     28 The Renesas RX port of @code{@value{AS}} has a few target specfic
     29 command line options:
     30 
     31 @table @code
     32 
     33 @cindex @samp{-m32bit-doubles}
     34 @item -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.
     38 This is the default.
     39 
     40 @cindex @samp{-m64bit-doubles}
     41 @item -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.
     45 
     46 @cindex @samp{-mbig-endian}
     47 @item -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.
     52 
     53 @cindex @samp{-mlittle-endian}
     54 @item -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.
     59 This is the default.
     60 
     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).
     65 
     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).
     70 This is the default.
     71 
     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.
     80 
     81 @cindex @samp{-mpid}
     82 @item -mpid
     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.
     88 
     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.
     94 
     95 @cindex @samp{-mgcc-abi}
     96 @item -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.
    100 
    101 @cindex @samp{-mrx-abi}
    102 @item -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.
    107 
    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.
    114 
    115 @end table
    116 
    117 @node RX-Modifiers
    118 @section Symbolic Operand Modifiers
    119 
    120 @cindex RX modifiers
    121 @cindex syntax, RX
    122 @cindex %gp
    123 
    124 The assembler supports one modifier when using symbol addresses
    125 in RX instruction operands.  The general syntax is the following:
    126 
    127 @smallexample
    128 %gp(symbol)
    129 @end smallexample
    130 
    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:
    135 
    136 @smallexample
    137   mov.W	 %gp(_foo)[%gpreg], r1
    138 @end smallexample
    139 
    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:
    143 
    144 @table @code
    145 
    146 @cindex @samp{%gpreg}
    147 @item %gpreg
    148 The small data address register.
    149 
    150 @cindex @samp{%pidreg}
    151 @item %pidreg
    152 The PID base address register.
    153 
    154 @end table
    155 
    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.

    161 @node RX-Directives
    162 @section Assembler Directives
    163 
    164 @cindex assembler directives, RX
    165 @cindex RX assembler directives
    166 
    167 The RX version of @code{@value{AS}} has the following specific
    168 assembler directives:
    169 
    170 @table @code
    171 
    172 @item .3byte
    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.
    176 
    177 @item .fetchalign
    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.
    186 
    187 @end table
    188 
    189 @node RX-Float
    190 @section Floating Point
    191 
    192 @cindex floating point, RX
    193 @cindex RX floating point
    194 
    195 The floating point formats generated by directives are these.
    196 
    197 @table @code
    198 @cindex @code{float} directive, RX
    199 
    200 @item .float
    201 @code{Single} precision (32-bit) floating point constants.
    202 
    203 @cindex @code{double} directive, RX
    204 @item .double
    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}
    210 directive instead.

    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.
    227 
    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}).
    232 
    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
    237 line.
