Use one of the @samp{-A} options to select one of the SPARC
architectures explicitly. If you select an architecture explicitly,
@code{@value{AS}} reports a fatal error if it encounters an instruction
xmpmul, xmontmul and xmontsqr instructions, as well as the instructions
enabled by @samp{-Av8plusv} and @samp{-Av9v}.
+@samp{-Av8plusm8} and @samp{-Av9m8} enable the instructions introduced
+in the Oracle SPARC Architecture 2017 and the M8 processor, as
+well as the instructions enabled by @samp{-Av8plusm} and @samp{-Av9m}.
+
@samp{-Asparc} specifies a v9 environment. It is equivalent to
@samp{-Av9} if the word size is 64-bit, and @samp{-Av8plus} otherwise.
@samp{-Asparc5} is equivalent to @samp{-Av9m}.
+@samp{-Asparc6} is equivalent to @samp{-Av9m8}.

@item -bump
Warn whenever it is necessary to switch to another level.
Select the word size, either 32 bits or 64 bits.
These options are only available with the ELF object file format,
and require that the necessary BFD support has been included.
+
+@item --dcti-couples-detect
+Warn if a DCTI (delayed control transfer instruction) couple is found
+when generating code for a variant of the SPARC architecture in which
+the execution of the couple is unpredictable, or very slow. This is
+disabled by default.

@node Sparc-Aligned-Data
or quad numbered accesses are allowed. For example, @samp{%f34}
is a legal floating point register, but @samp{%f35} is not.
+Floating point registers accessed as double can also be referred using
+the @samp{%d@var{n}} notation, where @var{n} is even. Similarly,
+floating point registers accessed as quad can be referred using the
+@samp{%q@var{n}} notation, where @var{n} is a multiple of 4. For
+example, @samp{%f4} can be denoted as both @samp{%d4} and @samp{%q4}.
+On the other hand, @samp{%f2} can be denoted as @samp{%d2} but not as
+@samp{%q2}.
+
Certain V9 instructions allow access to ancillary state registers.
Most simply they can be referred to as @samp{%asr@var{n}} where
@var{n} can be from 16 to 31. However, there are some aliases
specification of which set of integer condition codes to
test. These are referred to as @samp{%xcc} and @samp{%icc}.
+Additionally, GAS supports the so-called ``natural'' condition codes;
+these are referred to as @samp{%ncc} and reference to @samp{%icc} if
+the word size is 32, @samp{%xcc} if the word size is 64.
+
In V9, there are 4 sets of floating point condition codes
which are referred to as @samp{%fcc@var{n}}.
