27 @cindex options, M680x0
28 @cindex M680x0 options
29 The Motorola 680x0 version of @code{@value{AS}} has a few machine
32 @cindex @samp{-l} option, M680x0
33 You can use the @samp{-l} option to shorten the size of references to undefined
34 symbols. If you do not use the @samp{-l} option, references to undefined
35 symbols are wide enough for a full @code{long} (32 bits). (Since
36 @code{@value{AS}} cannot know where these symbols end up, @code{@value{AS}} can
37 only allocate space for the linker to fill in later. Since @code{@value{AS}}
38 does not know how far away these symbols are, it allocates as much space as it
39 can.) If you use this option, the references are only one word wide (16 bits).
40 This may be useful if you want the object file to be as small as possible, and
41 you know that the relevant symbols are always less than 17 bits away.
43 @cindex @samp{--register-prefix-optional} option, M680x0
44 For some configurations, especially those where the compiler normally
45 does not prepend an underscore to the names of user variables, the
46 assembler requires a @samp{%} before any use of a register name. This
47 is intended to let the assembler distinguish between C variables and
48 functions named @samp{a0} through @samp{a7}, and so on. The @samp{%} is
49 always accepted, but is not required for certain configurations, notably
50 @samp{sun3}. The @samp{--register-prefix-optional} option may be used
51 to permit omitting the @samp{%} even for configurations for which it is
52 normally required. If this is done, it will generally be impossible to
53 refer to C variables and functions with the same names as register
56 @cindex @samp{--bitwise-or} option, M680x0
57 Normally the character @samp{|} is treated as a comment character, which
58 means that it can not be used in expressions. The @samp{--bitwise-or}
59 option turns @samp{|} into a normal character. In this mode, you must
60 either use C style comments, or start comments with a @samp{#} character
61 at the beginning of a line.
63 @cindex @samp{--base-size-default-16}
64 @cindex @samp{--base-size-default-32}
65 If you use an addressing mode with a base register without specifying
66 the size, @code{@value{AS}} will normally use the full 32 bit value.
67 For example, the addressing mode @samp{%a0@@(%d0)} is equivalent to
68 @samp{%a0@@(%d0:l)}. You may use the @samp{--base-size-default-16}
69 option to tell @code{@value{AS}} to default to using the 16 bit value.
70 In this case, @samp{%a0@@(%d0)} is equivalent to @samp{%a0@@(%d0:w)}.
71 You may use the @samp{--base-size-default-32} option to restore the
74 @cindex @samp{--disp-size-default-16}
75 @cindex @samp{--disp-size-default-32}
76 If you use an addressing mode with a displacement, and the value of the
77 displacement is not known, @code{@value{AS}} will normally assume that
78 the value is 32 bits. For example, if the symbol @samp{disp} has not
79 been defined, @code{@value{AS}} will assemble the addressing mode
80 @samp{%a0@@(disp,%d0)} as though @samp{disp} is a 32 bit value. You may
81 use the @samp{--disp-size-default-16} option to tell @code{@value{AS}}
82 to instead assume that the displacement is 16 bits. In this case,
83 @code{@value{AS}} will assemble @samp{%a0@@(disp,%d0)} as though
84 @samp{disp} is a 16 bit value. You may use the
85 @samp{--disp-size-default-32} option to restore the default behaviour.
87 @cindex @samp{--pcrel}
88 Always generate PC relative branches. Actually what this option really
89 does is to prevent PC relative branches from being turned into absolute
90 jumps. If this cannot be done (because the specific architecture does
91 not have a suitable PC relative branch instruction), the assembler will
92 generate an error message.
94 @cindex @samp{-m68000} and related options
95 @cindex architecture options, M680x0
96 @cindex M680x0 architecture options
97 @code{@value{AS}} can assemble code for several different members of the
98 Motorola 680x0 family. The default depends upon how @code{@value{AS}}
99 was configured when it was built; normally, the default is to assemble
100 code for the 68020 microprocessor. The following options may be used to
101 change the default. These options control which instructions and
102 addressing modes are permitted. The members of the 680x0 family are
103 very similar. For detailed information about the differences, see the
117 Assemble for the 68000. @samp{-m68008}, @samp{-m68302}, and so on are synonyms
118 for @samp{-m68000}, since the chips are the same from the point of view
122 Assemble for the 68010.
126 Assemble for the 68020. This is normally the default.
130 Assemble for the 68030.
134 Assemble for the 68040.
138 Assemble for the 68060.
151 Assemble for the CPU32 family of chips.
154 Assemble for the ColdFire family of chips.
158 Assemble 68881 floating point instructions. This is the default for the
159 68020, 68030, and the CPU32. The 68040 and 68060 always support
160 floating point instructions.
163 Do not assemble 68881 floating point instructions. This is the default
164 for 68000 and the 68010. The 68040 and 68060 always support floating
165 point instructions, even if this option is used.
168 Assemble 68851 MMU instructions. This is the default for the 68020,
169 68030, and 68060. The 68040 accepts a somewhat different set of MMU
170 instructions; @samp{-m68851} and @samp{-m68040} should not be used
174 Do not assemble 68851 MMU instructions. This is the default for the
175 68000, 68010, and the CPU32. The 68040 accepts a somewhat different set

188 @cindex size modifiers, M680x0
189 The 680x0 version of @code{@value{AS}} uses instructions names and
190 syntax compatible with the Sun assembler. Intervening periods are
191 ignored; for example, @samp{movl} is equivalent to @samp{mov.l}.
193 In the following table @var{apc} stands for any of the address registers
194 (@samp{%a0} through @samp{%a7}), the program counter (@samp{%pc}), the
195 zero-address relative to the program counter (@samp{%zpc}), a suppressed
196 address register (@samp{%za0} through @samp{%za7}), or it may be omitted
197 entirely. The use of @var{size} means one of @samp{w} or @samp{l}, and
198 it may be omitted, along with the leading colon, unless a scale is also
199 specified. The use of @var{scale} means one of @samp{1}, @samp{2},
200 @samp{4}, or @samp{8}, and it may always be omitted along with the
203 @cindex M680x0 addressing modes
204 @cindex addressing modes, M680x0
205 The following addressing modes are understood:

233 The @var{number} may be omitted.
236 @samp{@var{apc}@@(@var{number})@@(@var{onumber},@var{register}:@var{size}:@var{scale})}
238 The @var{onumber} or the @var{register}, but not both, may be omitted.
241 @samp{@var{apc}@@(@var{number},@var{register}:@var{size}:@var{scale})@@(@var{onumber})}
243 The @var{number} may be omitted. Omitting the @var{register} produces
244 the Postindex addressing mode.

254 @cindex Motorola syntax for the 680x0
255 @cindex alternate syntax for the 680x0
257 The standard Motorola syntax for this chip differs from the syntax
258 already discussed (@pxref{M68K-Syntax,,Syntax}). @code{@value{AS}} can
259 accept Motorola syntax for operands, even if @sc{mit} syntax is used for
260 other operands in the same instruction. The two kinds of syntax are
263 In the following table @var{apc} stands for any of the address registers
264 (@samp{%a0} through @samp{%a7}), the program counter (@samp{%pc}), the
265 zero-address relative to the program counter (@samp{%zpc}), or a
266 suppressed address register (@samp{%za0} through @samp{%za7}). The use
267 of @var{size} means one of @samp{w} or @samp{l}, and it may always be
268 omitted along with the leading dot. The use of @var{scale} means one of
269 @samp{1}, @samp{2}, @samp{4}, or @samp{8}, and it may always be omitted
270 along with the leading asterisk.
272 The following additional addressing modes are understood:
275 @item Address Register Indirect
276 @samp{(%a0)} through @samp{(%a7)}@*
277 @samp{%a7} is also known as @samp{%sp}, i.e. the Stack Pointer. @code{%a6}
278 is also known as @samp{%fp}, the Frame Pointer.

286 @item Indirect Plus Offset
287 @samp{@var{number}(@var{%a0})} through @samp{@var{number}(@var{%a7})},
288 or @samp{@var{number}(@var{%pc})}.
290 The @var{number} may also appear within the parentheses, as in
291 @samp{(@var{number},@var{%a0})}. When used with the @var{pc}, the
292 @var{number} may be omitted (with an address register, omitting the
293 @var{number} produces Address Register Indirect mode).
296 @samp{@var{number}(@var{apc},@var{register}.@var{size}*@var{scale})}
298 The @var{number} may be omitted, or it may appear within the
299 parentheses. The @var{apc} may be omitted. The @var{register} and the
300 @var{apc} may appear in either order. If both @var{apc} and
301 @var{register} are address registers, and the @var{size} and @var{scale}
302 are omitted, then the first register is taken as the base register, and
303 the second as the index register.
306 @samp{([@var{number},@var{apc}],@var{register}.@var{size}*@var{scale},@var{onumber})}
308 The @var{onumber}, or the @var{register}, or both, may be omitted.
309 Either the @var{number} or the @var{apc} may be omitted, but not both.
312 @samp{([@var{number},@var{apc},@var{register}.@var{size}*@var{scale}],@var{onumber})}
314 The @var{number}, or the @var{apc}, or the @var{register}, or any two of
315 them, may be omitted. The @var{onumber} may be omitted. The
316 @var{register} and the @var{apc} may appear in either order. If both
317 @var{apc} and @var{register} are address registers, and the @var{size}
318 and @var{scale} are omitted, then the first register is taken as the
319 base register, and the second as the index register.

402 @cindex M680x0 branch improvement
403 Certain pseudo opcodes are permitted for branch instructions.
404 They expand to the shortest branch instruction that reach the
405 target. Generally these mnemonics are made by substituting @samp{j} for
406 @samp{b} at the start of a Motorola mnemonic.
408 The following table summarizes the pseudo-operations. A @code{*} flags
409 cases that are more fully described after the table:

432 These are the simplest jump pseudo-operations; they always map to one
433 particular machine instruction, depending on the displacement to the
437 Here, @samp{j@var{XX}} stands for an entire family of pseudo-operations,
438 where @var{XX} is a conditional branch or condition-code test. The full
439 list of pseudo-ops in this family is:
441 jhi jls jcc jcs jne jeq jvc
442 jvs jpl jmi jge jlt jgt jle
445 For the cases of non-PC relative displacements and long displacements on
446 the 68000 or 68010, @code{@value{AS}} issues a longer code fragment in terms of
447 @var{NX}, the opposite condition to @var{XX}. For example, for the
448 non-PC relative case:
