@section i860 Notes
|
|
This is a fairly complete i860 assembler which is compatible with the
|
|
UNIX System V/860 Release 4 assembler. However, it does not currently
|
|
support SVR4 PIC (i.e., @code{@@GOT, @@GOTOFF, @@PLT}).
|
|
|
|
Like the SVR4/860 assembler, the output object format is ELF32. Currently,
|
|
this is the only supported object format. If there is sufficient interest,
|
|
other formats such as COFF may be implemented.
|
|
|
|
Both the Intel and AT&T/SVR4 syntaxes are supported, with the latter
|
|
being the default. One difference is that AT&T syntax requires the '%'
|
|
prefix on register names while Intel syntax does not. Another difference
|
|
is in the specification of relocatable expressions. The Intel syntax
|
|
is @code{ha%expression} whereas the SVR4 syntax is @code{[expression]@@ha}
|
|
(and similarly for the "l" and "h" selectors).

@subsection Other options
|
|
@table @code
|
|
@item -EL
|
|
Select little endian output (this is the default).
|
|
@item -EB
|
|
Select big endian output. Note that the i860 always reads instructions
|
|
as little endian data, so this option only effects data and not
|
|
instructions.
|
|
@item -mwarn-expand
|
|
Emit a warning message if any pseudo-instruction expansions occurred.
|
|
For example, a @code{or} instruction with an immediate larger than 16-bits
|
|
will be expanded into two instructions. This is a very undesirable feature to
|
|
rely on, so this flag can help detect any code where it happens. One
|
|
use of it, for instance, has been to find and eliminate any place
|
|
where @code{gcc} may emit these pseudo-instructions.
|
|
@item -mxp
|
|
Enable support for the i860XP instructions and control registers. By default,
|
|
this option is disabled so that only the base instruction set (i.e., i860XR)
|
|
is supported.
|
|
@item -mintel-syntax
|
|
The i860 assembler defaults to AT&T/SVR4 syntax. This option enables the
|
|
Intel syntax.

preferred way to use dual instruction mode is to explicitly code

the dual bit with the @code{d.} prefix.

@cindex @code{enddual} directive, i860

Exit dual instruction mode. While this directive is supported, the

preferred way to use dual instruction mode is to explicitly code
|
|
the dual bit with the @code{d.} prefix.
|

@end table

@table @code
|

@cindex @code{atmp} directive, i860

@item .atmp
|

Change the temporary register used when expanding pseudo operations. The

default register is @code{r31}.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
The @code{.dual}, @code{.enddual}, and @code{.atmp} directives are available only in the Intel syntax mode.
|
|
|
|
Both syntaxes allow for the standard @code{.align} directive. However,
|
|
the Intel syntax additionally allows keywords for the alignment
|
|
parameter: "@code{.align type}", where `type' is one of @code{.short}, @code{.long},
|
|
@code{.quad}, @code{.single}, @code{.double} representing alignments of 2, 4,
|
|
16, 4, and 8, respectively.

|
|
@subsection Other instruction support (pseudo-instructions)
|
|
For compatibility with some other i860 assemblers, a number of
|
|
pseudo-instructions are supported. While these are supported, they are
|
|
a very undesirable feature that should be avoided -- in particular, when
|
|
they result in an expansion to multiple actual i860 instructions. Below
|
|
are the pseudo-instructions that result in expansions.
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
@item Load large immediate into general register:
|
|
|
|
The pseudo-instruction @code{mov imm,%rn} (where the immediate does
|
|
not fit within a signed 16-bit field) will be expanded into:
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
orh large_imm@@h,%r0,%rn
|
|
or large_imm@@l,%rn,%rn
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
@item Load/store with relocatable address expression:
|
|
|
|
For example, the pseudo-instruction @code{ld.b addr_exp(%rx),%rn}
|
|
will be expanded into:
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
orh addr_exp@@ha,%rx,%r31
|
|
ld.l addr_exp@@l(%r31),%rn
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
The analogous expansions apply to @code{ld.x, st.x, fld.x, pfld.x, fst.x}, and @code{pst.x} as well.
|
|
@item Signed large immediate with add/subtract:
|
|
|
|
If any of the arithmetic operations @code{adds, addu, subs, subu} are used
|
|
with an immediate larger than 16-bits (signed), then they will be expanded.
|
|
For instance, the pseudo-instruction @code{adds large_imm,%rx,%rn} expands to:
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
orh large_imm@@h,%r0,%r31
|
|
or large_imm@@l,%r31,%r31
|
|
adds %r31,%rx,%rn
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
@item Unsigned large immediate with logical operations:
|
|
|
|
Logical operations (@code{or, andnot, or, xor}) also result in expansions.
|
|
The pseudo-instruction @code{or large_imm,%rx,%rn} results in:
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
orh large_imm@@h,%rx,%r31
|
|
or large_imm@@l,%r31,%rn
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
Similarly for the others, except for @code{and} which expands to:
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
andnot (-1 - large_imm)@@h,%rx,%r31
|
|
andnot (-1 - large_imm)@@l,%r31,%rn
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
@end itemize
