@cindex options for IA-64
@table @option
@cindex @code{-mconstant-gp} command line option, IA-64
@item -mconstant-gp
This option instructs the assembler to mark the resulting object file
as using the ``constant GP'' model. With this model, it is assumed
that the entire program uses a single global pointer (GP) value. Note
that this option does not in any fashion affect the machine code
emitted by the assembler. All it does is turn on the EF_IA_64_CONS_GP
flag in the ELF file header.
@item -mauto-pic
This option instructs the assembler to mark the resulting object file
as using the ``constant GP without function descriptor'' data model.
This model is like the ``constant GP'' model, except that it
additionally does away with function descriptors. What this means is
that the address of a function refers directly to the function's code
entry-point. Normally, such an address would refer to a function
descriptor, which contains both the code entry-point and the GP-value
needed by the function. Note that this option does not in any fashion
affect the machine code emitted by the assembler. All it does is
turn on the EF_IA_64_NOFUNCDESC_CONS_GP flag in the ELF file header.
@item -milp32
@item -milp64
@item -mlp64
@item -mp64
These options select the data model. The assembler defaults to @code{-mlp64}
(LP64 data model).
@item -mle
@item -mbe
These options select the byte order. The @code{-mle} option selects little-endian
byte order (default) and @code{-mbe} selects big-endian byte order. Note that
IA-64 machine code always uses little-endian byte order.
@item -mtune=itanium1
@item -mtune=itanium2
Tune for a particular IA-64 CPU, @var{itanium1} or @var{itanium2}. The
default is @var{itanium2}.
@item -munwind-check=warning
@item -munwind-check=error
These options control what the assembler will do when performing
consistency checks on unwind directives. @code{-munwind-check=warning}
will make the assembler issue a warning when an unwind directive check
fails. This is the default. @code{-munwind-check=error} will make the
assembler issue an error when an unwind directive check fails.
@item -mhint.b=ok
@item -mhint.b=warning
@item -mhint.b=error
These options control what the assembler will do when the @samp{hint.b}
instruction is used. @code{-mhint.b=ok} will make the assembler accept
@samp{hint.b}. @code{-mint.b=warning} will make the assembler issue a
warning when @samp{hint.b} is used. @code{-mhint.b=error} will make
the assembler treat @samp{hint.b} as an error, which is the default.
@item -x
@item -xexplicit
These options turn on dependency violation checking.
@item -xauto
This option instructs the assembler to automatically insert stop bits where necessary
to remove dependency violations. This is the default mode.
@item -xnone
This option turns off dependency violation checking.
@item -xdebug
This turns on debug output intended to help tracking down bugs in the dependency
violation checker.
@item -xdebugn
This is a shortcut for -xnone -xdebug.
@item -xdebugx
This is a shortcut for -xexplicit -xdebug.

@cindex IA-64 Syntax
@node IA-64 Syntax
@section Syntax
The assembler syntax closely follows the IA-64 Assembly Language
Reference Guide.

@c * IA-64-Relocs:: Relocations // to be written
@end menu
@node IA-64-Chars
@subsection Special Characters
@cindex line comment character, IA-64
@cindex IA-64 line comment character
@samp{//} is the line comment token.
@cindex line separator, IA-64
@cindex statement separator, IA-64
@cindex IA-64 line separator
@samp{;} can be used instead of a newline to separate statements.
@node IA-64-Regs
@subsection Register Names
@cindex IA-64 registers
@cindex register names, IA-64
The 128 integer registers are referred to as @samp{r@var{n}}.
The 128 floating-point registers are referred to as @samp{f@var{n}}.
The 128 application registers are referred to as @samp{ar@var{n}}.
The 128 control registers are referred to as @samp{cr@var{n}}.
The 64 one-bit predicate registers are referred to as @samp{p@var{n}}.
The 8 branch registers are referred to as @samp{b@var{n}}.
In addition, the assembler defines a number of aliases:
@samp{gp} (@samp{r1}), @samp{sp} (@samp{r12}), @samp{rp} (@samp{b0}),
@samp{ret0} (@samp{r8}), @samp{ret1} (@samp{r9}), @samp{ret2} (@samp{r10}),
@samp{ret3} (@samp{r9}), @samp{farg@var{n}} (@samp{f8+@var{n}}), and
@samp{fret@var{n}} (@samp{f8+@var{n}}).
For convenience, the assembler also defines aliases for all named application
and control registers. For example, @samp{ar.bsp} refers to the register
backing store pointer (@samp{ar17}). Similarly, @samp{cr.eoi} refers to
the end-of-interrupt register (@samp{cr67}).
@node IA-64-Bits
@subsection IA-64 Processor-Status-Register (PSR) Bit Names
@cindex IA-64 Processor-status-Register bit names
@cindex PSR bits
@cindex bit names, IA-64
The assembler defines bit masks for each of the bits in the IA-64
processor status register. For example, @samp{psr.ic} corresponds to
a value of 0x2000. These masks are primarily intended for use with
the @samp{ssm}/@samp{sum} and @samp{rsm}/@samp{rum}
instructions, but they can be used anywhere else where an integer
constant is expected.
