[\fB\-fp\-d=\fR\fI\s-1FORMAT\s0\fR] .SH "DESCRIPTION" .IX Header "DESCRIPTION" \&\s-1GNU\s0 \fBas\fR is really a family of assemblers. If you use (or have used) the \s-1GNU\s0 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 \&\fIpseudo-ops\fR) and assembler syntax. .PP \&\fBas\fR is primarily intended to assemble the output of the \&\s-1GNU C\s0 compiler \f(CW\*(C`gcc\*(C'\fR for use by the linker \&\f(CW\*(C`ld\*(C'\fR. Nevertheless, we've tried to make \fBas\fR assemble correctly everything that other assemblers for the same machine would assemble. Any exceptions are documented explicitly. This doesn't mean \fBas\fR 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. .PP Each time you run \fBas\fR it assembles exactly one source program. The source program is made up of one or more files. (The standard input is also a file.) .PP You give \fBas\fR 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. .PP If you give \fBas\fR no file names it attempts to read one input file from the \fBas\fR standard input, which is normally your terminal. You may have to type \fBctl-D\fR to tell \fBas\fR there is no more program to assemble. .PP Use \fB\-\-\fR if you need to explicitly name the standard input file in your command line. .PP If the source is empty, \fBas\fR produces a small, empty object file. .PP \&\fBas\fR may write warnings and error messages to the standard error file (usually your terminal). This should not happen when a compiler runs \fBas\fR automatically. Warnings report an assumption made so that \fBas\fR could keep assembling a flawed program; errors report a grave problem that stops the assembly. .PP If you are invoking \fBas\fR via the \s-1GNU C\s0 compiler, you can use the \fB\-Wa\fR option to pass arguments through to the assembler. The assembler arguments must be separated from each other (and the \fB\-Wa\fR) by commas. For example: .PP .Vb 1 \& gcc \-c \-g \-O \-Wa,\-alh,\-L file.c .Ve .PP This passes two options to the assembler: \fB\-alh\fR (emit a listing to standard output with high-level and assembly source) and \fB\-L\fR (retain local symbols in the symbol table). .PP Usually you do not need to use this \fB\-Wa\fR mechanism, since many compiler command-line options are automatically passed to the assembler by the compiler. (You can call the \s-1GNU\s0 compiler driver with the \fB\-v\fR option to see precisely what options it passes to each compilation pass, including the assembler.) .SH "OPTIONS" .IX Header "OPTIONS" .IP "\fB@\fR\fIfile\fR" 4 .IX Item "@file" Read command-line options from \fIfile\fR. The options read are inserted in place of the original @\fIfile\fR option. If \fIfile\fR does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated literally, and not removed. .Sp Options in \fIfile\fR are separated by whitespace. A whitespace character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included with a backslash. The \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional @\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively. .IP "\fB\-a[cdghilmns]\fR" 4 .IX Item "-a[cdghilmns]" Turn on listings, in any of a variety of ways: .RS 4 .IP "\fB\-ac\fR" 4 .IX Item "-ac" omit false conditionals .IP "\fB\-ad\fR" 4 .IX Item "-ad" omit debugging directives .IP "\fB\-ag\fR" 4 .IX Item "-ag" include general information, like as version and options passed .IP "\fB\-ah\fR" 4 .IX Item "-ah" include high-level source .IP "\fB\-al\fR" 4 .IX Item "-al" include assembly .IP "\fB\-ali\fR" 4 .IX Item "-ali" include assembly with ginsn .IP "\fB\-am\fR" 4 .IX Item "-am" include macro expansions .IP "\fB\-an\fR" 4 .IX Item "-an" omit forms processing .IP "\fB\-as\fR" 4 .IX Item "-as" include symbols .IP "\fB=file\fR" 4 .IX Item "=file" set the name of the listing file .RE .RS 4 .Sp You may combine these options; for example, use \fB\-aln\fR for assembly listing without forms processing.

The default (which can be restored by using the \fBallow\fR argument) is to allow such characters without complaint. Using the \fBwarn\fR argument will make the assembler generate a warning message whenever any multibyte character is encountered. Using the \fBwarn-sym-only\fR argument will only cause a warning to be generated when a symbol is defined with a name that contains multibyte characters.

If the input already contains some synthesizable \s-1CFI\s0 directives, the assembler ignores them and emits a warning. Note that \&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-scfi=experimental\*(C'\fR is not intended to be used for compiler-generated code, including inline assembly. This experimental support is work in progress. Only System V \s-1AMD64 ABI\s0 is supported. .Sp Each input function in assembly must begin with the \f(CW\*(C`.type\*(C'\fR directive, and should ideally be closed off using a \f(CW\*(C`.size\*(C'\fR directive.

These options only affect literals referenced via PC-relative \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions; literals for absolute mode \&\f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions are handled separately. .IP "\fB\-\-auto\-litpools | \-\-no\-auto\-litpools\fR" 4 .IX Item "--auto-litpools | --no-auto-litpools" Control the treatment of literal pools. The default is \&\fB\-\-no\-auto\-litpools\fR, which in the absence of \&\fB\-\-text\-section\-literals\fR places literals in separate sections in the output file. This allows the literal pool to be placed in a data \&\s-1RAM/ROM.\s0 With \fB\-\-auto\-litpools\fR, the literals are interspersed in the text section in order to keep them as close as possible to their references, explicit \f(CW\*(C`.literal_position\*(C'\fR directives are not required. This may be necessary for very large functions, where single literal pool at the beginning of the function may not be reachable by \&\f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions at the end. These options only affect literals referenced via PC-relative \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions; literals for absolute mode \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions are handled separately. When used together with \fB\-\-text\-section\-literals\fR, \&\fB\-\-auto\-litpools\fR takes precedence. .IP "\fB\-\-absolute\-literals | \-\-no\-absolute\-literals\fR" 4 .IX Item "--absolute-literals | --no-absolute-literals" Indicate to the assembler whether \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions use absolute or PC-relative addressing. If the processor includes the absolute addressing option, the default is to use absolute \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR relocations. Otherwise, only the PC-relative \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR relocations can be used. .IP "\fB\-\-target\-align | \-\-no\-target\-align\fR" 4 .IX Item "--target-align | --no-target-align" Enable or disable automatic alignment to reduce branch penalties at some expense in code size. This optimization is enabled by default. Note that the assembler will always align instructions like \f(CW\*(C`LOOP\*(C'\fR that have fixed alignment requirements. .IP "\fB\-\-longcalls | \-\-no\-longcalls\fR" 4 .IX Item "--longcalls | --no-longcalls" Enable or disable transformation of call instructions to allow calls across a greater range of addresses. This option should be used when call targets can potentially be out of range. It may degrade both code size and performance, but the linker can generally optimize away the unnecessary overhead when a call ends up within range. The default is \&\fB\-\-no\-longcalls\fR. .IP "\fB\-\-transform | \-\-no\-transform\fR" 4 .IX Item "--transform | --no-transform" Enable or disable all assembler transformations of Xtensa instructions, including both relaxation and optimization. The default is \&\fB\-\-transform\fR; \fB\-\-no\-transform\fR should only be used in the rare cases when the instructions must be exactly as specified in the assembly source. Using \fB\-\-no\-transform\fR causes out of range instruction operands to be errors. .IP "\fB\-\-rename\-section\fR \fIoldname\fR\fB=\fR\fInewname\fR" 4 .IX Item "--rename-section oldname=newname" Rename the \fIoldname\fR section to \fInewname\fR. This option can be used multiple times to rename multiple sections. .IP "\fB\-\-trampolines | \-\-no\-trampolines\fR" 4 .IX Item "--trampolines | --no-trampolines" Enable or disable transformation of jump instructions to allow jumps across a greater range of addresses. This option should be used when jump targets can potentially be out of range. In the absence of such jumps this option does not affect code size or performance. The default is \&\fB\-\-trampolines\fR. .IP "\fB\-\-abi\-windowed | \-\-abi\-call0\fR" 4 .IX Item "--abi-windowed | --abi-call0" Choose \s-1ABI\s0 tag written to the \f(CW\*(C`.xtensa.info\*(C'\fR section. \s-1ABI\s0 tag indicates \s-1ABI\s0 of the assembly code. A warning is issued by the linker on an attempt to link object files with inconsistent \s-1ABI\s0 tags. Default \s-1ABI\s0 is chosen by the Xtensa core configuration. .PP The following options are available when as is configured for an Z80 processor. .PP \&\f(CW@chapter\fR Z80 Dependent Features .SS "Command-line Options" .IX Subsection "Command-line Options" .IP "\fB\-march=\fR\fI\s-1CPU\s0\fR\fB[\-\fR\fI\s-1EXT\s0\fR\fB...][+\fR\fI\s-1EXT\s0\fR\fB...]\fR" 4 .IX Item "-march=CPU[-EXT...][+EXT...]" 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: \&\f(CW\*(C`z80\*(C'\fR, \&\f(CW\*(C`z180\*(C'\fR, \&\f(CW\*(C`ez80\*(C'\fR, \&\f(CW\*(C`gbz80\*(C'\fR, \&\f(CW\*(C`z80n\*(C'\fR, \&\f(CW\*(C`r800\*(C'\fR. In addition to the basic instruction set, the assembler can be told to accept some extension mnemonics. For example, \&\f(CW\*(C`\-march=z180+sli+infc\*(C'\fR extends \fIz180\fR with \fI\s-1SLI\s0\fR instructions and \&\fI\s-1IN F,\s0(C)\fR. The following extensions are currently supported: \&\f(CW\*(C`full\*(C'\fR (all known instructions), \&\f(CW\*(C`adl\*(C'\fR (\s-1ADL CPU\s0 mode by default, eZ80 only), \&\f(CW\*(C`sli\*(C'\fR (instruction known as \fI\s-1SLI\s0\fR, \fI\s-1SLL\s0\fR or \fI\s-1SL1\s0\fR), \&\f(CW\*(C`xyhl\*(C'\fR (instructions with halves of index registers: \fI\s-1IXL\s0\fR, \fI\s-1IXH\s0\fR, \&\fI\s-1IYL\s0\fR, \fI\s-1IYH\s0\fR), \&\f(CW\*(C`xdcb\*(C'\fR (instructions like \fIRotOp (II+d),R\fR and \fIBitOp n,(II+d),R\fR), \&\f(CW\*(C`infc\*(C'\fR (instruction \fI\s-1IN F,\s0(C)\fR or \fI\s-1IN\s0 (C)\fR), \&\f(CW\*(C`outc0\*(C'\fR (instruction \fI\s-1OUT\s0 (C),0\fR). Note that rather than extending a basic instruction set, the extension mnemonics starting with \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR revoke the respective functionality: \&\f(CW\*(C`\-march=z80\-full+xyhl\*(C'\fR first removes all default extensions and adds support for index registers halves only. .Sp If this option is not specified then \f(CW\*(C`\-march=z80+xyhl+infc\*(C'\fR is assumed. .IP "\fB\-local\-prefix=\fR\fIprefix\fR" 4 .IX Item "-local-prefix=prefix" Mark all labels with specified prefix as local. But such label can be marked global explicitly in the code. This option do not change default local label prefix \f(CW\*(C`.L\*(C'\fR, it is just adds new one. .IP "\fB\-colonless\fR" 4 .IX Item "-colonless" Accept colonless labels. All symbols at line begin are treated as labels. .IP "\fB\-sdcc\fR" 4 .IX Item "-sdcc" Accept assembler code produced by \s-1SDCC.\s0 .IP "\fB\-fp\-s=\fR\fI\s-1FORMAT\s0\fR" 4 .IX Item "-fp-s=FORMAT" Single precision floating point numbers format. Default: ieee754 (32 bit). .IP "\fB\-fp\-d=\fR\fI\s-1FORMAT\s0\fR" 4 .IX Item "-fp-d=FORMAT" Double precision floating point numbers format. Default: ieee754 (64 bit). .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBgcc\fR\|(1), \fBld\fR\|(1), and the Info entries for \fIbinutils\fR and \fIld\fR. .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright (c) 1991\-2024 Free Software Foundation, Inc. .PP Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the \s-1GNU\s0 Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts, and with no Back-Cover Texts.
