@cindex x86-64 support
|
|
|
|
The i386 version @code{@value{AS}} supports both the original Intel 386
|
|
architecture in both 16 and 32-bit mode as well as AMD x86-64 architecture
|
|
extending the Intel architecture to 64-bits.

@cindex options for x86-64
|
|
@cindex i386 options
|
|
@cindex x86-64 options
|
|
|
|
The i386 version of @code{@value{AS}} has a few machine
|
|
dependent options:
|
|
|
|
@c man begin OPTIONS
|
|
@table @gcctabopt
|
|
@cindex @samp{--32} option, i386
|
|
@cindex @samp{--32} option, x86-64
|
|
@cindex @samp{--x32} option, i386
|
|
@cindex @samp{--x32} option, x86-64
|
|
@cindex @samp{--64} option, i386
|
|
@cindex @samp{--64} option, x86-64
|
|
@item --32 | --x32 | --64
|
|
Select the word size, either 32 bits or 64 bits. @samp{--32}
|
|
implies Intel i386 architecture, while @samp{--x32} and @samp{--64}
|
|
imply AMD x86-64 architecture with 32-bit or 64-bit word-size
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
These options are only available with the ELF object file format, and
|
|
require that the necessary BFD support has been included (on a 32-bit
|
|
platform you have to add --enable-64-bit-bfd to configure enable 64-bit
|
|
usage and use x86-64 as target platform).
|
|
|
|
@item -n
|
|
By default, x86 GAS replaces multiple nop instructions used for
|
|
alignment within code sections with multi-byte nop instructions such
|
|
as leal 0(%esi,1),%esi. This switch disables the optimization if a single
|
|
byte nop (0x90) is explicitly specified as the fill byte for alignment.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @samp{--divide} option, i386
|
|
@item --divide
|
|
On SVR4-derived platforms, the character @samp{/} is treated as a comment
|
|
character, which means that it cannot be used in expressions. The
|
|
@samp{--divide} option turns @samp{/} into a normal character. This does
|
|
not disable @samp{/} at the beginning of a line starting a comment, or
|
|
affect using @samp{#} for starting a comment.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @samp{-march=} option, i386
|
|
@cindex @samp{-march=} option, x86-64
|
|
@item -march=@var{CPU}[+@var{EXTENSION}@dots{}]
|
|
This option specifies the target processor. The assembler will
|
|
issue an error message if an attempt is made to assemble an instruction
|
|
which will not execute on the target processor. The following
|
|
processor names are recognized:
|
|
@code{i8086},
|
|
@code{i186},
|
|
@code{i286},
|
|
@code{i386},
|
|

|
|
@code{i586},
|

|
|
|
In addition to the basic instruction set, the assembler can be told to
|
|
accept various extension mnemonics. For example,
|
|
@code{-march=i686+sse4+vmx} extends @var{i686} with @var{sse4} and
|
|
@var{vmx}. The following extensions are currently supported:
|

mnemonics starting with @code{no} revoke the respective functionality.
|
|
|
|
When the @code{.arch} directive is used with @option{-march}, the
|
|
@code{.arch} directive will take precedent.
|
|
|

This option specifies a processor to optimize for. When used in
|
|
conjunction with the @option{-march} option, only instructions
|
|
of the processor specified by the @option{-march} option will be
|
|
generated.
|
|
|
|
Valid @var{CPU} values are identical to the processor list of
|
|
@option{-march=@var{CPU}}.
|
|
|

@itemx -mevexlig=@var{256}
|
|
@itemx -mevexlig=@var{512}
|
|
These options control how the assembler should encode length-ignored
|
|
(LIG) EVEX instructions. @option{-mevexlig=@var{128}} will encode LIG
|
|
EVEX instructions with 128bit vector length, which is the default.
|
|
@option{-mevexlig=@var{256}} and @option{-mevexlig=@var{512}} will
|
|
encode LIG EVEX instructions with 256bit and 512bit vector length,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @samp{-mevexwig=} option, i386
|
|
@cindex @samp{-mevexwig=} option, x86-64
|
|
@item -mevexwig=@var{0}
|
|
@itemx -mevexwig=@var{1}
|
|
These options control how the assembler should encode w-ignored (WIG)
|
|
EVEX instructions. @option{-mevexwig=@var{0}} will encode WIG
|
|
EVEX instructions with evex.w = 0, which is the default.
|
|
@option{-mevexwig=@var{1}} will encode WIG EVEX instructions with
|
|
evex.w = 1.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @samp{-mmnemonic=} option, i386
|
|
@cindex @samp{-mmnemonic=} option, x86-64
|
|
@item -mmnemonic=@var{att}
|
|
@itemx -mmnemonic=@var{intel}
|
|
This option specifies instruction mnemonic for matching instructions.
|
|
The @code{.att_mnemonic} and @code{.intel_mnemonic} directives will
|
|
take precedent.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @samp{-msyntax=} option, i386
|
|
@cindex @samp{-msyntax=} option, x86-64
|
|
@item -msyntax=@var{att}
|
|
@itemx -msyntax=@var{intel}
|
|
This option specifies instruction syntax when processing instructions.
|
|
The @code{.att_syntax} and @code{.intel_syntax} directives will
|
|
take precedent.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @samp{-mnaked-reg} option, i386
|
|
@cindex @samp{-mnaked-reg} option, x86-64
|
|
@item -mnaked-reg
|
|
This option specifies that registers don't require a @samp{%} prefix.
|
|
The @code{.att_syntax} and @code{.intel_syntax} directives will take precedent.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @samp{-madd-bnd-prefix} option, i386
|
|
@cindex @samp{-madd-bnd-prefix} option, x86-64
|
|
@item -madd-bnd-prefix
|
|
This option forces the assembler to add BND prefix to all branches, even
|
|
if such prefix was not explicitly specified in the source code.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @samp{-mshared} option, i386
|
|
@cindex @samp{-mshared} option, x86-64
|
|
@item -mno-shared
|
|
On ELF target, the assembler normally optimizes out non-PLT relocations
|
|
against defined non-weak global branch targets with default visibility.
|
|
The @samp{-mshared} option tells the assembler to generate code which
|
|
may go into a shared library where all non-weak global branch targets
|
|
with default visibility can be preempted. The resulting code is
|
|
slightly bigger. This option only affects the handling of branch
|
|
instructions.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @samp{-mbig-obj} option, i386
|
|
@cindex @samp{-mbig-obj} option, x86-64
|
|
@item -mbig-obj
|
|
On PE/COFF target this option forces the use of big object file
|
|
format, which allows more than 32768 sections.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @samp{-momit-lock-prefix=} option, i386
|
|
@cindex @samp{-momit-lock-prefix=} option, x86-64
|
|
@item -momit-lock-prefix=@var{no}
|
|
@itemx -momit-lock-prefix=@var{yes}
|
|
These options control how the assembler should encode lock prefix.
|
|
This option is intended as a workaround for processors, that fail on
|
|
lock prefix. This option can only be safely used with single-core,
|
|
single-thread computers
|
|
@option{-momit-lock-prefix=@var{yes}} will omit all lock prefixes.
|
|
@option{-momit-lock-prefix=@var{no}} will encode lock prefix as usual,
|
|
which is the default.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @samp{-mfence-as-lock-add=} option, i386
|
|
@cindex @samp{-mfence-as-lock-add=} option, x86-64
|
|
@item -mfence-as-lock-add=@var{no}
|
|
@itemx -mfence-as-lock-add=@var{yes}
|
|
These options control how the assembler should encode lfence, mfence and
|
|
sfence.
|
|
@option{-mfence-as-lock-add=@var{yes}} will encode lfence, mfence and
|
|
sfence as @samp{lock addl $0x0, (%rsp)} in 64-bit mode and

relocations, R_386_GOT32X, in 32-bit mode, or R_X86_64_GOTPCRELX and
|
|
R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX, in 64-bit mode.
|
|
@option{-mrelax-relocations=@var{yes}} will generate relax relocations.
|

before indirect near branch instructions.
|
|
@option{-mlfence-before-indirect-branch=@var{all}} will generate lfence
|
|
before indirect near branch via register and issue a warning before
|
|
indirect near branch via memory.
|
|
It also implicitly sets @option{-mlfence-before-ret=@var{shl}} when

@option{-mlfence-before-indirect-branch=@var{none}} will not generate
|
|
lfence nor issue warning, which is the default. Note that lfence won't
|
|
be generated before indirect near branch via register with

@item .lcomm @var{symbol} , @var{length}[, @var{alignment}]
|
|
Reserve @var{length} (an absolute expression) bytes for a local common
|
|
denoted by @var{symbol}. The section and value of @var{symbol} are
|
|
those of the new local common. The addresses are allocated in the bss
|
|
section, so that at run-time the bytes start off zeroed. Since
|
|
@var{symbol} is not declared global, it is normally not visible to
|
|
@code{@value{LD}}. The optional third parameter, @var{alignment},
|
|
specifies the desired alignment of the symbol in the bss section.
|
|
|

This directive is only available for COFF based x86 targets.

@cindex @code{largecomm} directive, ELF

|
|
except that the data is placed into the @var{.lbss} section instead of
|
|
the @var{.bss} section @ref{Comm}.
|
|
|

The directive is intended to be used for data which requires a large

@code{@value{AS}} now supports assembly using Intel assembler syntax.
|
|
@code{.intel_syntax} selects Intel mode, and @code{.att_syntax} switches
|
|
back to the usual AT&T mode for compatibility with the output of
|
|
@code{@value{GCC}}. Either of these directives may have an optional
|
|
argument, @code{prefix}, or @code{noprefix} specifying whether registers
|
|
require a @samp{%} prefix. AT&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&T register operands are preceded by @samp{%}; Intel register operands
|

are undelimited. AT&T absolute (as opposed to PC relative) jump/call

AT&T and Intel syntax use the opposite order for source and destination
|
|
operands. Intel @samp{add eax, 4} is @samp{addl $4, %eax}. The

|
@samp{source, dest} convention is maintained for compatibility with
|
|
previous Unix assemblers. Note that @samp{bound}, @samp{invlpga}, and
|

instructions with 2 immediate operands, such as the @samp{enter}
|
|

|
|
@cindex x86-64 size suffixes
|
|
@item
|
|
In AT&T syntax the size of memory operands is determined from the last
|
|
character of the instruction mnemonic. Mnemonic suffixes of @samp{b},
|
|
@samp{w}, @samp{l} and @samp{q} specify byte (8-bit), word (16-bit), long
|
|
(32-bit) and quadruple word (64-bit) memory references. Mnemonic suffixes
|
|
of @samp{x}, @samp{y} and @samp{z} specify xmm (128-bit vector), ymm
|
|
(256-bit vector) and zmm (512-bit vector) memory references, only when there's
|
|
no other way to disambiguate an instruction. Intel syntax accomplishes this by
|
|
prefixing memory operands (@emph{not} the instruction mnemonics) with
|
|
@samp{byte ptr}, @samp{word ptr}, @samp{dword ptr}, @samp{qword ptr},
|
|
@samp{xmmword ptr}, @samp{ymmword ptr} and @samp{zmmword ptr}. Thus, Intel
|
|
syntax @samp{mov al, byte ptr @var{foo}} is @samp{movb @var{foo}, %al} in AT&T
|
|
syntax. In Intel syntax, @samp{fword ptr}, @samp{tbyte ptr} and
|
|
@samp{oword ptr} specify 48-bit, 80-bit and 128-bit memory references.
|
|
|
|
In 64-bit code, @samp{movabs} can be used to encode the @samp{mov}
|
|
instruction with the 64-bit displacement or immediate operand.

@subsection Special Characters
|
|
|

@cindex line comment character, i386
|
|
@cindex i386 line comment character
|
|
The presence of a @samp{#} appearing anywhere on a line indicates the
|
|
start of a comment that extends to the end of that line.
|
|
|
|
If a @samp{#} appears as the first character of a line then the whole
|
|
line is treated as a comment, but in this case the line can also be a
|
|
logical line number directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a preprocessor
|
|
control command (@pxref{Preprocessing}).
|
|
|
|
If the @option{--divide} command-line option has not been specified
|
|
then the @samp{/} character appearing anywhere on a line also
|
|
introduces a line comment.

|
@cindex line separator, i386
|
|
@cindex statement separator, i386

@cindex instruction naming, x86-64
|
|
|
|
Instruction mnemonics are suffixed with one character modifiers which
|
|
specify the size of operands. The letters @samp{b}, @samp{w}, @samp{l}
|
|
and @samp{q} specify byte, word, long and quadruple word operands. If
|
|
no suffix is specified by an instruction then @code{@value{AS}} tries to
|
|
fill in the missing suffix based on the destination register operand
|
|
(the last one by convention). Thus, @samp{mov %ax, %bx} is equivalent
|
|
to @samp{movw %ax, %bx}; also, @samp{mov $1, %bx} is equivalent to
|
|
@samp{movw $1, bx}. Note that this is incompatible with the AT&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.)
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
@item
|
|
Instructions with an implicit on-stack operand as well as branches,
|
|
which default to quad in 64-bit mode.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
Sign- and zero-extending moves, which default to byte size source
|
|
operands.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
Floating point insns with integer operands, which default to short (for
|
|
perhaps historical reasons).
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
CRC32 with a 64-bit destination, which defaults to a quad source
|
|
operand.

@cindex i386 instruction prefixes

@cindex instruction prefixes, i386
|
|
@cindex prefixes, i386
|
|
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 ``operand size'' prefix.)
|
|
Instruction prefixes are best written on the same line as the instruction
|
|
they act upon. For example, the @samp{scas} (scan string) instruction is
|
|
repeated with:
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
repne scas %es:(%edi),%al
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
You may also place prefixes on the lines immediately preceding the
|
|
instruction, but this circumvents checks that @code{@value{AS}} does
|
|
with prefixes, and will not work with all prefixes.
|
|
|
|
Here is a list of instruction prefixes:
|
|
|
|
@cindex section override prefixes, i386
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
@item
|
|
Section override prefixes @samp{cs}, @samp{ds}, @samp{ss}, @samp{es},
|
|
@samp{fs}, @samp{gs}. These are automatically added by specifying
|
|
using the @var{section}:@var{memory-operand} form for memory references.
|
|
|
|
@cindex size prefixes, i386
|
|
@item
|
|
Operand/Address size prefixes @samp{data16} and @samp{addr16}
|
|
change 32-bit operands/addresses into 16-bit operands/addresses,
|
|
while @samp{data32} and @samp{addr32} change 16-bit ones (in a
|
|
@code{.code16} section) into 32-bit operands/addresses. These prefixes
|
|
@emph{must} appear on the same line of code as the instruction they
|
|
modify. For example, in a 16-bit @code{.code16} section, you might
|
|
write:
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
addr32 jmpl *(%ebx)
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
@cindex bus lock prefixes, i386
|
|
@cindex inhibiting interrupts, i386
|
|
@item
|
|
The bus lock prefix @samp{lock} inhibits interrupts during execution of
|
|
the instruction it precedes. (This is only valid with certain
|
|
instructions; see a 80386 manual for details).
|
|
|
|
@cindex coprocessor wait, i386
|
|
@item
|
|
The wait for coprocessor prefix @samp{wait} waits for the coprocessor to
|
|
complete the current instruction. This should never be needed for the
|
|
80386/80387 combination.
|
|
|
|
@cindex repeat prefixes, i386
|
|
@item
|
|
The @samp{rep}, @samp{repe}, and @samp{repne} prefixes are added
|
|
to string instructions to make them repeat @samp{%ecx} times (@samp{%cx}
|
|
times if the current address size is 16-bits).
|
|
@cindex REX prefixes, i386
|
|
@item
|
|
The @samp{rex} family of prefixes is used by x86-64 to encode
|
|
extensions to i386 instruction set. The @samp{rex} prefix has four
|
|
bits --- an operand size overwrite (@code{64}) used to change operand size
|
|
from 32-bit to 64-bit and X, Y and Z extensions bits used to extend the
|
|
register set.
|
|
|
|
You may write the @samp{rex} prefixes directly. The @samp{rex64xyz}
|
|
instruction emits @samp{rex} prefix with all the bits set. By omitting
|
|
the @code{64}, @code{x}, @code{y} or @code{z} 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.

@noindent
|
|
where @var{base} and @var{index} are the optional 32-bit base and
|
|
index registers, @var{disp} is the optional displacement, and
|
|
@var{scale}, taking the values 1, 2, 4, and 8, multiplies @var{index}
|
|
to calculate the address of the operand. If no @var{scale} is
|
|
specified, @var{scale} is taken to be 1. @var{section} 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&T syntax @emph{must}
|
|
be preceded by a @samp{%}. If you specify a section override which
|
|
coincides with the default section register, @code{@value{AS}} does @emph{not}
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Here are some examples of Intel and AT&T style memory references:
|
|
|
|
@table @asis
|
|
@item AT&T: @samp{-4(%ebp)}, Intel: @samp{[ebp - 4]}
|
|
@var{base} is @samp{%ebp}; @var{disp} is @samp{-4}. @var{section} is
|
|
missing, and the default section is used (@samp{%ss} for addressing with
|
|
@samp{%ebp} as the base register). @var{index}, @var{scale} are both missing.
|
|
|
|
@item AT&T: @samp{foo(,%eax,4)}, Intel: @samp{[foo + eax*4]}
|
|
@var{index} is @samp{%eax} (scaled by a @var{scale} 4); @var{disp} is
|
|
@samp{foo}. All other fields are missing. The section register here
|
|
defaults to @samp{%ds}.
|
|
|
|
@item AT&T: @samp{foo(,1)}; Intel @samp{[foo]}
|
|
This uses the value pointed to by @samp{foo} as a memory operand.
|
|
Note that @var{base} and @var{index} are both missing, but there is only
|
|
@emph{one} @samp{,}. This is a syntactic exception.
|
|
|
|
@item AT&T: @samp{%gs:foo}; Intel @samp{gs:foo}
|
|
This selects the contents of the variable @samp{foo} with section
|
|
register @var{section} being @samp{%gs}.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
Absolute (as opposed to PC relative) call and jump operands must be
|
|
prefixed with @samp{*}. If no @samp{*} is specified, @code{@value{AS}}
|
|
always chooses PC relative addressing for jump/call labels.
|
|
|
|
Any instruction that has a memory operand, but no register operand,
|
|
@emph{must} specify its size (byte, word, long, or quadruple) with an
|
|
instruction mnemonic suffix (@samp{b}, @samp{w}, @samp{l} or @samp{q},
|
|
respectively).
|
|
|
|
The x86-64 architecture adds an RIP (instruction pointer relative)
|
|
addressing. This addressing mode is specified by using @samp{rip} as a
|
|
base register. Only constant offsets are valid. For example:
|
|
|
|
@table @asis
|
|
@item AT&T: @samp{1234(%rip)}, Intel: @samp{[rip + 1234]}
|
|
Points to the address 1234 bytes past the end of the current
|
|
instruction.
|
|
|
|
@item AT&T: @samp{symbol(%rip)}, Intel: @samp{[rip + symbol]}
|
|
Points to the @code{symbol} in RIP relative way, this is shorter than
|
|
the default absolute addressing.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
Other addressing modes remain unchanged in x86-64 architecture, except
|
|
registers used are 64-bit instead of 32-bit.

@cindex x86-64 jump optimization
|
|
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 @samp{data16} instruction prefix), since the 80386
|
|
insists upon masking @samp{%eip} to 16 bits after the word displacement
|
|
is added. (See also @pxref{i386-Arch})
|
|
|
|
Note that the @samp{jcxz}, @samp{jecxz}, @samp{loop}, @samp{loopz},
|
|
@samp{loope}, @samp{loopnz} and @samp{loopne} instructions only come in byte
|
|
displacements, so that if you use these instructions (@code{@value{GCC}} does
|
|
not use them) you may get an error message (and incorrect code). The AT&T
|
|
80386 assembler tries to get around this problem by expanding @samp{jcxz foo}

corresponding instruction mnemonic suffixes are @samp{s} (short),

the 64-bit @samp{q} format is only present in the @samp{fildq} (load

requires no context switches. LWP runs in the context of a thread and

|
|
While @code{@value{AS}} normally writes only ``pure'' 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 @samp{.code16} or
|
|
@samp{.code16gcc} directive before the assembly language instructions to
|
|
be run in 16-bit mode. You can switch @code{@value{AS}} to writing
|
|
32-bit code with the @samp{.code32} directive or 64-bit code with the
|
|
@samp{.code64} directive.
|
|
|
|
@samp{.code16gcc} provides experimental support for generating 16-bit
|
|
code from gcc, and differs from @samp{.code16} in that @samp{call},
|
|
@samp{ret}, @samp{enter}, @samp{leave}, @samp{push}, @samp{pop},
|
|
@samp{pusha}, @samp{popa}, @samp{pushf}, and @samp{popf} 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.
|
|
@samp{.code16gcc} also automatically adds address size prefixes where
|
|
necessary to use the 32-bit addressing modes that gcc generates.
|
|
|
|
The code which @code{@value{AS}} 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 @emph{any} 32-bit
|
|
constructs which require @code{@value{AS}} to output address or operand
|
|
size prefixes.
|
|
|
|
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 @samp{66 6a 04}, which pushes the
|
|
value @samp{4} onto the stack, decrementing @samp{%esp} by 2.
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
pushw $4
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
The same code in a 16-bit code section would generate the machine
|
|
opcode bytes @samp{6a 04} (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.

Apart from the warning, there are only two other effects on
|
|
@code{@value{AS}} operation; Firstly, if you specify a CPU other than
|
|
@samp{i486}, then shift by one instructions such as @samp{sarl $1, %eax}
|
|
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 @samp{sarl %eax}.
|
|
Secondly, if you specify @samp{i8086}, @samp{i186}, or @samp{i286},
|
|
@emph{and} @samp{.code16} or @samp{.code16gcc} 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.
|
|
|
|
Following the CPU architecture (but not a sub-architecture, which are those
|
|
starting with a dot), you may specify @samp{jumps} or @samp{nojumps} to
|
|
control automatic promotion of conditional jumps. @samp{jumps} 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.
|
|
(@pxref{i386-Jumps}) @samp{nojumps} leaves external conditional jumps as
|
|
byte offset jumps, and warns about file-local conditional jumps that
|
|
@code{@value{AS}} promotes.
|
|
Unconditional jumps are treated as for @samp{jumps}.

@section AT&T Syntax bugs
|
|
|
|
The UnixWare assembler, and probably other AT&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're stuck
|
|
with it.
|
|
|
|
For example
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
fsub %st,%st(3)
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
@noindent
|
|
results in @samp{%st(3)} being updated to @samp{%st - %st(3)} rather
|
|
than the expected @samp{%st(3) - %st}. This happens with all the
|
|
non-commutative arithmetic floating point operations with two register
|
|
operands where the source register is @samp{%st} and the destination
|
|
register is @samp{%st(i)}.

@cindex @code{imul} instruction, x86-64
|
|
There is some trickery concerning the @samp{mul} and @samp{imul}
|
|
instructions that deserves mention. The 16-, 32-, 64- and 128-bit expanding
|
|
multiplies (base opcode @samp{0xf6}; extension 4 for @samp{mul} and 5
|
|
for @samp{imul}) can be output only in the one operand form. Thus,
|
|
@samp{imul %ebx, %eax} does @emph{not} select the expanding multiply;
|
|
the expanding multiply would clobber the @samp{%edx} register, and this
|
|
would confuse @code{@value{GCC}} output. Use @samp{imul %ebx} to get the
|
|
64-bit product in @samp{%edx:%eax}.
|
|
|
|
We have added a two operand form of @samp{imul} when the first operand
|
|
is an immediate mode expression and the second operand is a register.
|
|
This is just a shorthand, so that, multiplying @samp{%eax} by 69, for
|
|
example, can be done with @samp{imul $69, %eax} rather than @samp{imul
|
|
$69, %eax, %eax}.
