+The Mitsubishi D10V version of @code{@value{AS}} has a few machine
+dependent options.
+
+@table @samp
+@item -O
+The D10V can often execute two sub-instructions in parallel. When this option
+is used, @code{@value{AS}} will attempt to optimize its output by detecting when
+instructions can be executed in parallel.
+@item --nowarnswap
+To optimize execution performance, @code{@value{AS}} will sometimes swap the
+order of instructions. Normally this generates a warning. When this option
+is used, no warning will be generated when instructions are swapped.
+@end table

+@subsection Size Modifiers
+@cindex D10V size modifiers
+@cindex size modifiers, D10V
+The D10V version of @code{@value{AS}} uses the instruction names in the D10V
+Architecture Manual. However, the names in the manual are sometimes ambiguous.
+There are instruction names that can assemble to a short or long form opcode.
+How does the assembler pick the correct form? @code{@value{AS}} will always pick the
+smallest form if it can. When dealing with a symbol that is not defined yet when a
+line is being assembled, it will always use the long form. If you need to force the
+assembler to use either the short or long form of the instruction, you can append
+either @samp{.s} (short) or @samp{.l} (long) to it. For example, if you are writing
+an assembly program and you want to do a branch to a symbol that is defined later
+in your program, you can write @samp{bra.s foo}.
+Objdump and GDB will always append @samp{.s} or @samp{.l} to instructions which
+have both short and long forms.
+
+@node D10V-Subs
+@subsection Sub-Instructions
+@cindex D10V sub-instructions
+@cindex sub-instructions, D10V
+The D10V assembler takes as input a series of instructions, either one-per-line,
+or in the special two-per-line format described in the next section. Some of these
+instructions will be short-form or sub-instructions. These sub-instructions can be packed
+into a single instruction. The assembler will do this automatically. It will also detect
+when it should not pack instructions. For example, when a label is defined, the next
+instruction will never be packaged with the previous one. Whenever a branch and link
+instruction is called, it will not be packaged with the next instruction so the return
+address will be valid. Nops are automatically inserted when necessary.
+
+If you do not want the assembler automatically making these decisions, you can control
+the packaging and execution type (parallel or sequential) with the special execution
+symbols described in the next section.
+
+@node D10V-Chars
+@subsection Special Characters
+@cindex line comment character, D10V
+@cindex D10V line comment character
+@samp{;} and @samp{#} are the line comment characters.
+@cindex sub-instruction ordering, D10V
+@cindex D10V sub-instruction ordering
+Sub-instructions may be executed in order, in reverse-order, or in parallel.
+Instructions listed in the standard one-per-line format will be executed sequentially.
+To specify the executing order, use the following symbols:
+@table @samp
+@item ->
+Sequential with instruction on the left first.
+@item <-
+Sequential with instruction on the right first.
+@item ||
+Parallel
+@end table
+The D10V syntax allows either one instruction per line, one instruction per line with
+the execution symbol, or two instructions per line. For example
+@table @code
+@item abs a1 -> abs r0
+Execute these sequentially. The instruction on the right is in the right
+container and is executed second.
+@item abs r0 <- abs a1
+Execute these reverse-sequentially. The instruction on the right is in the right
+container, and is executed first.
+@item ld2w r2,@@r8+ || mac a0,r0,r7
+Execute these in parallel.
+@item ld2w r2,@@r8+ ||
+@itemx mac a0,r0,r7
+Two-line format. Execute these in parallel.
+@item ld2w r2,@@r8+
+@itemx mac a0,r0,r7
+Two-line format. Execute these sequentially. Assembler will
+put them in the proper containers.
+@item ld2w r2,@@r8+ ->
+@itemx mac a0,r0,r7
+Two-line format. Execute these sequentially. Same as above but
+second instruction will always go into right container.
+@end table
+@cindex symbol names, @samp{$} in
+@cindex @code{$} in symbol names
+Since @samp{$} has no special meaning, you may use it in symbol names.
+
+@node D10V-Regs
+@subsection Register Names
+@cindex D10V registers
+@cindex registers, D10V
+You can use the predefined symbols @samp{r0} through @samp{r15} to refer to the D10V
+registers. You can also use @samp{sp} as an alias for @samp{r15}. The accumulators
+are @samp{a0} and @samp{a1}. There are special register-pair names that may
+optionally be used in opcodes that require even-numbered registers. Register names are
+not case sensitive.
+
+Register Pairs
+@table @code
+@item r0-r1

+@item r8-r9
+@item r10-r11
+@item r12-r13
+@item r14-r15

+
+The D10V also has predefined symbols for these control registers and status bits:
+@table @code
+@item psw
+Processor Status Word
+@item bpsw
+Backup Processor Status Word
+@item pc
+Program Counter
+@item bpc
+Backup Program Counter
+@item rpt_c

+@item iba

+@cindex D10V addressing modes
+@code{@value{AS}} understands the following addressing modes for the D10V.
+@code{R@var{n}} in the following refers to any of the numbered
+registers, but @emph{not} the control registers.
+@table @code
+@item R@var{n}
+Register direct
+@item @@R@var{n}

+@item @@R@var{n}+

+@item @@-SP

+@item @@(@var{disp}, R@var{n})
+Register indirect with displacement
+@item @var{addr}
+PC relative address (for branch or rep).
+@item #@var{imm}
+Immediate data (the @samp{#} is optional and ignored)

+
+@node D10V-Word
+@subsection @@WORD Modifier
+@cindex D10V @@word modifier
+@cindex @@word modifier, D10V
+Any symbol followed by @code{@@word} will be replaced by the symbol's value
+shifted right by 2. This is used in situations such as loading a register
+with the address of a function (or any other code fragment). For example, if
+you want to load a register with the location of the function @code{main} then
+jump to that function, you could do it as follws:
+@smallexample
+@group
+ldi r2, main@@word

+The D10V has no hardware floating point, but the @code{.float} and @code{.double}
+directives generates @sc{ieee} floating-point numbers for compatibility
+with other development tools.
