28 The Renesas RX port of @code{@value{AS}} has a few target specfic
33 @cindex @samp{-m32bit-doubles}
35 This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 32-bit float ABI.
36 It has no effect on the assembled instructions, but it does influence
37 the behaviour of the @samp{.double} pseudo-op.
40 @cindex @samp{-m64bit-doubles}
42 This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 64-bit float ABI.
43 It has no effect on the assembled instructions, but it does influence
44 the behaviour of the @samp{.double} pseudo-op.
46 @cindex @samp{-mbig-endian}
48 This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a big-endian data
49 ABI. It has no effect on the assembled instructions, but it does
50 influence the behaviour of the @samp{.short}, @samp{.hword}, @samp{.int},
51 @samp{.word}, @samp{.long}, @samp{.quad} and @samp{.octa} pseudo-ops.
53 @cindex @samp{-mlittle-endian}
55 This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a little-endian data
56 ABI. It has no effect on the assembled instructions, but it does
57 influence the behaviour of the @samp{.short}, @samp{.hword}, @samp{.int},
58 @samp{.word}, @samp{.long}, @samp{.quad} and @samp{.octa} pseudo-ops.
61 @cindex @samp{-muse-conventional-section-names}
62 @item -muse-conventional-section-names
63 This option controls the default names given to the code (.text),
64 initialised data (.data) and uninitialised data sections (.bss).
66 @cindex @samp{-muse-renesas-section-names}
67 @item -muse-renesas-section-names
68 This option controls the default names given to the code (.P),
69 initialised data (.D_1) and uninitialised data sections (.B_1).
72 @cindex @samp{-msmall-data-limit}
73 @item -msmall-data-limit
74 This option tells the assembler that the small data limit feature of
75 the RX port of GCC is being used. This results in the assembler
76 generating an undefined reference to a symbol called @code{__gp} for
77 use by the relocations that are needed to support the small data limit
78 feature. This option is not enabled by default as it would otherwise
79 pollute the symbol table.
83 This option tells the assembler that the position independent data of the
84 RX port of GCC is being used. This results in the assembler
85 generating an undefined reference to a symbol called @code{__pid_base},
86 and also setting the RX_PID flag bit in the e_flags field of the ELF
87 header of the object file.
89 @cindex @samp{-mint-register}
90 @item -mint-register=@var{num}
91 This option tells the assembler how many registers have been reserved
92 for use by interrupt handlers. This is needed in order to compute the
93 correct values for the @code{%gpreg} and @code{%pidreg} meta registers.
95 @cindex @samp{-mgcc-abi}
97 This option tells the assembler that the old GCC ABI is being used by
98 the assembled code. With this version of the ABI function arguments
99 that are passed on the stack are aligned to a 32-bit boundary.
101 @cindex @samp{-mrx-abi}
103 This option tells the assembler that the official RX ABI is being used
104 by the assembled code. With this version of the ABI function
105 arguments that are passed on the stack are aligned to their natural
106 alignments. This option is the default.
108 @cindex @samp{-mcpu=}
109 @item -mcpu=@var{name}
110 This option tells the assembler the target CPU type. Currently the
111 @code{rx200}, @code{rx600} and @code{rx610} are recognised as valid
112 cpu names. Attempting to assemble an instruction not supported by the
113 indicated cpu type will result in an error message being generated.
118 @section Symbolic Operand Modifiers
124 The assembler supports one modifier when using symbol addresses
125 in RX instruction operands. The general syntax is the following:
131 The modifier returns the offset from the @var{__gp} symbol to the
132 specified symbol as a 16-bit value. The intent is that this offset
133 should be used in a register+offset move instruction when generating
134 references to small data. Ie, like this:
137 mov.W %gp(_foo)[%gpreg], r1
140 The assembler also supports two meta register names which can be used
141 to refer to registers whose values may not be known to the
142 programmer. These meta register names are:
146 @cindex @samp{%gpreg}
148 The small data address register.
150 @cindex @samp{%pidreg}
152 The PID base address register.
156 Both registers normally have the value r13, but this can change if
157 some registers have been reserved for use by interrupt handlers or if
158 both the small data limit and position independent data features are
159 being used at the same time.
162 @section Assembler Directives
164 @cindex assembler directives, RX
165 @cindex RX assembler directives
167 The RX version of @code{@value{AS}} has the following specific
168 assembler directives:
173 @cindex assembler directive .3byte, RX
174 @cindex RX assembler directive .3byte
175 Inserts a 3-byte value into the output file at the current location.
178 @cindex assembler directive .fetchalign, RX
179 @cindex RX assembler directive .fetchalign
180 If the next opcode following this directive spans a fetch line
181 boundary (8 byte boundary), the opcode is aligned to that boundary.
182 If the next opcode does not span a fetch line, this directive has no
183 effect. Note that one or more labels may be between this directive
184 and the opcode; those labels are aligned as well. Any inserted bytes
185 due to alignment will form a NOP opcode.
190 @section Floating Point
192 @cindex floating point, RX
193 @cindex RX floating point
195 The floating point formats generated by directives are these.
198 @cindex @code{float} directive, RX
201 @code{Single} precision (32-bit) floating point constants.
203 @cindex @code{double} directive, RX
205 If the @option{-m64bit-doubles} command line option has been specified
206 then then @code{double} directive generates @code{double} precision
207 (64-bit) floating point constants, otherwise it generates
208 @code{single} precision (32-bit) floating point constants. To force
209 the generation of 64-bit floating point constants used the @code{dc.d}
215 @section Syntax for the RX
217 * RX-Chars:: Special Characters
221 @subsection Special Characters
223 @cindex line comment character, RX
224 @cindex RX line comment character
225 The presence of a @samp{;} appearing anywhere on a line indicates the
226 start of a comment that extends to the end of that line.
228 If a @samp{#} appears as the first character of a line then the whole
229 line is treated as a comment, but in this case the line can also be a
230 logical line number directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a preprocessor
231 control command (@pxref{Preprocessing}).
233 @cindex line separator, RX
234 @cindex statement separator, RX
235 @cindex RX line separator
236 The @samp{!} character can be used to separate statements on the same
