<samp>.nan legacy</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>.nan 2008</samp>&rsquo;
respectively. However, any <code>.nan</code> directive overrides the
command-line setting.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>.nan legacy</samp>&rsquo; is the default if no <code>.nan</code> directive or
<samp>-mnan</samp> option is given.
</p>
<p>Note that <small>GNU</small> <code>as</code> does not produce NaNs itself and
therefore these directives do not affect code generation. They simply
control the setting of the <code>EF_MIPS_NAN2008</code> flag.
</p>
<p>Traditional MIPS assemblers do not support these directives.

<p>The &lsquo;<samp>--relax</samp>&rsquo; option is not fully supported, but will eventually make
the object file prepared for linker relaxation.

<p>If you want to avoid inadvertently calling a predefined symbol and would
rather get an error, for example when using <code>as</code> with a
compiler or other machine-generated code, specify
&lsquo;<samp>--no-predefined-syms</samp>&rsquo;. This turns off built-in predefined
definitions of all such symbols, including rounding-mode symbols, segment
symbols, &lsquo;<samp>BIT</samp>&rsquo; symbols, and <code>TRAP</code> symbols used in <code>mmix</code>
&ldquo;system calls&rdquo;. It also turns off predefined special-register names,
except when used in <code>PUT</code> and <code>GET</code> instructions.
</p>
<a name="index-_002d_002dno_002dexpand-command_002dline-option_002c-MMIX"></a>
<p>By default, some instructions are expanded to fit the size of the operand
or an external symbol (see <a href="#MMIX_002dExpand">MMIX-Expand</a>). By passing
&lsquo;<samp>--no-expand</samp>&rsquo;, no such expansion will be done, instead causing errors
at link time if the operand does not fit.
</p>
<a name="index-_002d_002dno_002dmerge_002dgregs-command_002dline-option_002c-MMIX"></a>
<p>The <code>mmixal</code> documentation (see <a href="#mmixsite">mmixsite</a>) specifies that global
registers allocated with the &lsquo;<samp>GREG</samp>&rsquo; directive (see <a href="#MMIX_002dgreg">MMIX-greg</a>) and
initialized to the same non-zero value, will refer to the same global
register. This isn&rsquo;t strictly enforceable in <code>as</code> since the
final addresses aren&rsquo;t known until link-time, but it will do an effort
unless the &lsquo;<samp>--no-merge-gregs</samp>&rsquo; option is specified. (Register merging
isn&rsquo;t yet implemented in <code>ld</code>.)
</p>
<a name="index-_002dx-command_002dline-option_002c-MMIX"></a>
<p><code>as</code> will warn every time it expands an instruction to fit an
operand unless the option &lsquo;<samp>-x</samp>&rsquo; is specified. It is believed that
this behaviour is more useful than just mimicking <code>mmixal</code>&rsquo;s
behaviour, in which instructions are only expanded if the &lsquo;<samp>-x</samp>&rsquo; option
is specified, and assembly fails otherwise, when an instruction needs to
be expanded. It needs to be kept in mind that <code>mmixal</code> is both an
assembler and linker, while <code>as</code> will expand instructions
that at link stage can be contracted. (Though linker relaxation isn&rsquo;t yet
implemented in <code>ld</code>.) The option &lsquo;<samp>-x</samp>&rsquo; also implies
&lsquo;<samp>--linker-allocated-gregs</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<a name="index-_002d_002dno_002dpushj_002dstubs-command_002dline-option_002c-MMIX"></a>
<a name="index-_002d_002dno_002dstubs-command_002dline-option_002c-MMIX"></a>
<p>If instruction expansion is enabled, <code>as</code> can expand a
&lsquo;<samp>PUSHJ</samp>&rsquo; instruction into a series of instructions. The shortest
expansion is to not expand it, but just mark the call as redirectable to a
stub, which <code>ld</code> creates at link-time, but only if the
original &lsquo;<samp>PUSHJ</samp>&rsquo; instruction is found not to reach the target. The
stub consists of the necessary instructions to form a jump to the target.
This happens if <code>as</code> can assert that the &lsquo;<samp>PUSHJ</samp>&rsquo;
instruction can reach such a stub. The option &lsquo;<samp>--no-pushj-stubs</samp>&rsquo;
disables this shorter expansion, and the longer series of instructions is
then created at assembly-time. The option &lsquo;<samp>--no-stubs</samp>&rsquo; is a synonym,
intended for compatibility with future releases, where generation of stubs
for other instructions may be implemented.
</p>
<a name="index-_002d_002dlinker_002dallocated_002dgregs-command_002dline-option_002c-MMIX"></a>
<p>Usually a two-operand-expression (see <a href="#GREG_002dbase">GREG-base</a>) without a matching
&lsquo;<samp>GREG</samp>&rsquo; directive is treated as an error by <code>as</code>. When
the option &lsquo;<samp>--linker-allocated-gregs</samp>&rsquo; is in effect, they are instead
passed through to the linker, which will allocate as many global registers
as is needed.

<p>When <code>as</code> encounters an instruction with an operand that is
either not known or does not fit the operand size of the instruction,
<code>as</code> (and <code>ld</code>) will expand the instruction into
a sequence of instructions semantically equivalent to the operand fitting
the instruction. Expansion will take place for the following
instructions:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>GETA</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Expands to a sequence of four instructions: <code>SETL</code>, <code>INCML</code>,
<code>INCMH</code> and <code>INCH</code>. The operand must be a multiple of four.
</p></dd>
<dt>Conditional branches</dt>
<dd><p>A branch instruction is turned into a branch with the complemented
condition and prediction bit over five instructions; four instructions
setting <code>$255</code> to the operand value, which like with <code>GETA</code> must
be a multiple of four, and a final <code>GO $255,$255,0</code>.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>PUSHJ</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Similar to expansion for conditional branches; four instructions set
<code>$255</code> to the operand value, followed by a <code>PUSHGO $255,$255,0</code>.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>JMP</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Similar to conditional branches and <code>PUSHJ</code>. The final instruction
is <code>GO $255,$255,0</code>.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>The linker <code>ld</code> is expected to shrink these expansions for
code assembled with &lsquo;<samp>--relax</samp>&rsquo; (though not currently implemented).

Programming, Volume 1</samp>&rsquo;. Draft versions of those chapters as well as other
MMIX information is located at
<a name="mmixsite"></a><a href="http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmix-news.html">http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmix-news.html</a>.
Most code examples from the mmixal package located there should work
unmodified when assembled and linked as single files, with a few
noteworthy exceptions (see <a href="#MMIX_002dmmixal">MMIX-mmixal</a>).
</p>
<p>Before an instruction is emitted, the current location is aligned to the
next four-byte boundary. If a label is defined at the beginning of the
line, its value will be the aligned value.
</p>
<p>In addition to the traditional hex-prefix &lsquo;<samp>0x</samp>&rsquo;, a hexadecimal number
can also be specified by the prefix character &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>After all operands to an MMIX instruction or directive have been

<p>The characters &lsquo;<samp>*</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; are line comment characters; each
start a comment at the beginning of a line, but only at the beginning of a
line. A &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; prefixes a hexadecimal number if found elsewhere on a
line. If a &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; appears at the start of a line the whole line is
treated as a comment, but the line can also act as a logical line
number directive (see <a href="#Comments">Comments</a>) or a preprocessor control command
(see <a href="#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>).
</p>
<p>Two other characters, &lsquo;<samp>%</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>!</samp>&rsquo;, each start a comment anywhere
on the line. Thus you can&rsquo;t use the &lsquo;<samp>modulus</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>not</samp>&rsquo;
operators in expressions normally associated with these two characters.
</p>
<p>A &lsquo;<samp>;</samp>&rsquo; is a line separator, treated as a new-line, so separate
instructions can be specified on a single line.

<h4 class="subsubsection">9.28.3.2 Symbols</h4>
<p>The character &lsquo;<samp>:</samp>&rsquo; is permitted in identifiers. There are two
exceptions to it being treated as any other symbol character: if a symbol
begins with &lsquo;<samp>:</samp>&rsquo;, it means that the symbol is in the global namespace
and that the current prefix should not be prepended to that symbol
(see <a href="#MMIX_002dprefix">MMIX-prefix</a>). The &lsquo;<samp>:</samp>&rsquo; is then not considered part of the
symbol. For a symbol in the label position (first on a line), a &lsquo;<samp>:</samp>&rsquo;
at the end of a symbol is silently stripped off. A label is permitted,
but not required, to be followed by a &lsquo;<samp>:</samp>&rsquo;, as with many other
assembly formats.
</p>
<p>The character &lsquo;<samp>@</samp>&rsquo; in an expression, is a synonym for &lsquo;<samp>.</samp>&rsquo;, the
current location.
</p>
<p>In addition to the common forward and backward local symbol formats
(see <a href="#Symbol-Names">Symbol Names</a>), they can be specified with upper-case &lsquo;<samp>B</samp>&rsquo; and
&lsquo;<samp>F</samp>&rsquo;, as in &lsquo;<samp>8B</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>9F</samp>&rsquo;. A local label defined for the
current position is written with a &lsquo;<samp>H</samp>&rsquo; appended to the number:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">3H LDB $0,$1,2
</pre></div>
<p>This and traditional local-label formats cannot be mixed: a label must be
defined and referred to using the same format.
</p>
<p>There&rsquo;s a minor caveat: just as for the ordinary local symbols, the local
symbols are translated into ordinary symbols using control characters are
to hide the ordinal number of the symbol. Unfortunately, these symbols
are not translated back in error messages. Thus you may see confusing
error messages when local symbols are used. Control characters
&lsquo;<samp>\003</samp>&rsquo; (control-C) and &lsquo;<samp>\004</samp>&rsquo; (control-D) are used for the
MMIX-specific local-symbol syntax.
</p>
<p>The symbol &lsquo;<samp>Main</samp>&rsquo; is handled specially; it is always global.
</p>
<p>By defining the symbols &lsquo;<samp>__.MMIX.start..text</samp>&rsquo; and
&lsquo;<samp>__.MMIX.start..data</samp>&rsquo;, the address of respectively the &lsquo;<samp>.text</samp>&rsquo;
and &lsquo;<samp>.data</samp>&rsquo; segments of the final program can be defined, though when
linking more than one object file, the code or data in the object file
containing the symbol is not guaranteed to be start at that position; just
the final executable. See <a href="#MMIX_002dloc">MMIX-loc</a>.

</p>
<p>Local and global symbols can be equated to register names and used in
place of ordinary registers.
</p>
<p>Similarly for special registers, local and global symbols can be used.
Also, symbols equated from numbers and constant expressions are allowed in
place of a special register, except when either of the options
<code>--no-predefined-syms</code> and <code>--fixed-special-register-names</code> are
specified. Then only the special register names above are allowed for the

<code>0x2000000000000000</code> or larger, else it is set to <code>.text</code>.
Within a section, the current location may only be changed to

forward references, in the range 0&hellip;255. If you need operands having
expressions with forward references, use &lsquo;<samp>.byte</samp>&rsquo; (see <a href="#Byte">Byte</a>). An
operand can be omitted, defaulting to a zero value.

<h4 class="subsection">9.28.4 Differences to <code>mmixal</code></h4>
<a name="index-mmixal-differences"></a>
<a name="index-differences_002c-mmixal"></a>
<p>The binutils <code>as</code> and <code>ld</code> combination has a few
differences in function compared to <code>mmixal</code> (see <a href="#mmixsite">mmixsite</a>).
</p>
<p>The replacement of a symbol with a GREG-allocated register
(see <a href="#GREG_002dbase">GREG-base</a>) is not handled the exactly same way in
<code>as</code> as in <code>mmixal</code>. This is apparent in the
<code>mmixal</code> example file <code>inout.mms</code>, where different registers
with different offsets, eventually yielding the same address, are used in
the first instruction. This type of difference should however not affect
the function of any program unless it has specific assumptions about the
allocated register number.
</p>
<p>Line numbers (in the &lsquo;<samp>mmo</samp>&rsquo; object format) are currently not
supported.
</p>
<p>Expression operator precedence is not that of mmixal: operator precedence
is that of the C programming language. It&rsquo;s recommended to use
parentheses to explicitly specify wanted operator precedence whenever more
than one type of operators are used.
</p>
<p>The serialize unary operator <code>&amp;</code>, the fractional division operator
&lsquo;<samp>//</samp>&rsquo;, the logical not operator <code>!</code> and the modulus operator
&lsquo;<samp>%</samp>&rsquo; are not available.
</p>
<p>Symbols are not global by default, unless the option
&lsquo;<samp>--globalize-symbols</samp>&rsquo; is passed. Use the &lsquo;<samp>.global</samp>&rsquo; directive to
globalize symbols (see <a href="#Global">Global</a>).
</p>
<p>Operand syntax is a bit stricter with <code>as</code> than
<code>mmixal</code>. For example, you can&rsquo;t say <code>addu 1,2,3</code>, instead you
must write <code>addu $1,$2,3</code>.
</p>
<p>You can&rsquo;t LOC to a lower address than those already visited
(i.e., &ldquo;backwards&rdquo;).
</p>
<p>A LOC directive must come before any emitted code.
</p>
<p>Predefined symbols are visible as file-local symbols after use. (In the
ELF file, that is&mdash;the linked mmo file has no notion of a file-local
symbol.)
</p>
<p>Some mapping of constant expressions to sections in LOC expressions is
attempted, but that functionality is easily confused and should be avoided
unless compatibility with <code>mmixal</code> is required. A LOC expression to
&lsquo;<samp>0x2000000000000000</samp>&rsquo; or higher, maps to the &lsquo;<samp>.data</samp>&rsquo; section and
lower addresses map to the &lsquo;<samp>.text</samp>&rsquo; section (see <a href="#MMIX_002dloc">MMIX-loc</a>).
</p>
<p>The code and data areas are each contiguous. Sparse programs with
far-away LOC directives will take up the same amount of space as a
contiguous program with zeros filled in the gaps between the LOC
directives. If you need sparse programs, you might try and get the wanted
effect with a linker script and splitting up the code parts into sections
(see <a href="#Section">Section</a>). Assembly code for this, to be compatible with
<code>mmixal</code>, would look something like:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .if 0
LOC away_expression
.else
.section away,&quot;ax&quot;
.fi
</pre></div>
<p><code>as</code> will not execute the LOC directive and <code>mmixal</code>
ignores the lines with <code>.</code>. This construct can be used generally to
help compatibility.
</p>
<p>Symbols can&rsquo;t be defined twice&ndash;not even to the same value.
</p>
<p>Instruction mnemonics are recognized case-insensitive, though the
&lsquo;<samp>IS</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>GREG</samp>&rsquo; pseudo-operations must be specified in
upper-case characters.
</p>
<p>There&rsquo;s no unicode support.
</p>
<p>The following is a list of programs in &lsquo;<samp>mmix.tar.gz</samp>&rsquo;, available at
<a href="http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmix-news.html">http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmix-news.html</a>, last

<h4 class="subsubsection">9.33.1.2 Register Names</h4>
<a name="index-OpenRISC-registers"></a>
<a name="index-register-names_002c-OpenRISC"></a>
<p>The OpenRISC register file contains 32 general pupose registers.
</p>
<ul>
<li> The 32 general purpose registers are referred to as &lsquo;<samp>r<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The stack pointer register &lsquo;<samp>r1</samp>&rsquo; can be referenced using the alias
&lsquo;<samp>sp</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The frame pointer register &lsquo;<samp>r2</samp>&rsquo; can be referenced using the alias
&lsquo;<samp>fp</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The link register &lsquo;<samp>r9</samp>&rsquo; can be referenced using the alias &lsquo;<samp>lr</samp>&rsquo;.
</li></ul>
<p>Floating point operations use the same general purpose registers. The
instructions <code>lf.itof.s</code> (single precision) and <code>lf.itof.d</code> (double
precision) can be used to convert integer values to floating point.
Likewise, instructions <code>lf.ftoi.s</code> (single precision) and
<code>lf.ftoi.d</code> (double precision) can be used to convert floating point to
integer.
</p>
<p>OpenRISC also contains privileged special purpose registers (SPRs). The
SPRs are accessed using the <code>l.mfspr</code> and <code>l.mtspr</code> instructions.

<h4 class="subsubsection">9.33.1.3 Relocations</h4>
<a name="index-OpenRISC-relocations"></a>
<a name="index-relocations_002c-OpenRISC"></a>
<p>ELF relocations are available as defined in the OpenRISC architecture
specification.
</p>
<p><code>R_OR1K_HI_16_IN_INSN</code> is obtained using &lsquo;<samp>hi</samp>&rsquo; and
<code>R_OR1K_LO_16_IN_INSN</code> and <code>R_OR1K_SLO16</code> are obtained using
&lsquo;<samp>lo</samp>&rsquo;. For signed offsets <code>R_OR1K_AHI16</code> is obtained from
&lsquo;<samp>ha</samp>&rsquo;. For example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">l.movhi r5, hi(symbol)
l.ori r5, r5, lo(symbol)
l.movhi r5, ha(symbol)
l.addi r5, r5, lo(symbol)
</pre></div>
<p>These &ldquo;high&rdquo; mnemonics extract bits 31:16 of their operand,
and the &ldquo;low&rdquo; mnemonics extract bits 15:0 of their operand.
</p>
<p>The PC relative relocation <code>R_OR1K_GOTPC_HI16</code> can be obtained by
enclosing an operand inside of &lsquo;<samp>gotpchi</samp>&rsquo;. Likewise, the
<code>R_OR1K_GOTPC_LO16</code> relocation can be obtained using &lsquo;<samp>gotpclo</samp>&rsquo;.
These are mostly used when assembling PIC code. For example, the
standard PIC sequence on OpenRISC to get the base of the global offset
table, PC relative, into a register, can be performed as:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">l.jal 0x8
l.movhi r17, gotpchi(_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_-4)
l.ori r17, r17, gotpclo(_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+0)
l.add r17, r17, r9
</pre></div>
<p>Several relocations exist to allow the link editor to perform GOT data
references. The <code>R_OR1K_GOT16</code> relocation can obtained by enclosing an
operand inside of &lsquo;<samp>got</samp>&rsquo;. For example, assuming the GOT base is in
register <code>r17</code>.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">l.lwz r19, got(a)(r17)
l.lwz r21, 0(r19)
</pre></div>
<p>Also, several relocations exist for local GOT references. The
<code>R_OR1K_GOTOFF_AHI16</code> relocation can obtained by enclosing an operand
inside of &lsquo;<samp>gotoffha</samp>&rsquo;. Likewise, <code>R_OR1K_GOTOFF_LO16</code> and
<code>R_OR1K_GOTOFF_SLO16</code> can be obtained by enclosing an operand inside of
&lsquo;<samp>gotofflo</samp>&rsquo;. For example, assuming the GOT base is in register
<code>rl7</code>:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">l.movhi r19, gotoffha(symbol)
l.add r19, r19, r17
l.lwz r19, gotofflo(symbol)(r19)
</pre></div>
<p>The above PC relative relocations use a <code>l.jal</code> (jump) instruction
and reading of the link register to load the PC. OpenRISC also supports
page offset PC relative locations without a jump instruction using the
<code>l.adrp</code> instruction. By default the <code>l.adrp</code> instruction will
create an <code>R_OR1K_PCREL_PG21</code> relocation.
Likewise, <code>BFD_RELOC_OR1K_LO13</code> and <code>BFD_RELOC_OR1K_SLO13</code> can
be obtained by enclosing an operand inside of &lsquo;<samp>po</samp>&rsquo;. For example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">l.adrp r3, symbol
l.ori r4, r3, po(symbol)
l.lbz r5, po(symbol)(r3)
l.sb po(symbol)(r3), r6
</pre></div>
<p>Likewise the page offset relocations can be used with GOT references. The
relocation <code>R_OR1K_GOT_PG21</code> can be obtained by enclosing an
<code>l.adrp</code> immediate operand inside of &lsquo;<samp>got</samp>&rsquo;. Likewise,
<code>R_OR1K_GOT_LO13</code> can be obtained by enclosing an operand inside of
&lsquo;<samp>gotpo</samp>&rsquo;. For example to load the value of a GOT symbol into register
&lsquo;<samp>r5</samp>&rsquo; we can do:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">l.adrp r17, got(_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_)
l.lwz r5, gotpo(symbol)(r17)
</pre></div>
<p>There are many relocations that can be requested for access to
thread local storage variables. All of the OpenRISC TLS mnemonics
are supported:
</p>
<ul>
<li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_GD_HI16</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>tlsgdhi</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_GD_LO16</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>tlsgdlo</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_GD_PG21</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>tldgd</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_GD_LO13</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>tlsgdpo</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_LDM_HI16</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>tlsldmhi</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_LDM_LO16</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>tlsldmlo</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_LDM_PG21</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>tldldm</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_LDM_LO13</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>tlsldmpo</samp>&rsquo;.

</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_LDO_LO16</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>dtpofflo</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_IE_HI16</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>gottpoffhi</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_IE_AHI16</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>gottpoffha</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_IE_LO16</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>gottpofflo</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_IE_PG21</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>gottp</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_IE_LO13</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>gottppo</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_LE_HI16</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>tpoffhi</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_LE_AHI16</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>tpoffha</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_LE_LO16</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>tpofflo</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_OR1K_TLS_LE_SLO16</code> also is requested using &lsquo;<samp>tpofflo</samp>&rsquo;
depending on the instruction format.
</li></ul>

<p>The presence of a &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; on a line indicates the start of a comment
that extends to the end of the current line.
</p>
<p>If a &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; appears as the first character of a line then the whole
line is treated as a comment, but in this case the line could also be
a logical line number directive (see <a href="#Comments">Comments</a>) or a preprocessor
control command (see <a href="#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>).
</p>
<p>If the assembler has been configured for the ppc-*-solaris* target
then the &lsquo;<samp>!</samp>&rsquo; character also acts as a line comment character.
This can be disabled via the <samp>-mno-solaris</samp> command-line
option.

<a name="index-Option-directive"></a>
<a name="index-option-directive"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>.option <var>argument</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Modifies RISC-V specific assembler options inline with the assembly code.
This is used when particular instruction sequences must be assembled with a
specific set of options. For example, since we relax addressing sequences to
shorter GP-relative sequences when possible the initial load of GP must not be
relaxed and should be emitted as something like
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .option push
.option norelax
la gp, __global_pointer$
.option pop
</pre></div>
<p>in order to produce after linker relaxation the expected
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> auipc gp, %pcrel_hi(__global_pointer$)
addi gp, gp, %pcrel_lo(__global_pointer$)
</pre></div>
<p>instead of just
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> addi gp, gp, 0
</pre></div>
<p>It&rsquo;s not expected that options are changed in this manner during regular use,
but there are a handful of esoteric cases like the one above where users need
to disable particular features of the assembler for particular code sequences.
The complete list of option arguments is shown below:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>push</code></dt>
<dt><code>pop</code></dt>
<dd><p>Pushes or pops the current option stack. These should be used whenever
changing an option in line with assembly code in order to ensure the user&rsquo;s
command-line options are respected for the bulk of the file being assembled.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>rvc</code></dt>
<dt><code>norvc</code></dt>
<dd><p>Enables or disables the generation of compressed instructions. Instructions
are opportunistically compressed by the RISC-V assembler when possible, but
sometimes this behavior is not desirable, especially when handling alignments.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>pic</code></dt>
<dt><code>nopic</code></dt>
<dd><p>Enables or disables position-independent code generation. Unless you really
know what you&rsquo;re doing, this should only be at the top of a file.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>relax</code></dt>
<dt><code>norelax</code></dt>
<dd><p>Enables or disables relaxation. The RISC-V assembler and linker
opportunistically relax some code sequences, but sometimes this behavior is not
desirable.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>csr-check</code></dt>
<dt><code>no-csr-check</code></dt>
<dd><p>Enables or disables the CSR checking.

<dt><code>arch, <var>-extension</var> [,...,<var>-extension_n</var>]</code></dt>
<dt><code>arch, <var>=ISA</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Enables or disables the extensions for specific code region. For example,
&lsquo;<samp>.option arch, +m2p0</samp>&rsquo; means add m extension with version 2.0, and
&lsquo;<samp>.option arch, -f, -d</samp>&rsquo; means remove extensions, f and d, from the
architecture string. Note that, &lsquo;<samp>.option arch, +c, -c</samp>&rsquo; have the same
behavior as &lsquo;<samp>.option rvc, norvc</samp>&rsquo;. However, they are also undesirable
sometimes. Besides, &lsquo;<samp>.option arch, -i</samp>&rsquo; is illegal, since we cannot
remove the base i extension anytime. If you want to reset the whole ISA
string, you can also use &lsquo;<samp>.option arch, =rv32imac</samp>&rsquo; to overwrite the
previous settings.

<dt><code>.insn <var>value</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>This directive permits the numeric representation of an instructions
and makes the assembler insert the operands according to one of the
instruction formats for &lsquo;<samp>.insn</samp>&rsquo; (<a href="#RISC_002dV_002dFormats">RISC-V-Formats</a>).
For example, the instruction &lsquo;<samp>add a0, a1, a2</samp>&rsquo; could be written as
&lsquo;<samp>.insn r 0x33, 0, 0, a0, a1, a2</samp>&rsquo;. But in fact, the instruction
formats are difficult to use for some users, so most of them are using
&lsquo;<samp>.word</samp>&rsquo; to encode the instruction directly, rather than using
&lsquo;<samp>.insn</samp>&rsquo;. It is fine for now, but will be wrong when the mapping
symbols are supported, since &lsquo;<samp>.word</samp>&rsquo; will not be shown as an
instruction, it should be shown as data. Therefore, we also support
two more formats of the &lsquo;<samp>.insn</samp>&rsquo;, the instruction &lsquo;<samp>add a0, a1, a2</samp>&rsquo;
could also be written as &lsquo;<samp>.insn 0x4, 0xc58533</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>.insn 0xc58533</samp>&rsquo;.
When the <var>insn_length</var> is set, then assembler will check if the
<var>value</var> is a valid <var>insn_length</var> bytes instruction.

</p>
<a name="index-_002dmgcc_002dabi"></a>

<code>rxv3</code> and <code>rxv3-dfpu</code> are recognised as valid cpu names.
Attempting to assemble an instructionnot supported by the indicated
cpu type will result in an error message being generated.

</dd>
<dt><code>-mno-allow-string-insns</code></dt>
<dd><p>This option tells the assembler to mark the object file that it is
building as one that does not use the string instructions
<code>SMOVF</code>, <code>SCMPU</code>, <code>SMOVB</code>, <code>SMOVU</code>, <code>SUNTIL</code>
<code>SWHILE</code> or the <code>RMPA</code> instruction. In addition the mark
tells the linker to complain if an attempt is made to link the binary
with another one that does use any of these instructions.
</p>
<p>Note - the inverse of this option, <code>-mallow-string-insns</code>, is
not needed. The assembler automatically detects the use of the
the instructions in the source code and labels the resulting
object file appropriately. If no string instructions are detected
then the object file is labelled as being one that can be linked with
either string-using or string-banned object files.

<a name="index-RX-modifiers"></a>
<a name="index-syntax_002c-RX"></a>
<a name="index-_0025gp"></a>
<p>The assembler supports one modifier when using symbol addresses
in RX instruction operands. The general syntax is the following:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">%gp(symbol)
</pre></div>
<p>The modifier returns the offset from the <var>__gp</var> symbol to the
specified symbol as a 16-bit value. The intent is that this offset
should be used in a register+offset move instruction when generating
references to small data. Ie, like this:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> mov.W %gp(_foo)[%gpreg], r1
</pre></div>
<p>The assembler also supports two meta register names which can be used
to refer to registers whose values may not be known to the
programmer. These meta register names are:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dd>
<a name="index-_0025gpreg"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>%gpreg</code></dt>
<dd><p>The small data address register.
</p>
<a name="index-_0025pidreg"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>%pidreg</code></dt>
<dd><p>The PID base address register.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>Both registers normally have the value r13, but this can change if
some registers have been reserved for use by interrupt handlers or if
both the small data limit and position independent data features are
being used at the same time.

<p>There are many exceptions to the scheme outlined in the above lists, in
particular for the privileged instructions. For non-privileged
instruction it works quite well, for example the instruction &lsquo;<samp>clgfr</samp>&rsquo;
c: compare instruction, l: unsigned operands, g: 64-bit operands,
f: 32- to 64-bit extension, r: register operands. The instruction compares
an 64-bit value in a register with the zero extended 32-bit value from
a second register.

of Operation.

<p>Instruction operands can be grouped into three classes, operands located
in registers, immediate operands, and operands in storage.
</p>
<p>A register operand can be located in general, floating-point, access,
or control register. The register is identified by a four-bit field.
The field containing the register operand is called the R field.
</p>
<p>Immediate operands are contained within the instruction and can have
8, 16 or 32 bits. The field containing the immediate operand is called
the I field. Dependent on the instruction the I field is either signed
or unsigned.
</p>
<p>A storage operand consists of an address and a length. The address of a
storage operands can be specified in any of these ways:
</p>
<ul>
<li> The content of a single general R
</li><li> The sum of the content of a general register called the base
register B plus the content of a displacement field D
</li><li> The sum of the contents of two general registers called the
index register X and the base register B plus the content of a
displacement field
</li><li> The sum of the current instruction address and a 32-bit signed
immediate field multiplied by two.
</li></ul>
<p>The length of a storage operand can be:
</p>
<ul>
<li> Implied by the instruction
</li><li> Specified by a bitmask
</li><li> Specified by a four-bit or eight-bit length field L
</li><li> Specified by the content of a general register
</li></ul>
<p>The notation for storage operand addresses formed from multiple fields is
as follows:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>Dn(Bn)</code></dt>
<dd><p>the address for operand number n is formed from the content of general
register Bn called the base register and the displacement field Dn.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>Dn(Xn,Bn)</code></dt>
<dd><p>the address for operand number n is formed from the content of general
register Xn called the index register, general register Bn called the
base register and the displacement field Dn.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>Dn(Ln,Bn)</code></dt>
<dd><p>the address for operand number n is formed from the content of general
register Bn called the base register and the displacement field Dn.
The length of the operand n is specified by the field Ln.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>The base registers Bn and the index registers Xn of a storage operand can
be skipped. If Bn and Xn are skipped, a zero will be stored to the operand
field. The notation changes as follows:

<a name="index-instruction-formats_002c-s390"></a>
<a name="index-s390-instruction-formats"></a>
<p>The Principles of Operation manuals lists 35 instruction formats where
some of the formats have multiple variants. For the &lsquo;<samp>.insn</samp>&rsquo;
pseudo directive the assembler recognizes some of the formats.
Typically, the most general variant of the instruction format is used
by the &lsquo;<samp>.insn</samp>&rsquo; directive.
</p>
<p>The following table lists the abbreviations used in the table of
instruction formats:
</p>
<div class="display">
<table>
<tr><td><pre class="display">OpCode / OpCd</pre></td><td><pre class="display">Part of the op code.</pre></td></tr>
<tr><td><pre class="display">Bx</pre></td><td><pre class="display">Base register number for operand x.</pre></td></tr>

<tr><td><pre class="display">Ux</pre></td><td><pre class="display">Unsigned immediate for operand x.</pre></td></tr>

</div>
<p>An instruction is two, four, or six bytes in length and must be aligned
on a 2 byte boundary. The first two bits of the instruction specify the
length of the instruction, 00 indicates a two byte instruction, 01 and 10
indicates a four byte instruction, and 11 indicates a six byte instruction.

<p>The following table lists the s390 instruction formats that are available

<p>A specific bit pattern can have multiple mnemonics, for example
the bit pattern &lsquo;<samp>0xa7000000</samp>&rsquo; has the mnemonics &lsquo;<samp>tmh</samp>&rsquo; and
&lsquo;<samp>tmlh</samp>&rsquo;. In addition, there are a number of mnemonics recognized by
<code>as</code> that are not present in the Principles of Operation.
These are the short forms of the branch instructions, where the condition
code mask operand is encoded in the mnemonic. This is relevant for the
branch instructions, the compare and branch instructions, and the
compare and trap instructions.
</p>
<p>For the branch instructions there are 20 condition code strings that can
be used as part of the mnemonic in place of a mask operand in the instruction
format:

push</code> saves the currently selected cpu, which may be restored with
<code>.machine pop</code>. Be aware that the cpu string has to be put
into double quotes in case it contains characters not appropriate
for identifiers. So you have to write <code>&quot;z9-109&quot;</code> instead of
just <code>z9-109</code>. Extensions can be specified after the cpu
name, separated by plus characters. Valid extensions are:
<code>htm</code>,
<code>nohtm</code>,
<code>vx</code>,
<code>novx</code>.
They extend the basic instruction set with features from a higher
cpu level, or remove support for a feature from the given cpu
level.

<p>SH2E, SH3E and SH4 groups have on-chip floating-point unit (FPU). Other
SH groups can use <code>.float</code> directive to generate <small>IEEE</small>
floating-point numbers.
</p>
<p>SH2E and SH3E support single-precision floating point calculations as
well as entirely PCAPI compatible emulation of double-precision
floating point calculations. SH2E and SH3E instructions are a subset of
the floating point calculations conforming to the IEEE754 standard.
</p>
<p>In addition to single-precision and double-precision floating-point
operation capability, the on-chip FPU of SH4 has a 128-bit graphic
engine that enables 32-bit floating-point data to be processed 128
bits at a time. It also supports 4 * 4 array operations and inner
product operations. Also, a superscalar architecture is employed that
enables simultaneous execution of two instructions (including FPU
instructions), providing performance of up to twice that of
conventional architectures at the same frequency.

<p>The SPARC chip family includes several successive versions, using the same
core instruction set, but including a few additional instructions at
each version. There are exceptions to this however. For details on what
instructions each variant supports, please see the chip&rsquo;s architecture
reference manual.
</p>
<p>By default, <code>as</code> assumes the core instruction set (SPARC
v6), but &ldquo;bumps&rdquo; the architecture level as needed: it switches to
successively higher architectures as it encounters instructions that
only exist in the higher levels.
</p>
<p>If not configured for SPARC v9 (<code>sparc64-*-*</code>) GAS will not bump
past sparclite by default, an option must be passed to enable the
v9 instructions.
</p>
<p>GAS treats sparclite as being compatible with v8, unless an architecture
is explicitly requested. SPARC v9 is always incompatible with sparclite.

<h4 class="subsection">9.44.2 Enforcing aligned data</h4>
<a name="index-data-alignment-on-SPARC"></a>
<a name="index-SPARC-data-alignment"></a>
<p>SPARC GAS normally permits data to be misaligned. For example, it
permits the <code>.long</code> pseudo-op to be used on a byte boundary.
However, the native SunOS assemblers issue an error when they see
misaligned data.
</p>
<a name="index-_002d_002denforce_002daligned_002ddata"></a>
<p>You can use the <code>--enforce-aligned-data</code> option to make SPARC GAS
also issue an error about misaligned data, just as the SunOS
assemblers do.
</p>
<p>The <code>--enforce-aligned-data</code> option is not the default because gcc
issues misaligned data pseudo-ops when it initializes certain packed
data structures (structures defined using the <code>packed</code> attribute).
You may have to assemble with GAS in order to initialize packed data
structures in your own code.

<h4 class="subsubsection">9.44.3.2 Register Names</h4>
<a name="index-Sparc-registers"></a>
<a name="index-register-names_002c-Sparc"></a>
<p>The Sparc integer register file is broken down into global,
outgoing, local, and incoming.
</p>
<ul>
<li> The 8 global registers are referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%g<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The 8 outgoing registers are referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%o<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The 8 local registers are referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%l<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The 8 incoming registers are referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%i<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The frame pointer register &lsquo;<samp>%i6</samp>&rsquo; can be referenced using
the alias &lsquo;<samp>%fp</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The stack pointer register &lsquo;<samp>%o6</samp>&rsquo; can be referenced using
the alias &lsquo;<samp>%sp</samp>&rsquo;.
</li></ul>
<p>Floating point registers are simply referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%f<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo;.
When assembling for pre-V9, only 32 floating point registers
are available. For V9 and later there are 64, but there are
restrictions when referencing the upper 32 registers. They
can only be accessed as double or quad, and thus only even
or quad numbered accesses are allowed. For example, &lsquo;<samp>%f34</samp>&rsquo;
is a legal floating point register, but &lsquo;<samp>%f35</samp>&rsquo; is not.
</p>
<p>Floating point registers accessed as double can also be referred using
the &lsquo;<samp>%d<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo; notation, where <var>n</var> is even. Similarly,
floating point registers accessed as quad can be referred using the
&lsquo;<samp>%q<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo; notation, where <var>n</var> is a multiple of 4. For
example, &lsquo;<samp>%f4</samp>&rsquo; can be denoted as both &lsquo;<samp>%d4</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>%q4</samp>&rsquo;.
On the other hand, &lsquo;<samp>%f2</samp>&rsquo; can be denoted as &lsquo;<samp>%d2</samp>&rsquo; but not as
&lsquo;<samp>%q2</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>Certain V9 instructions allow access to ancillary state registers.
Most simply they can be referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%asr<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo; where
<var>n</var> can be from 16 to 31. However, there are some aliases
defined to reference ASR registers defined for various UltraSPARC
processors:
</p>
<ul>
<li> The tick compare register is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%tick_cmpr</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The system tick register is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%stick</samp>&rsquo;. An alias,
&lsquo;<samp>%sys_tick</samp>&rsquo;, exists but is deprecated and should not be used
by new software.
</li><li> The system tick compare register is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%stick_cmpr</samp>&rsquo;.
An alias, &lsquo;<samp>%sys_tick_cmpr</samp>&rsquo;, exists but is deprecated and should
not be used by new software.
</li><li> The software interrupt register is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%softint</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The set software interrupt register is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%set_softint</samp>&rsquo;.
The mnemonic &lsquo;<samp>%softint_set</samp>&rsquo; is provided as an alias.
</li><li> The clear software interrupt register is referred to as
&lsquo;<samp>%clear_softint</samp>&rsquo;. The mnemonic &lsquo;<samp>%softint_clear</samp>&rsquo; is provided
as an alias.
</li><li> The performance instrumentation counters register is referred to as
&lsquo;<samp>%pic</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The performance control register is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%pcr</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The graphics status register is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%gsr</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The V9 dispatch control register is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%dcr</samp>&rsquo;.
</li></ul>
<p>Various V9 branch and conditional move instructions allow
specification of which set of integer condition codes to
test. These are referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%xcc</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>%icc</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>Additionally, GAS supports the so-called &ldquo;natural&rdquo; condition codes;
these are referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%ncc</samp>&rsquo; and reference to &lsquo;<samp>%icc</samp>&rsquo; if
the word size is 32, &lsquo;<samp>%xcc</samp>&rsquo; if the word size is 64.
</p>
<p>In V9, there are 4 sets of floating point condition codes
which are referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%fcc<var>n</var></samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>Several special privileged and non-privileged registers
exist:
</p>
<ul>
<li> The V9 address space identifier register is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%asi</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The V9 restorable windows register is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%canrestore</samp>&rsquo;.

</li><li> The V9 processor interrupt level register is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%pil</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The V9 processor state register is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%pstate</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The trap base address register is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%tba</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The V9 tick register is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%tick</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The V9 trap level is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%tl</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The V9 trap program counter is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%tpc</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The V9 trap next program counter is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%tnpc</samp>&rsquo;.

<li> The hyperprivileged processor state register is referred to as
&lsquo;<samp>%hpstate</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> The hyperprivileged trap state register is referred to as &lsquo;<samp>%htstate</samp>&rsquo;.

<h4 class="subsubsection">9.44.3.3 Constants</h4>
<a name="index-Sparc-constants"></a>
<a name="index-constants_002c-Sparc"></a>
<p>Several Sparc instructions take an immediate operand field for
which mnemonic names exist. Two such examples are &lsquo;<samp>membar</samp>&rsquo;
and &lsquo;<samp>prefetch</samp>&rsquo;. Another example are the set of V9
memory access instruction that allow specification of an
address space identifier.
</p>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>membar</samp>&rsquo; instruction specifies a memory barrier that is
the defined by the operand which is a bitmask. The supported
mask mnemonics are:
</p>
<ul>
<li> &lsquo;<samp>#Sync</samp>&rsquo; requests that all operations (including nonmemory
reference operations) appearing prior to the <code>membar</code> must have
been performed and the effects of any exceptions become visible before
any instructions after the <code>membar</code> may be initiated. This
corresponds to <code>membar</code> cmask field bit 2.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>#MemIssue</samp>&rsquo; requests that all memory reference operations
appearing prior to the <code>membar</code> must have been performed before
any memory operation after the <code>membar</code> may be initiated. This
corresponds to <code>membar</code> cmask field bit 1.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>#Lookaside</samp>&rsquo; requests that a store appearing prior to the
<code>membar</code> must complete before any load following the
<code>membar</code> referencing the same address can be initiated. This
corresponds to <code>membar</code> cmask field bit 0.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>#StoreStore</samp>&rsquo; defines that the effects of all stores appearing
prior to the <code>membar</code> instruction must be visible to all
processors before the effect of any stores following the
<code>membar</code>. Equivalent to the deprecated <code>stbar</code> instruction.
This corresponds to <code>membar</code> mmask field bit 3.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>#LoadStore</samp>&rsquo; defines all loads appearing prior to the
<code>membar</code> instruction must have been performed before the effect
of any stores following the <code>membar</code> is visible to any other
processor. This corresponds to <code>membar</code> mmask field bit 2.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>#StoreLoad</samp>&rsquo; defines that the effects of all stores appearing
prior to the <code>membar</code> instruction must be visible to all
processors before loads following the <code>membar</code> may be performed.
This corresponds to <code>membar</code> mmask field bit 1.
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>#LoadLoad</samp>&rsquo; defines that all loads appearing prior to the
<code>membar</code> instruction must have been performed before any loads
following the <code>membar</code> may be performed. This corresponds to
<code>membar</code> mmask field bit 0.
</li></ul>
<p>These values can be ored together, for example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">membar #Sync
membar #StoreLoad | #LoadLoad
membar #StoreLoad | #StoreStore
</pre></div>
<p>The <code>prefetch</code> and <code>prefetcha</code> instructions take a prefetch
function code. The following prefetch function code constant
mnemonics are available:
</p>
<ul>
<li> &lsquo;<samp>#n_reads</samp>&rsquo; requests a prefetch for several reads, and corresponds
to a prefetch function code of 0.
<p>&lsquo;<samp>#one_read</samp>&rsquo; requests a prefetch for one read, and corresponds
to a prefetch function code of 1.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>#n_writes</samp>&rsquo; requests a prefetch for several writes (and possibly
reads), and corresponds to a prefetch function code of 2.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>#one_write</samp>&rsquo; requests a prefetch for one write, and corresponds
to a prefetch function code of 3.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>#page</samp>&rsquo; requests a prefetch page, and corresponds to a prefetch
function code of 4.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>#invalidate</samp>&rsquo; requests a prefetch invalidate, and corresponds to
a prefetch function code of 16.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>#unified</samp>&rsquo; requests a prefetch to the nearest unified cache, and
corresponds to a prefetch function code of 17.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>#n_reads_strong</samp>&rsquo; requests a strong prefetch for several reads,
and corresponds to a prefetch function code of 20.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>#one_read_strong</samp>&rsquo; requests a strong prefetch for one read,
and corresponds to a prefetch function code of 21.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>#n_writes_strong</samp>&rsquo; requests a strong prefetch for several writes,
and corresponds to a prefetch function code of 22.
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>#one_write_strong</samp>&rsquo; requests a strong prefetch for one write,
and corresponds to a prefetch function code of 23.
</p>
<p>Onle one prefetch code may be specified. Here are some examples:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">prefetch [%l0 + %l2], #one_read
prefetch [%g2 + 8], #n_writes
prefetcha [%g1] 0x8, #unified
prefetcha [%o0 + 0x10] %asi, #n_reads
</pre></div>
<p>The actual behavior of a given prefetch function code is processor
specific. If a processor does not implement a given prefetch
function code, it will treat the prefetch instruction as a nop.
</p>
<p>For instructions that accept an immediate address space identifier,
<code>as</code> provides many mnemonics corresponding to
V9 defined as well as UltraSPARC and Niagara extended values.
For example, &lsquo;<samp>#ASI_P</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>#ASI_BLK_INIT_QUAD_LDD_AIUS</samp>&rsquo;.
See the V9 and processor specific manuals for details.

<h4 class="subsubsection">9.44.3.4 Relocations</h4>
<a name="index-Sparc-relocations"></a>
<a name="index-relocations_002c-Sparc"></a>
<p>ELF relocations are available as defined in the 32-bit and 64-bit
Sparc ELF specifications.
</p>
<p><code>R_SPARC_HI22</code> is obtained using &lsquo;<samp>%hi</samp>&rsquo; and <code>R_SPARC_LO10</code>
is obtained using &lsquo;<samp>%lo</samp>&rsquo;. Likewise <code>R_SPARC_HIX22</code> is
obtained from &lsquo;<samp>%hix</samp>&rsquo; and <code>R_SPARC_LOX10</code> is obtained
using &lsquo;<samp>%lox</samp>&rsquo;. For example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">sethi %hi(symbol), %g1
or %g1, %lo(symbol), %g1
sethi %hix(symbol), %g1
xor %g1, %lox(symbol), %g1
</pre></div>
<p>These &ldquo;high&rdquo; mnemonics extract bits 31:10 of their operand,
and the &ldquo;low&rdquo; mnemonics extract bits 9:0 of their operand.
</p>
<p>V9 code model relocations can be requested as follows:
</p>
<ul>
<li> <code>R_SPARC_HH22</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%hh</samp>&rsquo;. It can
also be generated using &lsquo;<samp>%uhi</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_HM10</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%hm</samp>&rsquo;. It can
also be generated using &lsquo;<samp>%ulo</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_LM22</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%lm</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_H44</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%h44</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_M44</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%m44</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_L44</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%l44</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>%l34</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_H34</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%h34</samp>&rsquo;.
</li></ul>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>%l34</samp>&rsquo; generates a <code>R_SPARC_L44</code> relocation because it
calculates the necessary value, and therefore no explicit
<code>R_SPARC_L34</code> relocation needed to be created for this purpose.
</p>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>%h34</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>%l34</samp>&rsquo; relocations are used for the abs34 code
model. Here is an example abs34 address generation sequence:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">sethi %h34(symbol), %g1
sllx %g1, 2, %g1
or %g1, %l34(symbol), %g1
</pre></div>
<p>The PC relative relocation <code>R_SPARC_PC22</code> can be obtained by
enclosing an operand inside of &lsquo;<samp>%pc22</samp>&rsquo;. Likewise, the
<code>R_SPARC_PC10</code> relocation can be obtained using &lsquo;<samp>%pc10</samp>&rsquo;.
These are mostly used when assembling PIC code. For example, the
standard PIC sequence on Sparc to get the base of the global offset
table, PC relative, into a register, can be performed as:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">sethi %pc22(_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_-4), %l7
add %l7, %pc10(_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+4), %l7
</pre></div>
<p>Several relocations exist to allow the link editor to potentially
optimize GOT data references. The <code>R_SPARC_GOTDATA_OP_HIX22</code>
relocation can obtained by enclosing an operand inside of
&lsquo;<samp>%gdop_hix22</samp>&rsquo;. The <code>R_SPARC_GOTDATA_OP_LOX10</code>
relocation can obtained by enclosing an operand inside of
&lsquo;<samp>%gdop_lox10</samp>&rsquo;. Likewise, <code>R_SPARC_GOTDATA_OP</code> can be
obtained by enclosing an operand inside of &lsquo;<samp>%gdop</samp>&rsquo;.
For example, assuming the GOT base is in register <code>%l7</code>:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">sethi %gdop_hix22(symbol), %l1
xor %l1, %gdop_lox10(symbol), %l1
ld [%l7 + %l1], %l2, %gdop(symbol)
</pre></div>
<p>There are many relocations that can be requested for access to
thread local storage variables. All of the Sparc TLS mnemonics
are supported:
</p>
<ul>
<li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_GD_HI22</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tgd_hi22</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_GD_LO10</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tgd_lo10</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_GD_ADD</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tgd_add</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_GD_CALL</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tgd_call</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_LDM_HI22</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tldm_hi22</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_LDM_LO10</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tldm_lo10</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_LDM_ADD</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tldm_add</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_LDM_CALL</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tldm_call</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_LDO_HIX22</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tldo_hix22</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_LDO_LOX10</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tldo_lox10</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_LDO_ADD</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tldo_add</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_IE_HI22</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tie_hi22</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_IE_LO10</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tie_lo10</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_IE_LD</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tie_ld</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_IE_LDX</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tie_ldx</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_IE_ADD</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tie_add</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_LE_HIX22</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tle_hix22</samp>&rsquo;.
</li><li> <code>R_SPARC_TLS_LE_LOX10</code> is requested using &lsquo;<samp>%tle_lox10</samp>&rsquo;.
</li></ul>
<p>Here are some example TLS model sequences.
</p>
<p>First, General Dynamic:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">sethi %tgd_hi22(symbol), %l1
add %l1, %tgd_lo10(symbol), %l1
add %l7, %l1, %o0, %tgd_add(symbol)
call __tls_get_addr, %tgd_call(symbol)
nop
</pre></div>
<p>Local Dynamic:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">sethi %tldm_hi22(symbol), %l1
add %l1, %tldm_lo10(symbol), %l1
add %l7, %l1, %o0, %tldm_add(symbol)
call __tls_get_addr, %tldm_call(symbol)
nop
sethi %tldo_hix22(symbol), %l1
xor %l1, %tldo_lox10(symbol), %l1
add %o0, %l1, %l1, %tldo_add(symbol)
</pre></div>
<p>Initial Exec:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">sethi %tie_hi22(symbol), %l1
add %l1, %tie_lo10(symbol), %l1
ld [%l7 + %l1], %o0, %tie_ld(symbol)
add %g7, %o0, %o0, %tie_add(symbol)
sethi %tie_hi22(symbol), %l1
add %l1, %tie_lo10(symbol), %l1
ldx [%l7 + %l1], %o0, %tie_ldx(symbol)
add %g7, %o0, %o0, %tie_add(symbol)
</pre></div>
<p>And finally, Local Exec:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">sethi %tle_hix22(symbol), %l1
add %l1, %tle_lox10(symbol), %l1
add %g7, %l1, %l1
</pre></div>
<p>When assembling for 64-bit, and a secondary constant addend is
specified in an address expression that would normally generate
an <code>R_SPARC_LO10</code> relocation, the assembler will emit an
<code>R_SPARC_OLO10</code> instead.

<h4 class="subsubsection">9.44.3.5 Size Translations</h4>
<a name="index-Sparc-size-translations"></a>
<a name="index-size_002c-translations_002c-Sparc"></a>
<p>Often it is desirable to write code in an operand size agnostic
manner. <code>as</code> provides support for this via
operand size opcode translations. Translations are supported
for loads, stores, shifts, compare-and-swap atomics, and the
&lsquo;<samp>clr</samp>&rsquo; synthetic instruction.
</p>
<p>If generating 32-bit code, <code>as</code> will generate the
32-bit opcode. Whereas if 64-bit code is being generated,
the 64-bit opcode will be emitted. For example <code>ldn</code>
will be transformed into <code>ld</code> for 32-bit code and
<code>ldx</code> for 64-bit code.
</p>
<p>Here is an example meant to demonstrate all the supported
opcode translations:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">ldn [%o0], %o1
ldna [%o0] %asi, %o2
stn %o1, [%o0]
stna %o2, [%o0] %asi
slln %o3, 3, %o3
srln %o4, 8, %o4
sran %o5, 12, %o5
casn [%o0], %o1, %o2
casna [%o0] %asi, %o1, %o2
clrn %g1
</pre></div>
<p>In 32-bit mode <code>as</code> will emit:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">ld [%o0], %o1
lda [%o0] %asi, %o2
st %o1, [%o0]
sta %o2, [%o0] %asi
sll %o3, 3, %o3
srl %o4, 8, %o4
sra %o5, 12, %o5
cas [%o0], %o1, %o2
casa [%o0] %asi, %o1, %o2
clr %g1
</pre></div>
<p>And in 64-bit mode <code>as</code> will emit:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">ldx [%o0], %o1
ldxa [%o0] %asi, %o2
stx %o1, [%o0]
stxa %o2, [%o0] %asi
sllx %o3, 3, %o3
srlx %o4, 8, %o4
srax %o5, 12, %o5
casx [%o0], %o1, %o2
casxa [%o0] %asi, %o1, %o2
clrx %g1
</pre></div>
<p>Finally, the &lsquo;<samp>.nword</samp>&rsquo; translating directive is supported
as well. It is documented in the section on Sparc machine
directives.

<a name="index-_002dmf-option_002c-far_002dmode"></a>
<p>You can use the &lsquo;<samp>-mfar-mode</samp>&rsquo; option to enable extended addressing mode.
All addresses will be assumed to be &gt; 16 bits, and the appropriate
relocation types will be used. This option is equivalent to using the
&lsquo;<samp>.far_mode</samp>&rsquo; directive in the assembly code. If you do not use the
&lsquo;<samp>-mfar-mode</samp>&rsquo; option, all references will be assumed to be 16 bits.
This option may be abbreviated to &lsquo;<samp>-mf</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<a name="index-_002dmcpu-option_002c-cpu"></a>
<p>You can use the &lsquo;<samp>-mcpu</samp>&rsquo; option to specify a particular CPU.
This option is equivalent to using the &lsquo;<samp>.version</samp>&rsquo; directive in the

</div>
<a name="String-Substitution"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">9.45.5 String Substitution</h4>
<p>A subset of allowable symbols (which we&rsquo;ll call subsyms) may be assigned
arbitrary string values. This is roughly equivalent to C preprocessor
#define macros. When <code>as</code> encounters one of these
symbols, the symbol is replaced in the input stream by its string value.
Subsym names <strong>must</strong> begin with a letter.
</p>
<p>Subsyms may be defined using the <code>.asg</code> and <code>.eval</code> directives
(See <a href="#TIC54X_002dDirectives"><code>.asg</code></a>,
See <a href="#TIC54X_002dDirectives"><code>.eval</code></a>.
</p>
<p>Expansion is recursive until a previously encountered symbol is seen, at
which point substitution stops.
</p>
<p>In this example, x is replaced with SYM2; SYM2 is replaced with SYM1, and SYM1
is replaced with x. At this point, x has already been encountered
and the substitution stops.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .asg &quot;x&quot;,SYM1
.asg &quot;SYM1&quot;,SYM2
.asg &quot;SYM2&quot;,x
add x,a ; final code assembled is &quot;add x, a&quot;
</pre></div>
<p>Macro parameters are converted to subsyms; a side effect of this is the normal
<code>as</code> &rsquo;\ARG&rsquo; dereferencing syntax is unnecessary. Subsyms
defined within a macro will have global scope, unless the <code>.var</code>
directive is used to identify the subsym as a local macro variable
see <a href="#TIC54X_002dDirectives"><code>.var</code></a>.
</p>
<p>Substitution may be forced in situations where replacement might be
ambiguous by placing colons on either side of the subsym. The following
code:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .eval &quot;10&quot;,x
LAB:X: add #x, a
</pre></div>
<p>When assembled becomes:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">LAB10 add #10, a
</pre></div>
<p>Smaller parts of the string assigned to a subsym may be accessed with
the following syntax:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code><code>:<var>symbol</var>(<var>char_index</var>):</code></code></dt>
<dd><p>Evaluates to a single-character string, the character at <var>char_index</var>.
</p></dd>
<dt><code><code>:<var>symbol</var>(<var>start</var>,<var>length</var>):</code></code></dt>
<dd><p>Evaluates to a substring of <var>symbol</var> beginning at <var>start</var> with
length <var>length</var>.

</li><li> LABEL?, where LABEL is any legal symbol name.

<p>Macros do not require explicit dereferencing of arguments (i.e., \ARG).
</p>
<p>During macro expansion, the macro parameters are converted to subsyms.
If the number of arguments passed the macro invocation exceeds the
number of parameters defined, the last parameter is assigned the string
equivalent of all remaining arguments. If fewer arguments are given
than parameters, the missing parameters are assigned empty strings. To
include a comma in an argument, you must enclose the argument in quotes.

<p>Block comments are delimited by &lsquo;<samp>/*</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>*/</samp>&rsquo;. End of line
comments may be introduced by &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>Instructions consist of a leading opcode or macro name followed by
whitespace and an optional comma-separated list of operands:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"><var>opcode</var> [<var>operand</var>, &hellip;]
</pre></div>
<p>Instructions must be separated by a newline or semicolon.
</p>
<p>There are two ways to write code: either write naked instructions,
which the assembler is free to combine into VLIW bundles, or specify
the VLIW bundles explicitly.
</p>
<p>Bundles are specified using curly braces:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">{ <var>add</var> r3,r4,r5 ; <var>add</var> r7,r8,r9 ; <var>lw</var> r10,r11 }
</pre></div>
<p>A bundle can span multiple lines. If you want to put multiple
instructions on a line, whether in a bundle or not, you need to
separate them with semicolons as in this example.
</p>
<p>A bundle may contain one or more instructions, up to the limit
specified by the ISA (currently three). If fewer instructions are
specified than the hardware supports in a bundle, the assembler
inserts <code>fnop</code> instructions automatically.
</p>
<p>The assembler will prefer to preserve the ordering of instructions
within the bundle, putting the first instruction in a lower-numbered
pipeline than the next one, etc. This fact, combined with the
optional use of explicit <code>fnop</code> or <code>nop</code> instructions,
allows precise control over which pipeline executes each instruction.
</p>
<p>If the instructions cannot be bundled in the listed order, the
assembler will automatically try to find a valid pipeline
assignment. If there is no way to bundle the instructions together,
the assembler reports an error.
</p>
<p>The assembler does not yet auto-bundle (automatically combine multiple
instructions into one bundle), but it reserves the right to do so in
the future. If you want to force an instruction to run by itself, put
it in a bundle explicitly with curly braces and use <code>nop</code>
instructions (not <code>fnop</code>) to fill the remaining pipeline slots in
that bundle.

<p>The assembler supports several modifiers when using symbol addresses
in TILE-Gx instruction operands. The general syntax is the following:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">modifier(symbol)
</pre></div>
<p>The following modifiers are supported:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>hw0</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier is used to load bits 0-15 of the symbol&rsquo;s address.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw1</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier is used to load bits 16-31 of the symbol&rsquo;s address.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw2</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier is used to load bits 32-47 of the symbol&rsquo;s address.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw3</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier is used to load bits 48-63 of the symbol&rsquo;s address.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw0_last</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier yields the same value as <code>hw0</code>, but it also checks
that the value does not overflow.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw1_last</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier yields the same value as <code>hw1</code>, but it also checks
that the value does not overflow.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw2_last</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier yields the same value as <code>hw2</code>, but it also checks
that the value does not overflow.
</p>
<p>A 48-bit symbolic value is constructed by using the following idiom:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">moveli r0, hw2_last(sym)
shl16insli r0, r0, hw1(sym)
shl16insli r0, r0, hw0(sym)
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw0_got</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier is used to load bits 0-15 of the symbol&rsquo;s offset in the
GOT entry corresponding to the symbol.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw0_last_got</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier yields the same value as <code>hw0_got</code>, but it also
checks that the value does not overflow.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw1_last_got</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier is used to load bits 16-31 of the symbol&rsquo;s offset in the
GOT entry corresponding to the symbol, and it also checks that the
value does not overflow.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>plt</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier is used for function symbols. It causes a
<em>procedure linkage table</em>, an array of code stubs, to be created
at the time the shared object is created or linked against, together
with a global offset table entry. The value is a pc-relative offset
to the corresponding stub code in the procedure linkage table. This
arrangement causes the run-time symbol resolver to be called to look
up and set the value of the symbol the first time the function is
called (at latest; depending environment variables). It is only safe
to leave the symbol unresolved this way if all references are function
calls.
</p>
</dd>

a plt entry.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw1_last_plt</code></dt>

<p>This modifier is used to load bits 32-47 of the pc-relative address of
a plt entry, and it also checks that the value does not overflow.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw0_tls_gd</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier is used to load bits 0-15 of the offset of the GOT entry
of the symbol&rsquo;s TLS descriptor, to be used for general-dynamic TLS
accesses.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw0_last_tls_gd</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier yields the same value as <code>hw0_tls_gd</code>, but it also
checks that the value does not overflow.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw1_last_tls_gd</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier is used to load bits 16-31 of the offset of the GOT
entry of the symbol&rsquo;s TLS descriptor, to be used for general-dynamic
TLS accesses. It also checks that the value does not overflow.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw0_tls_ie</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier is used to load bits 0-15 of the offset of the GOT entry
containing the offset of the symbol&rsquo;s address from the TCB, to be used
for initial-exec TLS accesses.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw0_last_tls_ie</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier yields the same value as <code>hw0_tls_ie</code>, but it also
checks that the value does not overflow.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw1_last_tls_ie</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier is used to load bits 16-31 of the offset of the GOT
entry containing the offset of the symbol&rsquo;s address from the TCB, to
be used for initial-exec TLS accesses. It also checks that the value
does not overflow.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw0_tls_le</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier is used to load bits 0-15 of the offset of the symbol&rsquo;s
address from the TCB, to be used for local-exec TLS accesses.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw0_last_tls_le</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier yields the same value as <code>hw0_tls_le</code>, but it also
checks that the value does not overflow.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>hw1_last_tls_le</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier is used to load bits 16-31 of the offset of the symbol&rsquo;s
address from the TCB, to be used for local-exec TLS accesses. It
also checks that the value does not overflow.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>tls_gd_call</code></dt>

<p>Block comments are delimited by &lsquo;<samp>/*</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>*/</samp>&rsquo;. End of line
comments may be introduced by &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>Instructions consist of a leading opcode or macro name followed by
whitespace and an optional comma-separated list of operands:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"><var>opcode</var> [<var>operand</var>, &hellip;]
</pre></div>
<p>Instructions must be separated by a newline or semicolon.
</p>
<p>There are two ways to write code: either write naked instructions,
which the assembler is free to combine into VLIW bundles, or specify
the VLIW bundles explicitly.
</p>
<p>Bundles are specified using curly braces:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">{ <var>add</var> r3,r4,r5 ; <var>add</var> r7,r8,r9 ; <var>lw</var> r10,r11 }
</pre></div>
<p>A bundle can span multiple lines. If you want to put multiple
instructions on a line, whether in a bundle or not, you need to
separate them with semicolons as in this example.
</p>
<p>A bundle may contain one or more instructions, up to the limit
specified by the ISA (currently three). If fewer instructions are
specified than the hardware supports in a bundle, the assembler
inserts <code>fnop</code> instructions automatically.
</p>
<p>The assembler will prefer to preserve the ordering of instructions
within the bundle, putting the first instruction in a lower-numbered
pipeline than the next one, etc. This fact, combined with the
optional use of explicit <code>fnop</code> or <code>nop</code> instructions,
allows precise control over which pipeline executes each instruction.
</p>
<p>If the instructions cannot be bundled in the listed order, the
assembler will automatically try to find a valid pipeline
assignment. If there is no way to bundle the instructions together,
the assembler reports an error.
</p>
<p>The assembler does not yet auto-bundle (automatically combine multiple
instructions into one bundle), but it reserves the right to do so in
the future. If you want to force an instruction to run by itself, put
it in a bundle explicitly with curly braces and use <code>nop</code>
instructions (not <code>fnop</code>) to fill the remaining pipeline slots in
that bundle.

<p><code>as</code> implements all the standard V850 opcodes.
</p>
<p><code>as</code> also implements the following pseudo ops:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dd>
<a name="index-hi0-pseudo_002dop_002c-V850"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>hi0()</code></dt>
<dd><p>Computes the higher 16 bits of the given expression and stores it into
the immediate operand field of the given instruction. For example:
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>mulhi hi0(here - there), r5, r6</samp>&rsquo;
</p>
<p>computes the difference between the address of labels &rsquo;here&rsquo; and
&rsquo;there&rsquo;, takes the upper 16 bits of this difference, shifts it down 16
bits and then multiplies it by the lower 16 bits in register 5, putting
the result into register 6.
</p>
<a name="index-lo-pseudo_002dop_002c-V850"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>lo()</code></dt>
<dd><p>Computes the lower 16 bits of the given expression and stores it into
the immediate operand field of the given instruction. For example:
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>addi lo(here - there), r5, r6</samp>&rsquo;
</p>
<p>computes the difference between the address of labels &rsquo;here&rsquo; and
&rsquo;there&rsquo;, takes the lower 16 bits of this difference and adds it to
register 5, putting the result into register 6.
</p>
<a name="index-hi-pseudo_002dop_002c-V850"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>hi()</code></dt>
<dd><p>Computes the higher 16 bits of the given expression and then adds the
value of the most significant bit of the lower 16 bits of the expression
and stores the result into the immediate operand field of the given
instruction. For example the following code can be used to compute the
address of the label &rsquo;here&rsquo; and store it into register 6:
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>movhi hi(here), r0, r6</samp>&rsquo;
&lsquo;<samp>movea lo(here), r6, r6</samp>&rsquo;
</p>
<p>The reason for this special behaviour is that movea performs a sign
extension on its immediate operand. So for example if the address of
&rsquo;here&rsquo; was 0xFFFFFFFF then without the special behaviour of the hi()
pseudo-op the movhi instruction would put 0xFFFF0000 into r6, then the
movea instruction would takes its immediate operand, 0xFFFF, sign extend
it to 32 bits, 0xFFFFFFFF, and then add it into r6 giving 0xFFFEFFFF
which is wrong (the fifth nibble is E). With the hi() pseudo op adding
in the top bit of the lo() pseudo op, the movhi instruction actually
stores 0 into r6 (0xFFFF + 1 = 0x0000), so that the movea instruction
stores 0xFFFFFFFF into r6 - the right value.

</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-h <var>n</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>External symbol or section (used for global variables) names are not
case sensitive on VAX/VMS and always mapped to upper case. This is
contrary to the C language definition which explicitly distinguishes
upper and lower case. To implement a standard conforming C compiler,
names must be changed (mapped) to preserve the case information. The
default mapping is to convert all lower case characters to uppercase and
adding an underscore followed by a 6 digit hex value, representing a 24
digit binary value. The one digits in the binary value represent which
characters are uppercase in the original symbol name.
</p>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>-h <var>n</var></samp>&rsquo; option determines how we map names. This takes
several values. No &lsquo;<samp>-h</samp>&rsquo; switch at all allows case hacking as
described above. A value of zero (&lsquo;<samp>-h0</samp>&rsquo;) implies names should be
upper case, and inhibits the case hack. A value of 2 (&lsquo;<samp>-h2</samp>&rsquo;)
implies names should be all lower case, with no case hack. A value of 3
(&lsquo;<samp>-h3</samp>&rsquo;) implies that case should be preserved. The value 1 is
unused. The <code>-H</code> option directs <code>as</code> to display
every mapped symbol during assembly.
</p>
<p>Symbols whose names include a dollar sign &lsquo;<samp>$</samp>&rsquo; are exceptions to the
general name mapping. These symbols are normally only used to reference
VMS library names. Such symbols are always mapped to upper case.

WebAssembly module. It is possible to make <code>as</code> produce
output in a single ELF section which becomes a valid WebAssembly
module, but a linker script to do so may be preferable, as it doesn&rsquo;t
require running the entire module through the assembler at once.

<p>Block comments are delimited by &lsquo;<samp>/*</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>*/</samp>&rsquo;. End of line
comments may be introduced with either &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>//</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>If a &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; appears as the first character of a line then the whole
line is treated as a comment, but in this case the line could also be
a logical line number directive (see <a href="#Comments">Comments</a>) or a preprocessor
control command (see <a href="#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>).
</p>
<p>Instructions consist of a leading opcode or macro name followed by
whitespace and an optional comma-separated list of operands:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"><var>opcode</var> [<var>operand</var>, &hellip;]
</pre></div>
<p>Instructions must be separated by a newline or semicolon (&lsquo;<samp>;</samp>&rsquo;).
</p>
<p>FLIX instructions, which bundle multiple opcodes together in a single
instruction, are specified by enclosing the bundled opcodes inside
braces:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">{
[<var>format</var>]
<var>opcode0</var> [<var>operands</var>]
</pre><pre class="smallexample"><var>opcode1</var> [<var>operands</var>]
</pre><pre class="smallexample"><var>opcode2</var> [<var>operands</var>]
&hellip;
}
</pre></div>
<p>The opcodes in a FLIX instruction are listed in the same order as the
corresponding instruction slots in the TIE format declaration.
Directives and labels are not allowed inside the braces of a FLIX
instruction. A particular TIE format name can optionally be specified
immediately after the opening brace, but this is usually unnecessary.
The assembler will automatically search for a format that can encode the
specified opcodes, so the format name need only be specified in rare
cases where there is more than one applicable format and where it
matters which of those formats is used. A FLIX instruction can also be
specified on a single line by separating the opcodes with semicolons:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">{ [<var>format</var>;] <var>opcode0</var> [<var>operands</var>]; <var>opcode1</var> [<var>operands</var>]; <var>opcode2</var> [<var>operands</var>]; &hellip; }
</pre></div>
<p>If an opcode can only be encoded in a FLIX instruction but is not
specified as part of a FLIX bundle, the assembler will choose the
smallest format where the opcode can be encoded and
will fill unused instruction slots with no-ops.

</p>
<a name="index-_005f-opcode-prefix"></a>
<p>If an opcode name is prefixed with an underscore character (&lsquo;<samp>_</samp>&rsquo;),
<code>as</code> will not transform that instruction in any way. The
underscore prefix disables both optimization (see <a href="#Xtensa-Optimizations">Xtensa Optimizations</a>) and relaxation (see <a href="#Xtensa-Relaxation">Xtensa Relaxation</a>) for that particular instruction. Only
use the underscore prefix when it is essential to select the exact
opcode produced by the assembler. Using this feature unnecessarily
makes the code less efficient by disabling assembler optimization and
less flexible by disabling relaxation.
</p>
<p>Note that this special handling of underscore prefixes only applies to
Xtensa opcodes, not to either built-in macros or user-defined macros.
When an underscore prefix is used with a macro (e.g., <code>_MOV</code>), it
refers to a different macro. The assembler generally provides built-in
macros both with and without the underscore prefix, where the underscore
versions behave as if the underscore carries through to the instructions
in the macros. For example, <code>_MOV</code> may expand to <code>_MOV.N</code>.
</p>
<p>The underscore prefix only applies to individual instructions, not to
series of instructions. For example, if a series of instructions have
underscore prefixes, the assembler will not transform the individual
instructions, but it may insert other instructions between them (e.g.,
to align a <code>LOOP</code> instruction). To prevent the assembler from
modifying a series of instructions as a whole, use the
<code>no-transform</code> directive. See <a href="#Transform-Directive">transform</a>.

<a name="index-density-instructions"></a>
<p>The Xtensa instruction set has a code density option that provides
16-bit versions of some of the most commonly used opcodes. Use of these
opcodes can significantly reduce code size. When possible, the
assembler automatically translates instructions from the core
Xtensa instruction set into equivalent instructions from the Xtensa code
density option. This translation can be disabled by using underscore
prefixes (see <a href="#Xtensa-Opcodes">Opcode Names</a>), by using the
&lsquo;<samp>--no-transform</samp>&rsquo; command-line option (see <a href="#Xtensa-Options">Command
Line Options</a>), or by using the <code>no-transform</code> directive
(see <a href="#Transform-Directive">transform</a>).
</p>
<p>It is a good idea <em>not</em> to use the density instructions directly.
The assembler will automatically select dense instructions where
possible. If you later need to use an Xtensa processor without the code
density option, the same assembly code will then work without modification.

<a name="index-LOOP-instructions_002c-alignment"></a>
<a name="index-branch-target-alignment"></a>
<p>The Xtensa assembler will automatically align certain instructions, both
to optimize performance and to satisfy architectural requirements.
</p>
<p>As an optimization to improve performance, the assembler attempts to
align branch targets so they do not cross instruction fetch boundaries.
(Xtensa processors can be configured with either 32-bit or 64-bit
instruction fetch widths.) An
instruction immediately following a call is treated as a branch target
in this context, because it will be the target of a return from the
call. This alignment has the potential to reduce branch penalties at
some expense in code size.
This optimization is enabled by default. You can disable it with the
&lsquo;<samp>--no-target-align</samp>&rsquo; command-line option (see <a href="#Xtensa-Options">Command-line Options</a>).
</p>
<p>The target alignment optimization is done without adding instructions
that could increase the execution time of the program. If there are
density instructions in the code preceding a target, the assembler can
change the target alignment by widening some of those instructions to
the equivalent 24-bit instructions. Extra bytes of padding can be
inserted immediately following unconditional jump and return
instructions.
This approach is usually successful in aligning many, but not all,
branch targets.
</p>
<p>The <code>LOOP</code> family of instructions must be aligned such that the
first instruction in the loop body does not cross an instruction fetch
boundary (e.g., with a 32-bit fetch width, a <code>LOOP</code> instruction
must be on either a 1 or 2 mod 4 byte boundary). The assembler knows
about this restriction and inserts the minimal number of 2 or 3 byte
no-op instructions to satisfy it. When no-op instructions are added,
any label immediately preceding the original loop will be moved in order
to refer to the loop instruction, not the newly generated no-op
instruction. To preserve binary compatibility across processors with
different fetch widths, the assembler conservatively assumes a 32-bit
fetch width when aligning <code>LOOP</code> instructions (except if the first
instruction in the loop is a 64-bit instruction).
</p>
<p>Previous versions of the assembler automatically aligned <code>ENTRY</code>
instructions to 4-byte boundaries, but that alignment is now the
programmer&rsquo;s responsibility.

offers branch relaxation and also extends this concept to function
calls, <code>MOVI</code> instructions and other instructions with immediate
fields.

<a name="index-relaxation-of-branch-instructions"></a>
<a name="index-branch-instructions_002c-relaxation"></a>
<p>When the target of a branch is too far away from the branch itself,
i.e., when the offset from the branch to the target is too large to fit
in the immediate field of the branch instruction, it may be necessary to
replace the branch with a branch around a jump. For example,
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> beqz a2, L
</pre></div>
<p>may result in:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> bnez.n a2, M
j L
M:
</pre></div>
<p>(The <code>BNEZ.N</code> instruction would be used in this example only if the
density option is available. Otherwise, <code>BNEZ</code> would be used.)
</p>
<p>This relaxation works well because the unconditional jump instruction
has a much larger offset range than the various conditional branches.
However, an error will occur if a branch target is beyond the range of a
jump instruction. <code>as</code> cannot relax unconditional jumps.
Similarly, an error will occur if the original input contains an
unconditional jump to a target that is out of range.
</p>
<p>Branch relaxation is enabled by default. It can be disabled by using
underscore prefixes (see <a href="#Xtensa-Opcodes">Opcode Names</a>), the
&lsquo;<samp>--no-transform</samp>&rsquo; command-line option (see <a href="#Xtensa-Options">Command-line Options</a>), or the <code>no-transform</code> directive

<p>Function calls may require relaxation because the Xtensa immediate call
instructions (<code>CALL0</code>, <code>CALL4</code>, <code>CALL8</code> and
<code>CALL12</code>) provide a PC-relative offset of only 512 Kbytes in either
direction. For larger programs, it may be necessary to use indirect
calls (<code>CALLX0</code>, <code>CALLX4</code>, <code>CALLX8</code> and <code>CALLX12</code>)
where the target address is specified in a register. The Xtensa
assembler can automatically relax immediate call instructions into
indirect call instructions. This relaxation is done by loading the
address of the called function into the callee&rsquo;s return address register
and then using a <code>CALLX</code> instruction. So, for example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> call8 func
</pre></div>
<p>might be relaxed to:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .literal .L1, func
l32r a8, .L1
callx8 a8
</pre></div>
<p>Because the addresses of targets of function calls are not generally
known until link-time, the assembler must assume the worst and relax all
the calls to functions in other source files, not just those that really
will be out of range. The linker can recognize calls that were
unnecessarily relaxed, and it will remove the overhead introduced by the
assembler for those cases where direct calls are sufficient.
</p>
<p>Call relaxation is disabled by default because it can have a negative
effect on both code size and performance, although the linker can
usually eliminate the unnecessary overhead. If a program is too large
and some of the calls are out of range, function call relaxation can be
enabled using the &lsquo;<samp>--longcalls</samp>&rsquo; command-line option or the
<code>longcalls</code> directive (see <a href="#Longcalls-Directive">longcalls</a>).

<p>Jump instruction may require relaxation because the Xtensa jump instruction
(<code>J</code>) provide a PC-relative offset of only 128 Kbytes in either
direction. One option is to use jump long (<code>J.L</code>) instruction, which
depending on jump distance may be assembled as jump (<code>J</code>) or indirect
jump (<code>JX</code>). However it needs a free register. When there&rsquo;s no spare
register it is possible to plant intermediate jump sites (trampolines)
between the jump instruction and its target. These sites may be located in
areas unreachable by normal code execution flow, in that case they only
contain intermediate jumps, or they may be inserted in the middle of code
block, in which case there&rsquo;s an additional jump from the beginning of the
trampoline to the instruction past its end. So, for example:

<p>The Xtensa assembler uses trampolines with jump around only when it cannot
find suitable unreachable trampoline. There may be multiple trampolines
between the jump instruction and its target.
</p>
<p>This relaxation does not apply to jumps to undefined symbols, assuming they
will reach their targets once resolved.
</p>
<p>Jump relaxation is enabled by default because it does not affect code size
or performance while the code itself is small. This relaxation may be
disabled completely with &lsquo;<samp>--no-trampolines</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>--no-transform</samp>&rsquo;
command-line options (see <a href="#Xtensa-Options">Command-line Options</a>).

<p>The assembler normally performs the following other relaxations. They
can be disabled by using underscore prefixes (see <a href="#Xtensa-Opcodes">Opcode Names</a>), the &lsquo;<samp>--no-transform</samp>&rsquo; command-line option
(see <a href="#Xtensa-Options">Command-line Options</a>), or the
<code>no-transform</code> directive (see <a href="#Transform-Directive">transform</a>).
</p>
<a name="index-MOVI-instructions_002c-relaxation"></a>
<a name="index-relaxation-of-MOVI-instructions"></a>
<p>The <code>MOVI</code> machine instruction can only materialize values in the
range from -2048 to 2047. Values outside this range are best
materialized with <code>L32R</code> instructions. Thus:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> movi a0, 100000
</pre></div>
<p>is assembled into the following machine code:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .literal .L1, 100000
l32r a0, .L1
</pre></div>
<a name="index-L8UI-instructions_002c-relaxation"></a>

<a name="index-relaxation-of-L16UI-instructions"></a>
<a name="index-relaxation-of-L32I-instructions"></a>
<p>The <code>L8UI</code> machine instruction can only be used with immediate
offsets in the range from 0 to 255. The <code>L16SI</code> and <code>L16UI</code>
machine instructions can only be used with offsets from 0 to 510. The
<code>L32I</code> machine instruction can only be used with offsets from 0 to
1020. A load offset outside these ranges can be materialized with
an <code>L32R</code> instruction if the destination register of the load
is different than the source address register. For example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> l32i a1, a0, 2040
</pre></div>
<p>is translated to:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .literal .L1, 2040
l32r a1, .L1
</pre><pre class="smallexample"> add a1, a0, a1
l32i a1, a1, 0
</pre></div>
<p>If the load destination and source address register are the same, an
out-of-range offset causes an error.
</p>
<a name="index-ADDI-instructions_002c-relaxation"></a>
<a name="index-relaxation-of-ADDI-instructions"></a>
<p>The Xtensa <code>ADDI</code> instruction only allows immediate operands in the
range from -128 to 127. There are a number of alternate instruction
sequences for the <code>ADDI</code> operation. First, if the
immediate is 0, the <code>ADDI</code> will be turned into a <code>MOV.N</code>
instruction (or the equivalent <code>OR</code> instruction if the code density
option is not available). If the <code>ADDI</code> immediate is outside of
the range -128 to 127, but inside the range -32896 to 32639, an
<code>ADDMI</code> instruction or <code>ADDMI</code>/<code>ADDI</code> sequence will be
used. Finally, if the immediate is outside of this range and a free
register is available, an <code>L32R</code>/<code>ADD</code> sequence will be used
with a literal allocated from the literal pool.
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> addi a5, a6, 0
addi a5, a6, 512
</pre><pre class="smallexample"> addi a5, a6, 513
addi a5, a6, 50000
</pre></div>
<p>is assembled into the following:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .literal .L1, 50000
mov.n a5, a6
</pre><pre class="smallexample"> addmi a5, a6, 0x200
addmi a5, a6, 0x200
addi a5, a5, 1
</pre><pre class="smallexample"> l32r a5, .L1
add a5, a6, a5

<h4 class="subsection">9.55.5 Directives</h4>
<a name="index-Xtensa-directives"></a>
<a name="index-directives_002c-Xtensa"></a>
<p>The Xtensa assembler supports a region-based directive syntax:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .begin <var>directive</var> [<var>options</var>]
&hellip;
.end <var>directive</var>
</pre></div>
<p>All the Xtensa-specific directives that apply to a region of code use
this syntax.
</p>
<p>The directive applies to code between the <code>.begin</code> and the
<code>.end</code>. The state of the option after the <code>.end</code> reverts to
what it was before the <code>.begin</code>.
A nested <code>.begin</code>/<code>.end</code> region can further
change the state of the directive without having to be aware of its
outer state. For example, consider:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .begin no-transform
L: add a0, a1, a2
</pre><pre class="smallexample"> .begin transform
M: add a0, a1, a2
.end transform
</pre><pre class="smallexample">N: add a0, a1, a2
.end no-transform
</pre></div>
<p>The <code>ADD</code> opcodes at <code>L</code> and <code>N</code> in the outer
<code>no-transform</code> region both result in <code>ADD</code> machine instructions,
but the assembler selects an <code>ADD.N</code> instruction for the
<code>ADD</code> at <code>M</code> in the inner <code>transform</code> region.
</p>
<p>The advantage of this style is that it works well inside macros which can
preserve the context of their callers.
</p>
<p>The following directives are available:

<a name="literal"></a>
<h4 class="subsubsection">9.55.5.4 literal</h4>
<a name="index-literal-directive"></a>
<p>The <code>.literal</code> directive is used to define literal pool data, i.e.,
read-only 32-bit data accessed via <code>L32R</code> instructions.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .literal <var>label</var>, <var>value</var>[, <var>value</var>&hellip;]
</pre></div>
<p>This directive is similar to the standard <code>.word</code> directive, except
that the actual location of the literal data is determined by the
assembler and linker, not by the position of the <code>.literal</code>
directive. Using this directive gives the assembler freedom to locate
the literal data in the most appropriate place and possibly to combine
identical literals. For example, the code:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> entry sp, 40
.literal .L1, sym
l32r a4, .L1
</pre></div>
<p>can be used to load a pointer to the symbol <code>sym</code> into register
<code>a4</code>. The value of <code>sym</code> will not be placed between the
<code>ENTRY</code> and <code>L32R</code> instructions; instead, the assembler puts
the data in a literal pool.
</p>
<p>Literal pools are placed by default in separate literal sections;
however, when using the &lsquo;<samp>--text-section-literals</samp>&rsquo;
option (see <a href="#Xtensa-Options">Command-line Options</a>), the literal
pools for PC-relative mode <code>L32R</code> instructions
are placed in the current section.<a name="DOCF3" href="#FOOT3"><sup>3</sup></a>
These text section literal
pools are created automatically before <code>ENTRY</code> instructions and
manually after &lsquo;<samp>.literal_position</samp>&rsquo; directives (see <a href="#Literal-Position-Directive">literal_position</a>). If there are no preceding
<code>ENTRY</code> instructions, explicit <code>.literal_position</code> directives
must be used to place the text section literal pools; otherwise,
<code>as</code> will report an error.
</p>
<p>When literals are placed in separate sections, the literal section names
are derived from the names of the sections where the literals are
defined. The base literal section names are <code>.literal</code> for
PC-relative mode <code>L32R</code> instructions and <code>.lit4</code> for absolute
mode <code>L32R</code> instructions (see <a href="#Absolute-Literals-Directive">absolute-literals</a>). These base names are used for literals defined in
the default <code>.text</code> section. For literals defined in other
sections or within the scope of a <code>literal_prefix</code> directive
(see <a href="#Literal-Prefix-Directive">literal_prefix</a>), the following rules
determine the literal section name:
</p>
<ol>
<li> If the current section is a member of a section group, the literal
section name includes the group name as a suffix to the base
<code>.literal</code> or <code>.lit4</code> name, with a period to separate the base
name and group name. The literal section is also made a member of the
group.
</li><li> If the current section name (or <code>literal_prefix</code> value) begins with
&ldquo;<code>.gnu.linkonce.<var>kind</var>.</code>&rdquo;, the literal section name is formed
by replacing &ldquo;<code>.<var>kind</var></code>&rdquo; with the base <code>.literal</code> or
<code>.lit4</code> name. For example, for literals defined in a section named
<code>.gnu.linkonce.t.func</code>, the literal section will be
<code>.gnu.linkonce.literal.func</code> or <code>.gnu.linkonce.lit4.func</code>.
</li><li> If the current section name (or <code>literal_prefix</code> value) ends with
<code>.text</code>, the literal section name is formed by replacing that
suffix with the base <code>.literal</code> or <code>.lit4</code> name. For example,
for literals defined in a section named <code>.iram0.text</code>, the literal
section will be <code>.iram0.literal</code> or <code>.iram0.lit4</code>.
</li><li> If none of the preceding conditions apply, the literal section name is
formed by adding the base <code>.literal</code> or <code>.lit4</code> name as a
suffix to the current section name (or <code>literal_prefix</code> value).
</li></ol>

<a name="index-literal_005fposition-directive"></a>
<p>When using &lsquo;<samp>--text-section-literals</samp>&rsquo; to place literals inline
in the section being assembled, the <code>.literal_position</code> directive
can be used to mark a potential location for a literal pool.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .literal_position
</pre></div>
<p>The <code>.literal_position</code> directive is ignored when the
&lsquo;<samp>--text-section-literals</samp>&rsquo; option is not used or when
<code>L32R</code> instructions use the absolute addressing mode.
</p>
<p>The assembler will automatically place text section literal pools
before <code>ENTRY</code> instructions, so the <code>.literal_position</code>
directive is only needed to specify some other location for a literal
pool. You may need to add an explicit jump instruction to skip over an
inline literal pool.
</p>
<p>For example, an interrupt vector does not begin with an <code>ENTRY</code>
instruction so the assembler will be unable to automatically find a good
place to put a literal pool. Moreover, the code for the interrupt
vector must be at a specific starting address, so the literal pool
cannot come before the start of the code. The literal pool for the
vector must be explicitly positioned in the middle of the vector (before
any uses of the literals, due to the negative offsets used by
PC-relative <code>L32R</code> instructions). The <code>.literal_position</code>
directive can be used to do this. In the following code, the literal
for &lsquo;<samp>M</samp>&rsquo; will automatically be aligned correctly and is placed after
the unconditional jump.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">

</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> .begin [no-]absolute-literals

<p>These directives do not change the <code>L32R</code> mode&mdash;they only cause
the assembler to emit the appropriate kind of relocation for <code>L32R</code>
instructions and to place the literal values in the appropriate section.
To change the <code>L32R</code> mode, the program must write the
<code>LITBASE</code> special register. It is the programmer&rsquo;s responsibility
to keep track of the mode and indicate to the assembler which mode is
used in each region of code.
</p>
<p>If the Xtensa configuration includes the absolute <code>L32R</code> addressing
option, the default is to assume absolute <code>L32R</code> addressing unless
the &lsquo;<samp>--no-absolute-literals</samp>&rsquo; command-line option is specified.
Otherwise, the default is to assume PC-relative <code>L32R</code> addressing.
The <code>absolute-literals</code> directive can then be used to override
the default determined by the command-line options.

will not execute on the target processor. The following processor names
are recognized:
<code>z80</code>,
<code>z180</code>,
<code>ez80</code>,
<code>gbz80</code>,
<code>z80n</code>,
<code>r800</code>.
In addition to the basic instruction set, the assembler can be told to
accept some extention mnemonics. For example,
<code>-march=z180+sli+infc</code> extends <var>z180</var> with <var>SLI</var> instructions and
<var>IN F,(C)</var>. The following extentions are currently supported:
<code>full</code> (all known instructions),
<code>adl</code> (ADL CPU mode by default, eZ80 only),
<code>sli</code> (instruction known as <var>SLI</var>, <var>SLL</var> or <var>SL1</var>),
<code>xyhl</code> (instructions with halves of index registers: <var>IXL</var>, <var>IXH</var>,
<var>IYL</var>, <var>IYH</var>),
<code>xdcb</code> (instructions like <var>RotOp (II+d),R</var> and <var>BitOp n,(II+d),R</var>),
<code>infc</code> (instruction <var>IN F,(C)</var> or <var>IN (C)</var>),
<code>outc0</code> (instruction <var>OUT (C),0</var>).
Note that rather than extending a basic instruction set, the extention
mnemonics starting with <code>-</code> revoke the respective functionality:
<code>-march=z80-full+xyhl</code> first removes all default extentions and adds
support for index registers halves only.
</p>
<p>If this option is not specified then <code>-march=z80+xyhl+infc</code> is assumed.

Z80N, Z180, eZ80, Ascii R800 and the GameBoy Z80.
</p>
<p>In many instructions it is possible to use one of the half index
registers (&lsquo;<samp>ixl</samp>&rsquo;,&lsquo;<samp>ixh</samp>&rsquo;,&lsquo;<samp>iyl</samp>&rsquo;,&lsquo;<samp>iyh</samp>&rsquo;) in stead of an
8-bit general purpose register. This yields instructions that are
documented on the eZ80 and the R800, undocumented on the Z80 and
unsupported on the Z180.
Similarly <code>in f,(c)</code> is documented on the R800, undocumented on
the Z80 and unsupported on the Z180 and the eZ80.

<p>Your bug reports play an essential role in making <code>as</code> reliable.
</p>
<p>Reporting a bug may help you by bringing a solution to your problem, or it may
not. But in any case the principal function of a bug report is to help the
entire community by making the next version of <code>as</code> work better.
Bug reports are your contribution to the maintenance of <code>as</code>.
</p>
<p>In order for a bug report to serve its purpose, you must include the
information that enables us to fix the bug.

<a name="index-assembler-crash"></a>

If <code>as</code> does not produce an error message for invalid input, that
is a bug. However, you should note that your idea of &ldquo;invalid input&rdquo; might
be our idea of &ldquo;an extension&rdquo; or &ldquo;support for traditional practice&rdquo;.

<h3 class="section">10.2 How to Report Bugs</h3>
<a name="index-bug-reports"></a>
<a name="index-assembler-bugs_002c-reporting"></a>
<p>A number of companies and individuals offer support for <small>GNU</small> products. If
you obtained <code>as</code> from a support organization, we recommend you
contact that organization first.
</p>
<p>You can find contact information for many support companies and
individuals in the file <samp>etc/SERVICE</samp> in the <small>GNU</small> Emacs
distribution.
</p>
<p>In any event, we also recommend that you send bug reports for <code>as</code>
to <a href="https://bugs.linaro.org/">https://bugs.linaro.org/</a>.
</p>
<p>The fundamental principle of reporting bugs usefully is this:
<strong>report all the facts</strong>. If you are not sure whether to state a
fact or leave it out, state it!
</p>
<p>Often people omit facts because they think they know what causes the problem
and assume that some details do not matter. Thus, you might assume that the
name of a symbol you use in an example does not matter. Well, probably it does
not, but one cannot be sure. Perhaps the bug is a stray memory reference which
happens to fetch from the location where that name is stored in memory;
perhaps, if the name were different, the contents of that location would fool
the assembler into doing the right thing despite the bug. Play it safe and
give a specific, complete example. That is the easiest thing for you to do,
and the most helpful.
</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the purpose of a bug report is to enable us to fix the bug if
it is new to us. Therefore, always write your bug reports on the assumption
that the bug has not been reported previously.
</p>
<p>Sometimes people give a few sketchy facts and ask, &ldquo;Does this ring a
bell?&rdquo; This cannot help us fix a bug, so it is basically useless. We
respond by asking for enough details to enable us to investigate.
You might as well expedite matters by sending them to begin with.
</p>
<p>To enable us to fix the bug, you should include all these things:
</p>
<ul>
<li> The version of <code>as</code>. <code>as</code> announces it if you start
it with the &lsquo;<samp>--version</samp>&rsquo; argument.
<p>Without this, we will not know whether there is any point in looking for
the bug in the current version of <code>as</code>.
</p>
</li><li> Any patches you may have applied to the <code>as</code> source.
</li><li> The type of machine you are using, and the operating system name and
version number.
</li><li> What compiler (and its version) was used to compile <code>as</code>&mdash;e.g.
&ldquo;<code>gcc-2.7</code>&rdquo;.
</li><li> The command arguments you gave the assembler to assemble your example and
observe the bug. To guarantee you will not omit something important, list them
all. A copy of the Makefile (or the output from make) is sufficient.
<p>If we were to try to guess the arguments, we would probably guess wrong
and then we might not encounter the bug.
</p>
</li><li> A complete input file that will reproduce the bug. If the bug is observed when
the assembler is invoked via a compiler, send the assembler source, not the
high level language source. Most compilers will produce the assembler source
when run with the &lsquo;<samp>-S</samp>&rsquo; option. If you are using <code>gcc</code>, use
the options &lsquo;<samp>-v --save-temps</samp>&rsquo;; this will save the assembler source in a
file with an extension of <samp>.s</samp>, and also show you exactly how
<code>as</code> is being run.
</li><li> A description of what behavior you observe that you believe is
incorrect. For example, &ldquo;It gets a fatal signal.&rdquo;
<p>Of course, if the bug is that <code>as</code> gets a fatal signal, then we
will certainly notice it. But if the bug is incorrect output, we might not
notice unless it is glaringly wrong. You might as well not give us a chance to
make a mistake.
</p>
<p>Even if the problem you experience is a fatal signal, you should still say so
explicitly. Suppose something strange is going on, such as, your copy of
<code>as</code> is out of sync, or you have encountered a bug in the C
library on your system. (This has happened!) Your copy might crash and ours
would not. If you told us to expect a crash, then when ours fails to crash, we
would know that the bug was not happening for us. If you had not told us to
expect a crash, then we would not be able to draw any conclusion from our
observations.
</p>
</li><li> If you wish to suggest changes to the <code>as</code> source, send us context
diffs, as generated by <code>diff</code> with the &lsquo;<samp>-u</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>-c</samp>&rsquo;, or &lsquo;<samp>-p</samp>&rsquo;
option. Always send diffs from the old file to the new file. If you even
discuss something in the <code>as</code> source, refer to it by context, not
by line number.
<p>The line numbers in our development sources will not match those in your
sources. Your line numbers would convey no useful information to us.
</p></li></ul>
<p>Here are some things that are not necessary:
</p>
<ul>
<li> A description of the envelope of the bug.
<p>Often people who encounter a bug spend a lot of time investigating
which changes to the input file will make the bug go away and which
changes will not affect it.
</p>
<p>This is often time consuming and not very useful, because the way we
will find the bug is by running a single example under the debugger
with breakpoints, not by pure deduction from a series of examples.
We recommend that you save your time for something else.
</p>
<p>Of course, if you can find a simpler example to report <em>instead</em>
of the original one, that is a convenience for us. Errors in the
output will be easier to spot, running under the debugger will take
less time, and so on.
</p>
<p>However, simplification is not vital; if you do not want to do this,
report the bug anyway and send us the entire test case you used.
</p>
</li><li> A patch for the bug.
<p>A patch for the bug does help us if it is a good one. But do not omit
the necessary information, such as the test case, on the assumption that
a patch is all we need. We might see problems with your patch and decide
to fix the problem another way, or we might not understand it at all.
</p>
<p>Sometimes with a program as complicated as <code>as</code> it is very hard to
construct an example that will make the program follow a certain path through
the code. If you do not send us the example, we will not be able to construct
one, so we will not be able to verify that the bug is fixed.
</p>
<p>And if we cannot understand what bug you are trying to fix, or why your
patch should be an improvement, we will not install it. A test case will
help us to understand.
</p>
</li><li> A guess about what the bug is or what it depends on.
<p>Such guesses are usually wrong. Even we cannot guess right about such
things without first using the debugger to find the facts.
</p></li></ul>

extensive changes in <samp>messages.c</samp>, <samp>input-file.c</samp>, <samp>write.c</samp>.
</p>
<p>K. Richard Pixley maintained GAS for a while, adding various enhancements and
many bug fixes, including merging support for several processors, breaking GAS
up to handle multiple object file format back ends (including heavy rewrite,
testing, an integration of the coff and b.out back ends), adding configuration
including heavy testing and verification of cross assemblers and file splits
and renaming, converted GAS to strictly ANSI C including full prototypes, added
support for m680[34]0 and cpu32, did considerable work on i960 including a COFF
port (including considerable amounts of reverse engineering), a SPARC opcode
file rewrite, DECstation, rs6000, and hp300hpux host ports, updated &ldquo;know&rdquo;
assertions and made them work, much other reorganization, cleanup, and lint.
</p>
<p>Ken Raeburn wrote the high-level BFD interface code to replace most of the code
in format-specific I/O modules.
</p>
<p>The original VMS support was contributed by David L. Kashtan. Eric Youngdale
has done much work with it since.
</p>
<p>The Intel 80386 machine description was written by Eliot Dresselhaus.
</p>
<p>Minh Tran-Le at IntelliCorp contributed some AIX 386 support.
</p>
<p>The Motorola 88k machine description was contributed by Devon Bowen of Buffalo
University and Torbjorn Granlund of the Swedish Institute of Computer Science.
</p>
<p>Keith Knowles at the Open Software Foundation wrote the original MIPS back end
(<samp>tc-mips.c</samp>, <samp>tc-mips.h</samp>), and contributed Rose format support
(which hasn&rsquo;t been merged in yet). Ralph Campbell worked with the MIPS code to
support a.out format.
</p>
<p>Support for the Zilog Z8k and Renesas H8/300 processors (tc-z8k,
tc-h8300), and IEEE 695 object file format (obj-ieee), was written by
Steve Chamberlain of Cygnus Support. Steve also modified the COFF back end to
use BFD for some low-level operations, for use with the H8/300 and AMD 29k
targets.
</p>
<p>John Gilmore built the AMD 29000 support, added <code>.include</code> support, and
simplified the configuration of which versions accept which directives. He
updated the 68k machine description so that Motorola&rsquo;s opcodes always produced
fixed-size instructions (e.g., <code>jsr</code>), while synthetic instructions
remained shrinkable (<code>jbsr</code>). John fixed many bugs, including true tested
cross-compilation support, and one bug in relaxation that took a week and
required the proverbial one-bit fix.
</p>
<p>Ian Lance Taylor of Cygnus Support merged the Motorola and MIT syntax for the
68k, completed support for some COFF targets (68k, i386 SVR3, and SCO Unix),
added support for MIPS ECOFF and ELF targets, wrote the initial RS/6000 and
PowerPC assembler, and made a few other minor patches.
</p>
<p>Steve Chamberlain made GAS able to generate listings.
</p>
<p>Hewlett-Packard contributed support for the HP9000/300.
</p>
<p>Jeff Law wrote GAS and BFD support for the native HPPA object format (SOM)
along with a fairly extensive HPPA testsuite (for both SOM and ELF object
formats). This work was supported by both the Center for Software Science at
the University of Utah and Cygnus Support.
</p>
<p>Support for ELF format files has been worked on by Mark Eichin of Cygnus
Support (original, incomplete implementation for SPARC), Pete Hoogenboom and
Jeff Law at the University of Utah (HPPA mainly), Michael Meissner of the Open
Software Foundation (i386 mainly), and Ken Raeburn of Cygnus Support (sparc,
and some initial 64-bit support).
</p>
<p>Linas Vepstas added GAS support for the ESA/390 &ldquo;IBM 370&rdquo; architecture.
</p>
<p>Richard Henderson rewrote the Alpha assembler. Klaus Kaempf wrote GAS and BFD
support for openVMS/Alpha.
</p>
<p>Timothy Wall, Michael Hayes, and Greg Smart contributed to the various tic*
flavors.
</p>
<p>David Heine, Sterling Augustine, Bob Wilson and John Ruttenberg from Tensilica,
Inc. added support for Xtensa processors.
</p>
<p>Several engineers at Cygnus Support have also provided many small bug fixes and
configuration enhancements.
</p>
<p>Jon Beniston added support for the Lattice Mico32 architecture.
</p>
<p>Many others have contributed large or small bugfixes and enhancements. If
you have contributed significant work and are not mentioned on this list, and
want to be, let us know. Some of the history has been lost; we are not
intentionally leaving anyone out.

<h2 class="appendix">Appendix A GNU Free Documentation License</h2>
<div align="center">Version 1.3, 3 November 2008
</div>
<div class="display">
<pre class="display">Copyright &copy; 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
<a href="http://fsf.org/">http://fsf.org/</a>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
</pre></div>
<ol>
<li> PREAMBLE
<p>The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
functional and useful document <em>free</em> in the sense of freedom: to
assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
for modifications made by others.
</p>
<p>This License is a kind of &ldquo;copyleft&rdquo;, which means that derivative
works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
license designed for free software.
</p>
<p>We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
</p>
</li><li> APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
<p>This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
work under the conditions stated herein. The &ldquo;Document&rdquo;, below,
refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
licensee, and is addressed as &ldquo;you&rdquo;. You accept the license if you
copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
under copyright law.
</p>
<p>A &ldquo;Modified Version&rdquo; of the Document means any work containing the
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
modifications and/or translated into another language.
</p>
<p>A &ldquo;Secondary Section&rdquo; is a named appendix or a front-matter section
of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
publishers or authors of the Document to the Document&rsquo;s overall
subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in
part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain
any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
them.
</p>
<p>The &ldquo;Invariant Sections&rdquo; are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
Sections then there are none.
</p>
<p>The &ldquo;Cover Texts&rdquo; are certain short passages of text that are listed,
as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
</p>
<p>A &ldquo;Transparent&rdquo; copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
general public, that is suitable for revising the document
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
of text. A copy that is not &ldquo;Transparent&rdquo; is called &ldquo;Opaque&rdquo;.
</p>
<p>Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
<small>ASCII</small> without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input
format, <acronym>SGML</acronym> or <acronym>XML</acronym> using a publicly available
<acronym>DTD</acronym>, and standard-conforming simple <acronym>HTML</acronym>,
PostScript or <acronym>PDF</acronym> designed for human modification. Examples
of transparent image formats include <acronym>PNG</acronym>, <acronym>XCF</acronym> and
<acronym>JPG</acronym>. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be
read and edited only by proprietary word processors, <acronym>SGML</acronym> or
<acronym>XML</acronym> for which the <acronym>DTD</acronym> and/or processing tools are
not generally available, and the machine-generated <acronym>HTML</acronym>,
PostScript or <acronym>PDF</acronym> produced by some word processors for
output purposes only.
</p>
<p>The &ldquo;Title Page&rdquo; means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
formats which do not have any title page as such, &ldquo;Title Page&rdquo; means
the text near the most prominent appearance of the work&rsquo;s title,
preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
</p>
<p>The &ldquo;publisher&rdquo; means any person or entity that distributes copies
of the Document to the public.
</p>
<p>A section &ldquo;Entitled XYZ&rdquo; means a named subunit of the Document whose
title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
specific section name mentioned below, such as &ldquo;Acknowledgements&rdquo;,
&ldquo;Dedications&rdquo;, &ldquo;Endorsements&rdquo;, or &ldquo;History&rdquo;.) To &ldquo;Preserve the Title&rdquo;
of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
section &ldquo;Entitled XYZ&rdquo; according to this definition.
</p>
<p>The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
no effect on the meaning of this License.
</p>
</li><li> VERBATIM COPYING
<p>You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
</p>
<p>You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
you may publicly display copies.
</p>
</li><li> COPYING IN QUANTITY
<p>If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
Document&rsquo;s license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
as verbatim copying in other respects.
</p>
<p>If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
pages.
</p>
<p>If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
a computer-network location from which the general network-using
public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
edition to the public.
</p>
<p>It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
</p>
</li><li> MODIFICATIONS
<p>You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
</p>
<ol>
<li> Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
</li><li> List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
unless they release you from this requirement.
</li><li> State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
Modified Version, as the publisher.
</li><li> Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
</li><li> Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
adjacent to the other copyright notices.
</li><li> Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
</li><li> Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
and required Cover Texts given in the Document&rsquo;s license notice.
</li><li> Include an unaltered copy of this License.
</li><li> Preserve the section Entitled &ldquo;History&rdquo;, Preserve its Title, and add
to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
there is no section Entitled &ldquo;History&rdquo; in the Document, create one
stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
Version as stated in the previous sentence.
</li><li> Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
it was based on. These may be placed in the &ldquo;History&rdquo; section.
You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
</li><li> For any section Entitled &ldquo;Acknowledgements&rdquo; or &ldquo;Dedications&rdquo;, Preserve
the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the
substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or
dedications given therein.
</li><li> Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
</li><li> Delete any section Entitled &ldquo;Endorsements&rdquo;. Such a section
may not be included in the Modified Version.
</li><li> Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled &ldquo;Endorsements&rdquo; or
to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
</li><li> Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
</li></ol>
<p>If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version&rsquo;s license notice.
These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
</p>
<p>You may add a section Entitled &ldquo;Endorsements&rdquo;, provided it contains
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
parties&mdash;for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
standard.
</p>
<p>You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
</p>
<p>The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
</p>
</li><li> COMBINING DOCUMENTS
<p>You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
</p>
<p>The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
</p>
<p>In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled &ldquo;History&rdquo;
in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
&ldquo;History&rdquo;; likewise combine any sections Entitled &ldquo;Acknowledgements&rdquo;,
and any sections Entitled &ldquo;Dedications&rdquo;. You must delete all
sections Entitled &ldquo;Endorsements.&rdquo;
</p>
</li><li> COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
<p>You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
</p>
<p>You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
</p>
</li><li> AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
<p>A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium, is called an &ldquo;aggregate&rdquo; if the copyright
resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
of the compilation&rsquo;s users beyond what the individual works permit.
When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
derivative works of the Document.
</p>
<p>If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
the entire aggregate, the Document&rsquo;s Cover Texts may be placed on
covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
aggregate.
</p>
</li><li> TRANSLATION
<p>Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
the original English version of this License and the original versions
of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
</p>
<p>If a section in the Document is Entitled &ldquo;Acknowledgements&rdquo;,
&ldquo;Dedications&rdquo;, or &ldquo;History&rdquo;, the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
title.
</p>
</li><li> TERMINATION
<p>You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and
will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
</p>
<p>However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
60 days after the cessation.
</p>
<p>Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
your receipt of the notice.
</p>
<p>Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does
not give you any rights to use it.
</p>
</li><li> FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
<p>The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/">http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/</a>.
</p>
<p>Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
License &ldquo;or any later version&rdquo; applies to it, you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document
specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this
License can be used, that proxy&rsquo;s public statement of acceptance of a
version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the
Document.
</p>
</li><li> RELICENSING
<p>&ldquo;Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site&rdquo; (or &ldquo;MMC Site&rdquo;) means any
World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A
public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A
&ldquo;Massive Multiauthor Collaboration&rdquo; (or &ldquo;MMC&rdquo;) contained in the
site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC
site.
</p>
<p>&ldquo;CC-BY-SA&rdquo; means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit
corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,
California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license
published by that same organization.
</p>
<p>&ldquo;Incorporate&rdquo; means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or
in part, as part of another Document.
</p>
<p>An MMC is &ldquo;eligible for relicensing&rdquo; if it is licensed under this
License, and if all works that were first published under this License
somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole
or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections,
and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.
</p>
<p>The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site
under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009,
provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.

<a name="ADDENDUM_003a-How-to-use-this-License-for-your-documents"></a>
<h3 class="heading">ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents</h3>
<p>To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
the License in the document and put the following copyright and
license notices just after the title page:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> Copyright (C) <var>year</var> <var>your name</var>.
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
Free Documentation License''.
</pre></div>
<p>If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts,
replace the &ldquo;with&hellip;Texts.&rdquo; line with this:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> with the Invariant Sections being <var>list their titles</var>, with
the Front-Cover Texts being <var>list</var>, and with the Back-Cover Texts
being <var>list</var>.
</pre></div>
<p>If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
situation.
</p>
<p>If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,
to permit their use in free software.

<h3><a name="FOOT1" href="#DOCF1">(1)</a></h3>
<p>This
is not the same as the executable image file alignment controlled by <code>ld</code>&rsquo;s
&lsquo;<samp>--section-alignment</samp>&rsquo; option; image file sections in PE are aligned to
multiples of 4096, which is far too large an alignment for ordinary variables.
It is rather the default alignment for (non-debug) sections within object
(&lsquo;<samp>*.o</samp>&rsquo;) files, which are less strictly aligned.</p>
<h3><a name="FOOT2" href="#DOCF2">(2)</a></h3>
<p>The term &ldquo;macro&rdquo; is somewhat overloaded here, since
these macros have no relation to those defined by <code>.macro</code>,
see <a href="#Macro"><code>.macro</code></a>.</p>
<h3><a name="FOOT3" href="#DOCF3">(3)</a></h3>
<p>Literals for the
<code>.init</code> and <code>.fini</code> sections are always placed in separate
sections, even when &lsquo;<samp>--text-section-literals</samp>&rsquo; is enabled.</p>
<h3><a name="FOOT4" href="#DOCF4">(4)</a></h3>
<p>Any
more details?</p>
