Converted to Texinfo conditionals; no longer need M4.

Checked makeinfo output for "all" config; other old M4 configs now sanitized
out, will be replaced by .texi configs as each config is tested.

-@section Structure of this Manual
-
-@cindex manual, structure and purpose
-This manual is intended to describe what you need to know to use
-@sc{gnu} @code{as}.  We cover the syntax expected in source files, including
-notation for symbols, constants, and expressions; the directives that
-@code{as} understands; and of course how to invoke @code{as}.
-
-This manual also describes some of the machine-dependent features of
-various flavors of the assembler.
-@refill
-
-@cindex machine instructions (not covered)
-On the other hand, this manual is @emph{not} intended as an introduction
-to programming in assembly language---let alone programming in general!
-In a similar vein, we make no attempt to introduce the machine
-architecture; we do @emph{not} describe the instruction set, standard
-mnemonics, registers or addressing modes that are standard to a
-particular architecture.  
-You may want to consult the manufacturer's
-machine architecture manual for this information.
-
-
-@c I think this is premature---pesch@cygnus.com, 17jan1991
-@ignore
-Throughout this manual, we assume that you are running @dfn{GNU},
-the portable operating system from the @dfn{Free Software
-Foundation, Inc.}.  This restricts our attention to certain kinds of
-computer (in particular, the kinds of computers that GNU can run on);
-once this assumption is granted examples and definitions need less
-qualification.
-
-@code{as} is part of a team of programs that turn a high-level
-human-readable series of instructions into a low-level
-computer-readable series of instructions.  Different versions of
-@code{as} are used for different kinds of computer.
-@end ignore
-
-@c There used to be a section "Terminology" here, which defined
-@c "contents", "byte", "word", and "long".  Defining "word" to any
-@c particular size is confusing when the .word directive may generate 16
-@c bits on one machine and 32 bits on another; in general, for the user
-@c version of this manual, none of these terms seem essential to define.
-@c They were used very little even in the former draft of the manual;
-@c this draft makes an effort to avoid them (except in names of
-@c directives).
-
-@node GNU Assembler
-@section as, the GNU Assembler
-
-GNU @code{as} is really a family of assemblers.  
-If you use (or have used) the GNU 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
-@dfn{pseudo-ops}) and assembler syntax.@refill
-
-@cindex purpose of @sc{gnu} @code{as}
-@code{as} is primarily intended to assemble the output of the GNU C
-compiler @code{gcc} for use by the linker @code{ld}.  Nevertheless,
-we've tried to make @code{as} assemble correctly everything that the native
-assembler would.
-Any exceptions are documented explicitly (@pxref{Machine Dependent}).
-This doesn't mean @code{as} 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.
-
-Unlike older assemblers, @code{as} is designed to assemble a source
-program in one pass of the source file.  This has a subtle impact on the
-@kbd{.org} directive (@pxref{Org,,@code{.org}}).
-
-@node Object Formats
-@section Object File Formats
-
-@cindex object file format
-The GNU assembler can be configured to produce several alternative
-object file formats.  For the most part, this does not affect how you
-write assembly language programs; but directives for debugging symbols
-are typically different in different file formats.  @xref{Symbol
-Attributes,,Symbol Attributes}.
-
-@node Command Line
-@section Command Line
-
-@cindex command line conventions
-After the program name @code{as}, the command line may contain
-options and file names.  Options may appear in any order, and may be
-before, after, or between file names.  The order of file names is
-significant.
-
-@cindex standard input, as input file
-@kindex --
-@file{--} (two hyphens) by itself names the standard input file
-explicitly, as one of the files for @code{as} to assemble.
-
-@cindex options, command line
-Except for @samp{--} any command line argument that begins with a
-hyphen (@samp{-}) is an option.  Each option changes the behavior of
-@code{as}.  No option changes the way another option works.  An
-option is a @samp{-} followed by one or more letters; the case of
-the letter is important.   All options are optional.
-
-Some options expect exactly one file name to follow them.  The file
-name may either immediately follow the option's letter (compatible
-with older assemblers) or it may be the next command argument (GNU
-standard).  These two command lines are equivalent:
-
-@smallexample
-as -o my-object-file.o mumble.s
-as -omy-object-file.o mumble.s
-@end smallexample
-
-@node Input Files
-@section Input Files
-
-@cindex input
-@cindex source program
-@cindex files, input
-We use the phrase @dfn{source program}, abbreviated @dfn{source}, to
-describe the program input to one run of @code{as}.  The program may
-be in one or more files; how the source is partitioned into files
-doesn't change the meaning of the source.
-
-@c I added "con" prefix to "catenation" just to prove I can overcome my
-@c APL training...   pesch@cygnus.com
-The source program is a concatenation of the text in all the files, in the
-order specified.
-
-Each time you run @code{as} it assembles exactly one source
-program.  The source program is made up of one or more files.
-(The standard input is also a file.)
-
-You give @code{as} 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.
-
-If you give @code{as} no file names it attempts to read one input file
-from the @code{as} standard input, which is normally your terminal.  You
-may have to type @key{ctl-D} to tell @code{as} there is no more program
-to assemble.
-
-Use @samp{--} if you need to explicitly name the standard input file
-in your command line.
-
-If the source is empty, @code{as} will produce a small, empty object
-file.
-
-@subheading Filenames and Line-numbers
-
-@cindex input file linenumbers
-@cindex line numbers, in input files
-There are two ways of locating a line in the input file (or files) and
-either may be used in reporting error messages.  One way refers to a line
-number in a physical file; the other refers to a line number in a
-``logical'' file.  @xref{Errors, ,Error and Warning Messages}.
-
-@dfn{Physical files} are those files named in the command line given
-to @code{as}.
-
-@dfn{Logical files} are simply names declared explicitly by assembler
-directives; they bear no relation to physical files.  Logical file names
-help error messages reflect the original source file, when @code{as}
-source is itself synthesized from other files.

-Every time you run @code{as} it produces an output file, which is
-your assembly language program translated into numbers.  This file
-is the object file, named
-@code{b.out},
-if @code{as} is configured for the Intel 80960, or
-unless you tell @code{as} to
-give it another name by using the @code{-o} option.  Conventionally,
-object file names end with @file{.o}.  The default name of
-@file{a.out} is used for historical reasons:  older assemblers were
-capable of assembling self-contained programs directly into a

-@cindex messages from @code{as}
-@code{as} may write warnings and error messages to the standard error
-file (usually your terminal).  This should not happen when  a compiler
-runs @code{as} automatically.  Warnings report an assumption made so
-that @code{as} could keep assembling a flawed program; errors report a

-(where @b{NNN} is a line number).  If a logical file name has
-been given (@pxref{App-File,,@code{.app-file}}) it is used for the
-filename, otherwise the
-name of the current input file is used.  If a logical line number was
-given
-(@pxref{Ln,,@code{.ln}})
-then it is used to calculate the number printed,

-@cindex options, all versions of @code{as}
-This chapter describes command-line options available in @emph{all}
-versions of the GNU assembler; @pxref{Machine Dependent}, for options specific
-to particular machine architectures.
-
-If you are invoking @code{as} via the GNU C compiler (version 2), you
-can use the @samp{-Wa} option to pass arguments through to the
-assembler.  The assembler arguments must be separated from each other
-(and the @samp{-Wa}) by commas.  For example:
-
-@smallexample
-gcc -c -g -O -Wa,-alh,-L file.c
-@end smallexample
-
-will cause a listing to be emitted to standard output with high-level
-and assembly source.
-
-Many compiler command-line options, such as @samp{-R} and many
-machine-specific options, will be automatically be passed to the
-assembler by the compiler, so usually you do not need to use this
-@samp{-Wa} mechanism.

-Other letters may be used to select specific options for the list:
-@samp{-ah} requests a high-level language listing,
-@samp{-al} requests an output-program assembly listing, and
-@samp{-as} requests a symbol table listing.
-High-level listings require that a compiler debugging option like
-@samp{-g} be used, and that assembly listings (@samp{-al}) be requested
-also.
-
-The @samp{-ad} option may be used to omit debugging pseudo-ops from the

-your object file is zero bytes long because all its bytes are
-appended to the text section.  (@xref{Sections,,Sections and Relocation}.)
-
-When you specify @code{-R} it would be possible to generate shorter
-address displacements (because we don't have to cross between text and
-data section).  We refrain from doing this simply for compatibility with
-older versions of @code{as}.  In future, @code{-R} may work this way.

-@section Background
-
-Roughly, a section is a range of addresses, with no gaps; all data
-``in'' those addresses is treated the same for some particular purpose.
-For example there may be a ``read only'' section.
-
-@cindex linker, and assembler
-@cindex assembler, and linker
-The linker @code{ld} reads many object files (partial programs) and
-combines their contents to form a runnable program.  When @code{as}
-emits an object file, the partial program is assumed to start at address
-0.  @code{ld} will assign the final addresses the partial program
-occupies, so that different partial programs don't overlap.  This is
-actually an over-simplification, but it will suffice to explain how
-@code{as} uses sections.
-
-@code{ld} moves blocks of bytes of your program to their run-time
-addresses.  These blocks slide to their run-time addresses as rigid
-units; their length does not change and neither does the order of bytes
-within them.  Such a rigid unit is called a @emph{section}.  Assigning
-run-time addresses to sections is called @dfn{relocation}.  It includes
-the task of adjusting mentions of object-file addresses so they refer to
-the proper run-time addresses.
-For the H8/300 and H8/500, @code{as} pads sections if needed to
-ensure they end on a word (sixteen bit) boundary.
-
-@cindex standard @code{as} sections
-An object file written by @code{as} has at least three sections, any
-of which may be empty.  These are named @dfn{text}, @dfn{data} and
-@dfn{bss} sections.  
-
-When it generates COFF output, 
-@code{as} can also generate whatever other named sections you specify
-using the @samp{.section} directive (@pxref{Section,,@code{.section}}).
-If you don't use any directives that place output in the @samp{.text}
-or @samp{.data} sections, these sections will still exist, but will be empty.
-
-Within the object file, the text section starts at address @code{0}, the
-data section follows, and the bss section follows the data section.
-
-To let @code{ld} know which data will change when the sections are
-relocated, and how to change that data, @code{as} also writes to the
-object file details of the relocation needed.  To perform relocation
-@code{ld} must know, each time an address in the object
-file is mentioned:
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-Where in the object file is the beginning of this reference to
-an address?
-@item
-How long (in bytes) is this reference?
-@item
-Which section does the address refer to?  What is the numeric value of
-@display
-(@var{address}) @minus{} (@var{start-address of section})?
-@end display
-@item
-Is the reference to an address ``Program-Counter relative''?
-@end itemize
-
-@cindex addresses, format of
-@cindex section-relative addressing
-In fact, every address @code{as} ever uses is expressed as
-@display
-(@var{section}) + (@var{offset into section})
-@end display
-@noindent
-Further, every expression @code{as} computes is of this section-relative
-nature.  @dfn{Absolute expression} means an expression with section
-``absolute'' (@pxref{ld Sections}).  A @dfn{pass1 expression} means
-an expression with section ``pass1'' (@pxref{as Sections,,as
-Internal Sections}).  In this manual we use the notation @{@var{secname}
-@var{N}@} to mean ``offset @var{N} into section @var{secname}''.
-
-Apart from text, data and bss sections you need to know about the
-@dfn{absolute} section.  When @code{ld} mixes partial programs,
-addresses in the absolute section remain unchanged.  For example, address
-@code{@{absolute 0@}} is ``relocated'' to run-time address 0 by @code{ld}.
-Although two partial programs' data sections will not overlap addresses
-after linking, @emph{by definition} their absolute sections will overlap.
-Address @code{@{absolute@ 239@}} in one partial program will always be the same
-address when the program is running as address @code{@{absolute@ 239@}} in any
-other partial program.
-
-The idea of sections is extended to the @dfn{undefined} section.  Any
-address whose section is unknown at assembly time is by definition
-rendered @{undefined @var{U}@}---where @var{U} will be filled in later.
-Since numbers are always defined, the only way to generate an undefined
-address is to mention an undefined symbol.  A reference to a named
-common block would be such a symbol: its value is unknown at assembly
-time so it has section @emph{undefined}.
-
-By analogy the word @emph{section} is used to describe groups of sections in
-the linked program.  @code{ld} puts all partial programs' text
-sections in contiguous addresses in the linked program.  It is
-customary to refer to the @emph{text section} of a program, meaning all
-the addresses of all partial program's text sections.  Likewise for
-data and bss sections.
-
-Some sections are manipulated by @code{ld}; others are invented for
-use of @code{as} and have no meaning except during assembly.
-
-@node ld Sections
-@section ld Sections
-@code{ld} deals with just four kinds of sections, summarized below.
-
-@table @strong
-
-@cindex named sections
-@cindex sections, named
-@item named sections
-@cindex text section
-@cindex data section
-@item text section
-@itemx data section
-These sections hold your program.  @code{as} and @code{ld} treat them as
-separate but equal sections.  Anything you can say of one section is
-true another.  
-When the program is running, however, it is
-customary for the text section to be unalterable.  The
-text section is often shared among processes: it will contain
-instructions, constants and the like.  The data section of a running
-program is usually alterable: for example, C variables would be stored
-in the data section.
-
-@cindex bss section
-@item bss section
-This section contains zeroed bytes when your program begins running.  It
-is used to hold unitialized variables or common storage.  The length of
-each partial program's bss section is important, but because it starts
-out containing zeroed bytes there is no need to store explicit zero
-bytes in the object file.  The bss section was invented to eliminate
-those explicit zeros from object files.
-
-@cindex absolute section
-@item absolute section
-Address 0 of this section is always ``relocated'' to runtime address 0.
-This is useful if you want to refer to an address that @code{ld} must
-not change when relocating.  In this sense we speak of absolute
-addresses being ``unrelocatable'': they don't change during relocation.
-
-@cindex undefined section
-@item undefined section
-This ``section'' is a catch-all for address references to objects not in
-the preceding sections.
-@c FIXME: ref to some other doc on obj-file formats could go here.
-@end table
-
-@cindex relocation example
-An idealized example of three relocatable sections follows.  
-The example uses the traditional section names @samp{.text} and @samp{.data}.
-Memory addresses are on the horizontal axis.

-If a number can't be written as a C @code{int} constant (a bignum or a
-flonum, but not an integer), it is recorded as belonging to this
-``section''.  @code{as} has to remember that a flonum or a bignum
-does not fit into 32 bits, and cannot be an argument (@pxref{Arguments})
-in an expression: this is done by making a flonum or bignum be in a
-separate internal section.  This is purely for internal @code{as}
-convenience; bignum/flonum section behaves similarly to absolute
-section.
-
-@item pass1 section
-@cindex pass1 (internal section)
-The expression was impossible to evaluate in the first pass.  The
-assembler will attempt a second pass (second reading of the source) to

-re-evaluates such expressions after the source file has been read and

-You may have separate groups of
-data in named sections
-that you want to end up near to each other in the object
-file, even though they are not contiguous in the assembler source.
-@code{as} allows you to use @dfn{subsections} for this purpose.
-Within each section, there can be numbered subsections with
-values from 0 to 8192.  Objects assembled into the same subsection will
-be grouped with other objects in the same subsection when they are all
-put into the object file.  For example, a compiler might want to store
-constants in the text section, but might not want to have them
-interspersed with the program being assembled.  In this case, the
-compiler could issue a @samp{.text 0} before each section of code being
-output, and a @samp{.text 1} before each group of constants being output.
-
-Subsections are optional.  If you don't use subsections, everything
-will be stored in subsection number zero.
-
-Each subsection is zero-padded up to a multiple of four bytes.
-(Subsections may be padded a different amount on different flavors
-of @code{as}.)
-
-Subsections appear in your object file in numeric order, lowest numbered
-to highest.  (All this to be compatible with other people's assemblers.)
-The object file contains no representation of subsections; @code{ld} and
-other programs that manipulate object files will see no trace of them.
-They just see all your text subsections as a text section, and all your
-data subsections as a data section.
-
-To specify which subsection you want subsequent statements assembled
-into, use a numeric argument to specify it, in a @samp{.text
-@var{expression}} or a @samp{.data @var{expression}} statement.
-When generating COFF output, you 
-can also use an extra subsection
-argument with arbitrary named sections: @samp{.section @var{name},
-@var{expression}}.
-@var{Expression} should be an absolute expression.
-(@xref{Expressions}.)  If you just say @samp{.text} then @samp{.text 0}
-is assumed.  Likewise @samp{.data} means @samp{.data 0}.  Assembly
-begins in @code{text 0}.  For instance:
-@smallexample
-.text 0     # The default subsection is text 0 anyway.
-.ascii "This lives in the first text subsection. *"
-.text 1
-.ascii "But this lives in the second text subsection."

-.ascii "This lives in the data section,"
-.ascii "in the first data subsection."
-.text 0
-.ascii "This lives in the first text section,"
-.ascii "immediately following the asterisk (*)."
-@end smallexample
-
-Each section has a @dfn{location counter} incremented by one for every
-byte assembled into that section.  Because subsections are merely a
-convenience restricted to @code{as} there is no concept of a subsection
-location counter.  There is no way to directly manipulate a location
-counter---but the @code{.align} directive will change it, and any label

-A symbol can be given an arbitrary value by writing a symbol, followed

-@cindex symbol names
-@cindex names, symbol
-Symbol names begin with a letter or with one of @samp{._}.  On most
-machines, you can also use @code{$} in symbol names; exceptions are
-noted in @ref{Machine Dependent}.  That character may be followed by any
-string of digits, letters, dollar signs (unless otherwise noted in
-@ref{Machine Dependent}), and underscores.
-Case of letters is significant: @code{foo} is a different symbol name
-than @code{Foo}.
-
-For the AMD 29K family, @samp{?} is also allowed in the
-body of a symbol name, though not at its beginning.
-
-Each symbol has exactly one name. Each name in an assembly language
-program refers to exactly one symbol. You may use that symbol name any
-number of times in a program.
-
-@subheading Local Symbol Names
-
-@cindex local symbol names
-@cindex symbol names, local
-@cindex temporary symbol names
-@cindex symbol names, temporary
-Local symbols help compilers and programmers use names temporarily.
-There are ten local symbol names, which are re-used throughout the
-program.  You may refer to them using the names @samp{0} @samp{1}
-@dots{} @samp{9}.  To define a local symbol, write a label of the form
-@samp{@b{N}:} (where @b{N} represents any digit).  To refer to the most
-recent previous definition of that symbol write @samp{@b{N}b}, using the
-same digit as when you defined the label.  To refer to the next
-definition of a local label, write @samp{@b{N}f}---where @b{N} gives you
-a choice of 10 forward references.  The @samp{b} stands for
-``backwards'' and the @samp{f} stands for ``forwards''.
-
-Local symbols are not emitted by the current GNU C compiler.
-
-There is no restriction on how you can use these labels, but
-remember that at any point in the assembly you can refer to at most
-10 prior local labels and to at most 10 forward local labels.
-
-Local symbol names are only a notation device.  They are immediately
-transformed into more conventional symbol names before the assembler
-uses them.  The symbol names stored in the symbol table, appearing in
-error messages and optionally emitted to the object file have these
-parts:
-
-@table @code
-@item L
-All local labels begin with @samp{L}. Normally both @code{as} and
-@code{ld} forget symbols that start with @samp{L}. These labels are
-used for symbols you are never intended to see.  If you give the
-@samp{-L} option then @code{as} will retain these symbols in the
-object file. If you also instruct @code{ld} to retain these symbols,
-you may use them in debugging.
-
-@item @var{digit}
-If the label is written @samp{0:} then the digit is @samp{0}.
-If the label is written @samp{1:} then the digit is @samp{1}.
-And so on up through @samp{9:}.
-
-@item @ctrl{A}
-This unusual character is included so you don't accidentally invent
-a symbol of the same name.  The character has ASCII value
-@samp{\001}.
-
-@item @emph{ordinal number}
-This is a serial number to keep the labels distinct.  The first
-@samp{0:} gets the number @samp{1}; The 15th @samp{0:} gets the
-number @samp{15}; @emph{etc.}.  Likewise for the other labels @samp{1:}
-through @samp{9:}.
-@end table
-
-For instance, the first @code{1:} is named @code{L1@ctrl{A}1}, the 44th
-@code{3:} is named @code{L3@ctrl{A}44}.

-@section The Special Dot Symbol

-@cindex dot (symbol)
-@cindex @code{.} (symbol)
-@cindex current address
-@cindex location counter
-The special symbol @samp{.} refers to the current address that
-@code{as} is assembling into.  Thus, the expression @samp{melvin:
-.long .} will cause @code{melvin} to contain its own address.
-Assigning a value to @code{.} is treated the same as a @code{.org}
-directive.  Thus, the expression @samp{.=.+4} is the same as saying
-@samp{.block 4}.

-Every symbol has, as well as its name, the attributes ``Value'' and
-``Type''.  Depending on output format, symbols can also have auxiliary
-attributes. 
-
-If you use a symbol without defining it, @code{as} assumes zero for
-all these attributes, and probably won't warn you.  This makes the
-symbol an externally defined symbol, which is generally what you
-would want.

-@subsection Value
-
-@cindex value of a symbol
-@cindex symbol value
-The value of a symbol is (usually) 32 bits.  For a symbol which labels a
-location in the text, data, bss or absolute sections the value is the
-number of addresses from the start of that section to the label.
-Naturally for text, data and bss sections the value of a symbol changes
-as @code{ld} changes section base addresses during linking.  Absolute
-symbols' values do not change during linking: that is why they are
-called absolute.
-
-The value of an undefined symbol is treated in a special way.  If it is
-0 then the symbol is not defined in this assembler source program, and
-@code{ld} will try to determine its value from other programs it is
-linked with.  You make this kind of symbol simply by mentioning a symbol
-name without defining it.  A non-zero value represents a @code{.comm}
-common declaration.  The value is how much common storage to reserve, in
-bytes (addresses).  The symbol refers to the first address of the
-allocated storage.
-
-@node Symbol Type
-@subsection Type
-
-@cindex type of a symbol
-@cindex symbol type
-The type attribute of a symbol contains relocation (section)
-information, any flag settings indicating that a symbol is external, and
-(optionally), other information for linkers and debuggers.  The exact
-format depends on the object-code output format in use.

-@subsection Symbol Attributes for COFF
-
-@cindex COFF symbol attributes
-@cindex symbol attributes, COFF
-
-The COFF format supports a multitude of auxiliary symbol attributes;
-like the primary symbol attributes, they are set between @code{.def} and
-@code{.endef} directives.  
-
-@subsubsection Primary Attributes
-
-@cindex primary attributes, COFF symbols
-The symbol name is set with @code{.def}; the value and type,
-respectively, with @code{.val} and @code{.type}.

-@cindex expression arguments
-@cindex arguments in expressions
-@cindex operands in expressions
-@cindex arithmetic operands
-@dfn{Arguments} are symbols, numbers or subexpressions.  In other
-contexts arguments are sometimes called ``arithmetic operands''.  In
-this manual, to avoid confusing them with the ``instruction operands'' of
-the machine language, we use the term ``argument'' to refer to parts of
-expressions only, reserving the word ``operand'' to refer only to machine
-instruction operands.
-
-Symbols are evaluated to yield @{@var{section} @var{NNN}@} where
-@var{section} is one of text, data, bss, absolute,
-or undefined.  @var{NNN} is a signed, 2's complement 32 bit
-integer.
-
-Numbers are usually integers.
-
-A number can be a flonum or bignum.  In this case, you are warned
-that only the low order 32 bits are used, and @code{as} pretends
-these 32 bits are an integer.  You may write integer-manipulating
-instructions that act on exotic constants, compatible with other
-assemblers.
-
-@cindex subexpressions
-Subexpressions are a left parenthesis @samp{(} followed by an integer
-expression, followed by a right parenthesis @samp{)}; or a prefix
-operator followed by an argument.

-@cindex @code{abort} directive
-@cindex stopping the assembly
-This directive stops the assembly immediately.  It is for
-compatibility with other assemblers.  The original idea was that the

-@cindex padding the location counter
-@cindex @code{align} directive
-Pad the location counter (in the current subsection) to a particular
-storage boundary.  The first expression (which must be absolute) is the
-number of low-order zero bits the location counter will have after
-advancement.  For example @samp{.align 3} will advance the location
-counter until it a multiple of 8.  If the location counter is already a
-multiple of 8, no change is needed.

-
-@node Comm
-@section @code{.comm @var{symbol} , @var{length} }
-
-@cindex @code{comm} directive
-@cindex symbol, common
-@code{.comm} declares a named common area in the bss section.  Normally
-@code{ld} reserves memory addresses for it during linking, so no partial
-program defines the location of the symbol.  Use @code{.comm} to tell
-@code{ld} that it must be at least @var{length} bytes long.  @code{ld}
-will allocate space for each @code{.comm} symbol that is at least as

-@cindex @code{desc} directive
-@cindex COFF symbol descriptor
-@cindex symbol descriptor, COFF
-This directive sets the descriptor of the symbol (@pxref{Symbol Attributes})
-to the low 16 bits of an absolute expression.
-
-The @samp{.desc} directive is not available when @code{as} is
-configured for COFF output; it is only for @code{a.out} or @code{b.out}
-object format.  For the sake of compatibility, @code{as} will accept
-it, but produce no output, when configured for COFF.

-@node Dim
-@section @code{.dim}
-
-@cindex @code{dim} directive
-@cindex COFF auxiliary symbol information
-@cindex auxiliary symbol information, COFF
-This directive is generated by compilers to include auxiliary debugging
-information in the symbol table.  It is only permitted inside
-@code{.def}/@code{.endef} pairs.

-This directive sets the value of @var{symbol} to @var{expression}.
-It is synonymous with @samp{.set}; @pxref{Set,,@code{.set}}.
-
-@node Extern
-@section @code{.extern}
-
-@cindex @code{extern} directive
-@code{.extern} is accepted in the source program---for compatibility
-with other assemblers---but it is ignored.  @code{as} treats
-all undefined symbols as external.
-
-@node File
-@section @code{.file @var{string}}
-
-@cindex @code{file} directive
-@cindex logical file name
-@cindex file name, logical
-@code{.file} (which may also be spelled @samp{.app-file}) tells
-@code{as} that we are about to start a new logical file.
-@var{string} is the new file name.  In general, the filename is
-recognized whether or not it is surrounded by quotes @samp{"}; but if
-you wish to specify an empty file name, you must give the
-quotes--@code{""}.  This statement may go away in future: it is only
-recognized to be compatible with old @code{as} programs.
-In some configurations of @code{as}, @code{.file} has already been
-removed to avoid conflicts with other assemblers.  @xref{Machine Dependent}.
-
-@node Fill
-@section @code{.fill @var{repeat} , @var{size} , @var{value}}
-
-@cindex @code{fill} directive
-@cindex writing patterns in memory
-@cindex patterns, writing in memory
-@var{result}, @var{size} and @var{value} are absolute expressions.
-This emits @var{repeat} copies of @var{size} bytes.  @var{Repeat}
-may be zero or more.  @var{Size} may be zero or more, but if it is
-more than 8, then it is deemed to have the value 8, compatible with
-other people's assemblers.  The contents of each @var{repeat} bytes
-is taken from an 8-byte number.  The highest order 4 bytes are
-zero.  The lowest order 4 bytes are @var{value} rendered in the
-byte-order of an integer on the computer @code{as} is assembling for.
-Each @var{size} bytes in a repetition is taken from the lowest order
-@var{size} bytes of this number.  Again, this bizarre behavior is
-compatible with other people's assemblers.
-
-@var{size} and @var{value} are optional.

-In order to assemble compiler output into something that will work,

-directive of the form @samp{.word sym1-sym2}, and the difference between
-@code{sym1} and @code{sym2} does not fit in 16 bits, @code{as} will
-create a @dfn{secondary jump table}, immediately before the next label.
-This secondary jump table will be preceded by a short-jump to the
-first byte after the secondary table.  This short-jump prevents the flow
-of control from accidentally falling into the new table.  Inside the
-table will be a long-jump to @code{sym2}.  The original @samp{.word}
-will contain @code{sym1} minus the address of the long-jump to
-@code{sym2}.
-
-If there were several occurrences of @samp{.word sym1-sym2} before the
-secondary jump table, all of them will be adjusted.  If there was a
-@samp{.word sym3-sym4}, that also did not fit in sixteen bits, a
-long-jump to @code{sym4} will be included in the secondary jump table,
-and the @code{.word} directives will be adjusted to contain @code{sym3}

-@cindex machine dependencies
-The machine instruction sets are (almost by definition) different on
-each machine where @code{as} runs.  Floating point representations
-vary as well, and @code{as} often supports a few additional
-directives or command-line options for compatibility with other
-assemblers on a particular platform.  Finally, some versions of
-@code{as} support special pseudo-instructions for branch
-optimization.
-
-This chapter discusses most of these differences, though it does not
-include details on any machine's instruction set.  For details on that
-subject, see the hardware manufacturer's manual.

-fast) but have a limited range; others are long (and slow) but
-can branch anywhere in virtual memory.  Often there are 3

-@kbd{-h} option prevents @code{as} from modifying the
-symbol-table entries for symbols that contain lowercase
-characters (I think).  The @kbd{-+} option causes @code{as} to
-print warning messages if the FILENAME part of the object file,
-or any symbol name is larger than 31 characters.  The @kbd{-+}
-option also insertes some code following the @samp{_main}
-symbol so that the object file will be compatible with Vax-11

-General-purpose registers are represented by predefined symbols of the
-form @samp{GR@var{nnn}} (for global registers) or @samp{LR@var{nnn}}
-(for local registers), where @var{nnn} represents a number between
-@code{0} and @code{127}, written with no leading zeros.  The leading
-letters may be in either upper or lower case; for example, @samp{gr13}
-and @samp{LR7} are both valid register names.
-
-You may also refer to general-purpose registers by specifying the
-register number as the result of an expression (prefixed with @samp{%%}
-to flag the expression as a register number):
-@smallexample
-%%@var{expression}
-@end smallexample
-@noindent
----where @var{expression} must be an absolute expression evaluating to a

-@cindex size suffixes, H8/300
-@cindex H8/300 size suffixes
-Four H8/300 instructions (@code{add}, @code{cmp}, @code{mov},
-@code{sub}) are defined with variants using the suffixes @samp{.b} and
-@samp{.w} to specify the size of a memory operand.  @code{as}
-supports these suffixes, but does not require them; since one of the
-operands is always a register, @code{as} can deduce the correct size.
-
-For example, since @code{r0} refers to a 16-bit register, 
-@example
-mov    r0,@@foo
-@exdent is equivalent to
-mov.w  r0,@@foo
-@end example
-
-If you use the size suffixes, @code{as} will issue a warning if
-there's a mismatch between the suffix and the register size.

-@cindex M680x0 options
-The Motorola 680x0 version of @code{as} has two machine dependent options.
-One shortens undefined references from 32 to 16 bits, while the
-other is used to tell @code{as} what kind of machine it is
-assembling for.
-
-@cindex @code{-l} option, M680x0
-You can use the @kbd{-l} option to shorten the size of references to
-undefined symbols.  If the @kbd{-l} option is not given, references to
-undefined symbols will be a full long (32 bits) wide.  (Since @code{as}
-cannot know where these symbols will end up, @code{as} can only allocate
-space for the linker to fill in later.  Since @code{as} doesn't know how
-far away these symbols will be, it allocates as much space as it can.)
-If this option is given, the references will only be one word wide (16
-bits).  This may be useful if you want the object file to be as small as
-possible, and you know that the relevant symbols will be less than 17
-bits away.

-@samp{-m68000}, @samp{-mc68000}, @samp{-m68010}, @samp{-mc68010},

-@subsection AT&T Syntax versus Intel Syntax
-
-@cindex i386 syntax compatibility
-@cindex syntax compatibility, i386
-In order to maintain compatibility with the output of @code{gcc},
-@code{as} supports AT&T System V/386 assembler syntax.  This is quite
-different from Intel syntax.  We mention these differences because
-almost all 80386 documents used only Intel syntax.  Notable differences
-between the two syntaxes are:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-@cindex immediate operands, i386
-@cindex i386 immediate operands
-@cindex register operands, i386
-@cindex i386 register operands
-@cindex jump/call operands, i386
-@cindex i386 jump/call operands
-@cindex operand delimiters, i386
-AT&T immediate operands are preceded by @samp{$}; Intel immediate
-operands are undelimited (Intel @samp{push 4} is AT&T @samp{pushl $4}).
-AT&T register operands are preceded by @samp{%}; Intel register operands
-are undelimited.  AT&T absolute (as opposed to PC relative) jump/call
-operands are prefixed by @samp{*}; they are undelimited in Intel syntax.
-
-@item
-@cindex i386 source, destination operands
-@cindex source, destination operands; i386
-AT&T and Intel syntax use the opposite order for source and destination
-operands.  Intel @samp{add eax, 4} is @samp{addl $4, %eax}.  The
-@samp{source, dest} convention is maintained for compatibility with
-previous Unix assemblers.
-
-@item
-@cindex opcode suffixes, i386
-@cindex sizes operands, i386
-@cindex i386 size suffixes
-In AT&T syntax the size of memory operands is determined from the last
-character of the opcode name.  Opcode suffixes of @samp{b}, @samp{w},
-and @samp{l} specify byte (8-bit), word (16-bit), and long (32-bit)
-memory references.  Intel syntax accomplishes this by prefixes memory
-operands (@emph{not} the opcodes themselves) with @samp{byte ptr},
-@samp{word ptr}, and @samp{dword ptr}.  Thus, Intel @samp{mov al, byte
-ptr @var{foo}} is @samp{movb @var{foo}, %al} in AT&T syntax.
-
-@item
-@cindex return instructions, i386
-@cindex i386 jump, call, return
-Immediate form long jumps and calls are
-@samp{lcall/ljmp $@var{section}, $@var{offset}} in AT&T syntax; the
-Intel syntax is
-@samp{call/jmp far @var{section}:@var{offset}}.  Also, the far return
-instruction
-is @samp{lret $@var{stack-adjust}} in AT&T syntax; Intel syntax is
-@samp{ret far @var{stack-adjust}}.
-
-@item
-@cindex sections, i386
-@cindex i386 sections
-The AT&T assembler does not provide support for multiple section
-programs.  Unix style systems expect all programs to be single sections.
-@end itemize
-
-@node i386-Opcodes
-@subsection Opcode Naming
-
-@cindex i386 opcode naming
-@cindex opcode naming, i386
-Opcode names are suffixed with one character modifiers which specify the
-size of operands.  The letters @samp{b}, @samp{w}, and @samp{l} specify
-byte, word, and long operands.  If no suffix is specified by an
-instruction and it contains no memory operands then @code{as} tries to
-fill in the missing suffix based on the destination register operand
-(the last one by convention).  Thus, @samp{mov %ax, %bx} is equivalent
-to @samp{movw %ax, %bx}; also, @samp{mov $1, %bx} is equivalent to
-@samp{movw $1, %bx}.  Note that this is incompatible with the AT&T Unix
-assembler which assumes that a missing opcode suffix implies long
-operand size.  (This incompatibility does not affect compiler output
-since compilers always explicitly specify the opcode suffix.)
-
-Almost all opcodes have the same names in AT&T and Intel format.  There
-are a few exceptions.  The sign extend and zero extend instructions need
-two sizes to specify them.  They need a size to sign/zero extend
-@emph{from} and a size to zero extend @emph{to}.  This is accomplished
-by using two opcode suffixes in AT&T syntax.  Base names for sign extend
-and zero extend are @samp{movs@dots{}} and @samp{movz@dots{}} in AT&T
-syntax (@samp{movsx} and @samp{movzx} in Intel syntax).  The opcode
-suffixes are tacked on to this base name, the @emph{from} suffix before
-the @emph{to} suffix.  Thus, @samp{movsbl %al, %edx} is AT&T syntax for
-``move sign extend @emph{from} %al @emph{to} %edx.''  Possible suffixes,
-thus, are @samp{bl} (from byte to long), @samp{bw} (from byte to word),
-and @samp{wl} (from word to long).

-@subsection Opcode Prefixes
-
-@cindex i386 opcode prefixes
-@cindex opcode prefixes, i386
-@cindex prefixes, i386
-Opcode prefixes are used to modify the following opcode.  They are used
-to repeat string instructions, to provide section overrides, to perform
-bus lock operations, and to give operand and address size (16-bit
-operands are specified in an instruction by prefixing what would
-normally be 32-bit operands with a ``operand size'' opcode prefix).
-Opcode prefixes are usually given as single-line instructions with no
-operands, and must directly precede the instruction they act upon.  For
-example, the @samp{scas} (scan string) instruction is repeated with:
-@smallexample
-        repne
-        scas
-@end smallexample
-
-Here is a list of opcode prefixes:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-@cindex section override prefixes, i386
-Section override prefixes @samp{cs}, @samp{ds}, @samp{ss}, @samp{es},
-@samp{fs}, @samp{gs}.  These are automatically added by specifying
-using the @var{section}:@var{memory-operand} form for memory references.
-
-@item
-@cindex size prefixes, i386
-Operand/Address size prefixes @samp{data16} and @samp{addr16}
-change 32-bit operands/addresses into 16-bit operands/addresses.  Note
-that 16-bit addressing modes (i.e. 8086 and 80286 addressing modes)
-are not supported (yet).
-
-@item
-@cindex bus lock prefixes, i386
-@cindex inhibiting interrupts, i386
-The bus lock prefix @samp{lock} inhibits interrupts during
-execution of the instruction it precedes.  (This is only valid with
-certain instructions; see a 80386 manual for details).
-
-@item
-@cindex coprocessor wait, i386
-The wait for coprocessor prefix @samp{wait} waits for the
-coprocessor to complete the current instruction.  This should never be
-needed for the 80386/80387 combination.
-
-@item
-@cindex repeat prefixes, i386
-The @samp{rep}, @samp{repe}, and @samp{repne} prefixes are added
-to string instructions to make them repeat @samp{%ecx} times.
-@end itemize
-
-@node i386-Memory
-@subsection Memory References
-
-@cindex i386 memory references
-@cindex memory references, i386
-An Intel syntax indirect memory reference of the form
-
-@smallexample
-@var{section}:[@var{base} + @var{index}*@var{scale} + @var{disp}]
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-is translated into the AT&T syntax
-
-@smallexample
-@var{section}:@var{disp}(@var{base}, @var{index}, @var{scale})
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-where @var{base} and @var{index} are the optional 32-bit base and
-index registers, @var{disp} is the optional displacement, and
-@var{scale}, taking the values 1, 2, 4, and 8, multiplies @var{index}
-to calculate the address of the operand.  If no @var{scale} is
-specified, @var{scale} is taken to be 1.  @var{section} specifies the
-optional section register for the memory operand, and may override the
-default section register (see a 80386 manual for section register
-defaults). Note that section overrides in AT&T syntax @emph{must} have
-be preceded by a @samp{%}.  If you specify a section override which
-coincides with the default section register, @code{as} will @emph{not}
-output any section register override prefixes to assemble the given
-instruction.  Thus, section overrides can be specified to emphasize which
-section register is used for a given memory operand.
-
-Here are some examples of Intel and AT&T style memory references:
-
-@table @asis
-@item AT&T: @samp{-4(%ebp)}, Intel:  @samp{[ebp - 4]}
-@var{base} is @samp{%ebp}; @var{disp} is @samp{-4}. @var{section} is
-missing, and the default section is used (@samp{%ss} for addressing with
-@samp{%ebp} as the base register).  @var{index}, @var{scale} are both missing.
-
-@item AT&T: @samp{foo(,%eax,4)}, Intel: @samp{[foo + eax*4]}
-@var{index} is @samp{%eax} (scaled by a @var{scale} 4); @var{disp} is
-@samp{foo}.  All other fields are missing.  The section register here
-defaults to @samp{%ds}.
-
-@item AT&T: @samp{foo(,1)}; Intel @samp{[foo]}
-This uses the value pointed to by @samp{foo} as a memory operand.
-Note that @var{base} and @var{index} are both missing, but there is only
-@emph{one} @samp{,}.  This is a syntactic exception.
-
-@item AT&T: @samp{%gs:foo}; Intel @samp{gs:foo}
-This selects the contents of the variable @samp{foo} with section
-register @var{section} being @samp{%gs}.
-@end table
-
-Absolute (as opposed to PC relative) call and jump operands must be
-prefixed with @samp{*}.  If no @samp{*} is specified, @code{as} will
-always choose PC relative addressing for jump/call labels.
-
-Any instruction that has a memory operand @emph{must} specify its size (byte,
-word, or long) with an opcode suffix (@samp{b}, @samp{w}, or @samp{l},
-respectively).
-
-@node i386-jumps
-@subsection Handling of Jump Instructions
-
-@cindex jump optimization, i386
-@cindex i386 jump optimization
-Jump instructions are always optimized to use the smallest possible
-displacements.  This is accomplished by using byte (8-bit) displacement
-jumps whenever the target is sufficiently close.  If a byte displacement
-is insufficient a long (32-bit) displacement is used.  We do not support
-word (16-bit) displacement jumps (i.e. prefixing the jump instruction
-with the @samp{addr16} opcode prefix), since the 80386 insists upon masking
-@samp{%eip} to 16 bits after the word displacement is added.
-
-Note that the @samp{jcxz}, @samp{jecxz}, @samp{loop}, @samp{loopz},
-@samp{loope}, @samp{loopnz} and @samp{loopne} instructions only come in
-byte displacements, so that it is possible that use of these
-instructions (@code{gcc} does not use them) will cause the assembler to
-print an error message (and generate incorrect code).  The AT&T 80386
-assembler tries to get around this problem by expanding @samp{jcxz foo} to
-@smallexample
-         jcxz cx_zero
-         jmp cx_nonzero
-cx_zero: jmp foo

-@cindex floating point, i386
-All 80387 floating point types except packed BCD are supported.
-(BCD support may be added without much difficulty).  These data
-types are 16-, 32-, and 64- bit integers, and single (32-bit),
-double (64-bit), and extended (80-bit) precision floating point.
-Each supported type has an opcode suffix and a constructor
-associated with it.  Opcode suffixes specify operand's data
-types.  Constructors build these data types into memory.
-
-@itemize @bullet

-@cindex @code{single} directive, i386
-@cindex @code{double} directive, i386

-Floating point constructors are @samp{.float} or @samp{.single},
-@samp{.double}, and @samp{.tfloat} for 32-, 64-, and 80-bit formats.
-These correspond to opcode suffixes @samp{s}, @samp{l}, and @samp{t}.
-@samp{t} stands for temporary real, and that the 80387 only supports
-this format via the @samp{fldt} (load temporary real to stack top) and
-@samp{fstpt} (store temporary real and pop stack) instructions.
-
-@item
-@cindex @code{word} directive, i386
-@cindex @code{long} directive, i386
-@cindex @code{int} directive, i386
-@cindex @code{quad} directive, i386
-Integer constructors are @samp{.word}, @samp{.long} or @samp{.int}, and
-@samp{.quad} for the 16-, 32-, and 64-bit integer formats.  The corresponding
-opcode suffixes are @samp{s} (single), @samp{l} (long), and @samp{q}
-(quad).  As with the temporary real format the 64-bit @samp{q} format is
-only present in the @samp{fildq} (load quad integer to stack top) and
-@samp{fistpq} (store quad integer and pop stack) instructions.
-@end itemize
-
-Register to register operations do not require opcode suffixes,
-so that @samp{fst %st, %st(1)} is equivalent to @samp{fstl %st, %st(1)}.
-
-@cindex i386 @code{fwait} instruction
-@cindex @code{fwait instruction}, i386
-Since the 80387 automatically synchronizes with the 80386 @samp{fwait}
-instructions are almost never needed (this is not the case for the
-80286/80287 and 8086/8087 combinations).  Therefore, @code{as} suppresses
-the @samp{fwait} instruction whenever it is implicitly selected by one
-of the @samp{fn@dots{}} instructions.  For example, @samp{fsave} and
-@samp{fnsave} are treated identically.  In general, all the @samp{fn@dots{}}
-instructions are made equivalent to @samp{f@dots{}} instructions.  If
-@samp{fwait} is desired it must be explicitly coded.

-@cindex @code{imul} instruction, i386
-There is some trickery concerning the @samp{mul} and @samp{imul}
-instructions that deserves mention.  The 16-, 32-, and 64-bit expanding
-multiplies (base opcode @samp{0xf6}; extension 4 for @samp{mul} and 5
-for @samp{imul}) can be output only in the one operand form.  Thus,
-@samp{imul %ebx, %eax} does @emph{not} select the expanding multiply;
-the expanding multiply would clobber the @samp{%edx} register, and this
-would confuse @code{gcc} output.  Use @samp{imul %ebx} to get the
-64-bit product in @samp{%edx:%eax}.
-
-We have added a two operand form of @samp{imul} when the first operand
-is an immediate mode expression and the second operand is a register.
-This is just a shorthand, so that, multiplying @samp{%eax} by 69, for
-example, can be done with @samp{imul $69, %eax} rather than @samp{imul
-$69, %eax, %eax}.

-@cindex Z8000 registers
-@cindex registers, Z8000
-The Z8000 has sixteen 16 bit registers, numbered 0 to 15.  You can refer
-to different sized groups of registers by register number, with the
-prefix @samp{r} for 16 bit registers, @samp{rr} for 32 bit registers and
-@samp{rq} for 64 bit registers.  You can also refer to the contents of
-the first eight (of the sixteen 16 bit registers) by bytes.  They are
-named @samp{r@var{n}h} and @samp{r@var{n}l}.

-
-@table @code
-@item r@var{n}
-Register direct
-
-@item @@r@var{n}
-Indirect register 
-
-@item @var{addr}
-Direct: the 16 bit or 24 bit address (depending on whether the assembler
-is in segmented or unsegmented mode) of the operand is in the instruction.
-
-@item address(r@var{n})
-Indexed: the 16 or 24 bit address is added to the 16 bit register to produce
-the final address in memory of the operand.
-
-@item r@var{n}(#@var{imm})
-Base Address: the 16 or 24 bit register is added to the 16 bit sign
-extended immediate displacement to produce the final address in memory
-of the operand.
-
-@item r@var{n}(r@var{m})
-Base Index: the 16 or 24 bit register r@var{n} is added to the sign
-extended 16 bit index register r@var{m} to produce the final address in
-memory of the operand.

-Assemble a string.  @code{sval} expects one string literal, delimited by
-single quotes.  It assembles each byte of the string into consecutive
-addresses.  You can use the escape sequence @samp{%@var{xx}} (where
-@var{xx} represents a two-digit hexadecimal number) to represent the
-character whose @sc{ascii} value is @var{xx}.  Use this feature to
-describe single quote and other characters that may not appear in string
-literals as themselves.  For example, the C statement @w{@samp{char *a =
-"he said \"it's 50% off\"";}} is represented in Z8000 assembly language
-(shown with the assembler output in hex at the left) as

-@unnumberedsec Preamble
-
-  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
-freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
-License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
-software---to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
-General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
-Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
-using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
-the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
-your programs, too.
-
-  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
-if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
-in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
-
-  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
-anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
-These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
-distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
-
-  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
-you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
-source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
-rights.
-
-  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
-(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
-distribute and/or modify the software.
-
-  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
-that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
-software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
-want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
-that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
-authors' reputations.
-
-  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
-patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
-program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
-program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
-patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
-
-  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.

-@unnumberedsec TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-@end iftex
-@ifinfo
-@center TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-@end ifinfo
-
-@enumerate
-@item
-This License applies to any program or other work which contains
-a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
-under the terms of this General Public License.  The ``Program'', below,
-refers to any such program or work, and a ``work based on the Program''
-means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
-that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
-either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
-language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
-the term ``modification''.)  Each licensee is addressed as ``you''.
-
-Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
-covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
-running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
-is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
-Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
-Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
-
-@item
-You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
-source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
-conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
-copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
-notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
-and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
-along with the Program.
-
-You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
-you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
-
-@item
-You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
-of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
-distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
-above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
-@enumerate a
-@item
-You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
-stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
-
-@item
-You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
-whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
-part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
-parties under the terms of this License.
-
-@item
-If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
-when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
-interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
-announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
-notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
-a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
-these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
-License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
-does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
-the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
-@end enumerate
-
-These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
-identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
-and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
-themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
-sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
-distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
-on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
-this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
-entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
-
-Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
-your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
-exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
-collective works based on the Program.
-
-In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
-with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
-a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
-the scope of this License.
-
-@item
-You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
-under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
-Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
-
-@enumerate a
-@item
-Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
-source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
-1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
-@item
-Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
-years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
-cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
-machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
-distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
-customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
-@item
-Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
-to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
-allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
-received the program in object code or executable form with such
-an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
-@end enumerate
-
-The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
-making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
-code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
-associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
-control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
-special exception, the source code distributed need not include
-anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
-form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
-operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
-itself accompanies the executable.
-
-If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
-access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
-access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
-distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
-compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
-
-@item
-You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
-except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
-otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
-void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
-However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
-this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
-parties remain in full compliance.
-
-@item
-You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
-signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
-distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
-prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
-modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
-all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
-the Program or works based on it.
-
-@item
-Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
-original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
-these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
-restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
-You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
-this License.
-
-@item
-If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
-infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
-conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
-distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
-License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
-may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
-license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
-all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
-the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
-refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
-
-If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
-any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
-apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
-circumstances.
-
-It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
-patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
-such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
-integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
-implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
-generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
-through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
-system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
-to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
-impose that choice.
-
-This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
-be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
-@item
-If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
-certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
-original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
-may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
-those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
-countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
-the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
-
-@item
-The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
-of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
-be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
-address new problems or concerns.
-
-Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
-specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and ``any
-later version'', you have the option of following the terms and conditions
-either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
-Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
-this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
-Foundation.
-
-@item
-If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
-programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
-to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
-Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
-make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
-of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
-of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

-@unnumberedsec Applying These Terms to Your New Programs
-
-  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
-
-  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
-to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
-convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
-the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

-` Copyright (c) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.'
-` This file defines and documents the M4 macros used '
-`      to preprocess some GNU manuals'
-` $Id$'
-
-I. INTRODUCTION
-
-This collection of M4 macros is meant to help in pre-processing texinfo
-files to allow configuring them by hosts; for example, the reader of an
-as manual who only has access to a 386 may not really want to see crud about 
-VAXen. 
-
-A preprocessor is used, rather than extending texinfo, because this
-way we can hack the conditionals in only one place; otherwise we would
-have to write TeX macros, update makeinfo, and update the Emacs
-info-formatting functions.
-
-II. COMPATIBILITY
-
-These macros should work with GNU m4 and System V m4; they do not work
-with Sun or Berkeley M4.
-
-III. USAGE
-
-A. M4 INVOCATION
-Assume this file is called "pretex.m4".  Then, to preprocess a
-document "mybook.texinfo" you might do something like the following:
-
-	m4 pretex.m4 none.m4 PARTIC.m4 mybook.texinfo >mybook-PARTIC.texinfo
-
----where your path is set to find GNU or SysV "m4", and the other m4
-files mentioned are as follows:
-
-	none.m4: A file that defines, as 0, all the options you might
-		want to turn on using the conditionals defined below.
-		Unlike the C preprocessor, m4 does not default
-		undefined macros to 0.  For example, here is a "none.m4"
-		I have been using:
-	    _divert__(-1)
-
-	    _define__(<_ALL_ARCH__>,<0>)
-	    _define__(<_INTERNALS__>,<0>)
-
-	    _define__(<_AMD29K__>,<0>)
-	    _define__(<_I80386__>,<0>)
-	    _define__(<_I960__>,<0>)
-	    _define__(<_M680X0__>,<0>)
-	    _define__(<_SPARC__>,<0>)
-	    _define__(<_VAX__>,<0>)
-
-	    _divert__<>
-
-	PARTIC.m4: A file that turns on whichever options you actually
-		want the manual configured for, in this particular
-		instance.  Its contents are similar to one or more of
-		the lines in "none.m4", but of course the second
-		argument to _define__ is <1> rather than <0>.
-
-		This is also a convenient place to _define__ any macros
-		that you want to expand to different text for
-		different configurations---for example, the name of
-		the program being described.
-
-Naturally, these are just suggested conventions; you could put your macro
-definitions in any files or combinations of files you like.
-
-These macros use the characters < and > as m4 quotes; if you need
-these characters in your text, you will also want to use the macros
-_0__ and _1__ from this package---see the description of "Quote
-Handling" in the "Implementation" section below.
-
-B. WHAT GOES IN THE PRE-TEXINFO SOURCE
-
-For the most part, the text of your book.  In addition, you can
-have text that is included only conditionally, using the macros
-_if__ and _fi__ defined below.  They BOTH take an argument!  This is
-primarily meant for readability (so a human can more easily see what
-conditional end matches what conditional beginning), but the argument
-is actually used in the _fi__ as well as the _if__ implementation.
-You should always give a _fi__ the same argument as its matching
-_if__.  Other arguments may appear to work for a while, but are almost
-certain to produce the wrong output for some configurations.
-
-For example, here is an excerpt from the very beginning of the
-documentation for GNU as, to name the info file appropriately for
-different configurations:
-    _if__(_ALL_ARCH__)
-    @setfilename as.info
-    _fi__(_ALL_ARCH__)
-    _if__(_M680X0__ && !_ALL_ARCH__)
-    @setfilename as-m680x0.info
-    _fi__(_M680X0__ && !_ALL_ARCH__)
-    _if__(_AMD29K__ && !_ALL_ARCH__)
-    @setfilename as-29k.info
-    _fi__(_AMD29K__ && !_ALL_ARCH__) 
-
-Note that you can use Boolean expressions in the arguments; the
-expression language is that of the built-in m4 macro `eval', described
-in the m4 manual.
-
-IV. IMPLEMENTATION
-
-A.PRIMITIVE RENAMING
-First, we redefine m4's built-ins to avoid conflict with plain text.
-The naming convention used is that our macros all begin with a single
-underbar and end with two underbars.  The asymmetry is meant to avoid
-conflict with some other conventions (which we may want to document) that
-are intended to avoid conflict, like ANSI C predefined macros.
-
-define(`_undefine__',defn(`undefine'))
-define(`_define__',defn(`define'))
-define(`_defn__',defn(`defn'))
-define(`_ppf__',`_define__(`_$1__',_defn__(`$1'))_undefine__(`$1')')
-_ppf__(`builtin')
-_ppf__(`changecom')
-_ppf__(`changequote')
-_ppf__(`decr')
-_ppf__(`define')
-_ppf__(`defn')
-_ppf__(`divert')
-_ppf__(`divnum')
-_ppf__(`dnl')
-_ppf__(`dumpdef')
-_ppf__(`errprint')
-_ppf__(`esyscmd')
-_ppf__(`eval')
-_ppf__(`format')
-_ppf__(`ifdef')
-_ppf__(`ifelse')
-_ppf__(`include')
-_ppf__(`incr')
-_ppf__(`index')
-_ppf__(`len')
-_ppf__(`m4exit')
-_ppf__(`m4wrap')
-_ppf__(`maketemp')
-_ppf__(`patsubst')
-_ppf__(`popdef')
-_ppf__(`pushdef')
-_ppf__(`regexp')
-_ppf__(`shift')
-_ppf__(`sinclude')
-_ppf__(`substr')
-_ppf__(`syscmd')
-_ppf__(`sysval')
-_ppf__(`traceoff')
-_ppf__(`traceon')
-_ppf__(`translit')
-_ppf__(`undefine')
-_ppf__(`undivert')
-_ppf__(`unix')
-
-B. QUOTE HANDLING.
-
-The characters used as quotes by M4, by default, are unfortunately
-quite likely to occur in ordinary text.  To avoid surprises, we will
-use the characters <> ---which are just as suggestive (more so to
-Francophones, perhaps) but a little less common in text (save for
-those poor Francophones.  You win some, you lose some).  Still, we
-expect also to have to set < and > occasionally in text; to do that,
-we define a macro to turn off quote handling (_0__) and a macro to
-turn it back on (_1__), according to our convention.  
-
-	BEWARE: This seems to make < and > unusable as relational operations
-		in calls to the builtin "eval".  So far I've gotten
-		along without; but a better choice may be possible.
-
-Note that we postponed this for a while, for convenience in discussing
-the issue and in the primitive renaming---not to mention in defining
-_0__ and _1__ themselves!  However, the quote redefinitions MUST
-precede the _if__ / _fi__ definitions, because M4 will expand the text
-as given---if we use the wrong quotes here, we will get the wrong
-quotes when we use the conditionals.
-
-_define__(_0__,`_changequote__(
,)')_define__(_1__,`_changequote__(<,>)')
-_1__
-
-C. CONDITIONALS
-
-We define two macros, _if__ and _fi__.  BOTH take arguments!  This is
-meant both to help the human reader match up a _fi__ with its
-corresponding _if__ and to aid in the implementation.  You may use the
-full expression syntax supported by M4 (see docn of `eval' builtin in
-the m4 manual).
-
-The conditional macros are carefully defined to avoid introducing
-extra whitespace (i.e., blank lines or blank characters).  One side
-effect exists---
-
-	BEWARE: text following an `_if__' on the same line is
-		DISCARDED even if the condition is true; text
-		following a `_fi__' on the same line is also 
-		always discarded.
-
-The recommended convention is to always place _if__ and _fi__ on a
-line by themselves.  This will also aid the human reader.  TeX won't
-care about the line breaks; as for info, you may want to insert calls
-to `@refill' at the end of paragraphs containing conditionalized text,
-where you don't want line breaks separating unconditional from
-conditional text.  info formatting will then give you nice looking
-paragraphs in the info file.
-
-Nesting: conditionals are designed to nest, in the following way:
-*nothing* is output between an outer pair of false conditionals, even
-if there are true conditionals inside.  A false conditional "defeats"
-all conditionals within it.  The counter _IF_FS__ is used to
-implement this; kindly avoid redefining it directly.
-
-_define__(<_IF_FS__>,<0>)
-
-NOTE: The definitions for our "pushf" and "popf" macros use eval

-D. CHAPTER/SECTION MACRO
-In a parametrized manual, the heading level may need to be calculated;
-for example, a manual that has a chapter on machine dependencies
-should be conditionally structured as follows:
-	- IF the manual is configured for a SINGLE machine type,  use
-the chapter heading for that machine type, and run headings down
-from there (top level for a particular machine is chapter, then within
-that we have section, subsection etc);
-	- ELSE, if MANY machine types are described in the chapter,
-use a generic chapter heading such as "@chapter Machine Dependencies",
-use "section" for the top level description of EACH machine, and run
-headings down from there (top level for a particular machine is
-section, then within that we have subsection, subsubsection etc).
-
-The macro <_CHAPSEC__> is for this purpose: its argument is evaluated (so
-you can construct expressions to express choices such as above), then
-expands as follows:
-   0: @chapter
-   1: @section
-   2: @subsection
-   3: @subsubsection
- ...and so on.
