+     possible ARM->Thumb calls.  Also, these labels can be used
+     as part of a computed goto or switch statement.  eg gcc

+       .Lccc:  .word .Lyyy
+       ..etc...
+       .Laaa:   .word Lbbb
+
+     The first instruction loads the address of the jump table.
+     The second instruction converts a table index into a byte offset.
+     The third instruction gets the jump address out of the table.
+     The fourth instruction performs the jump.
+     
+     If the address stored at .Laaa is that of a symbol which has the
+     Thumb_Func bit set, then the linker will arrange for this address
+     to have the bottom bit set, which in turn would mean that the
+     address computation performed by the third instruction would end
+     up with the bottom bit set.  Since the ARM is capable of unaligned
+     word loads, the instruction would then load the incorrect address
+     out of the jump table, and chaos would ensue.  */

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+GNU \f(CWas\fR 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
-\c
-.I pseudo-ops)\c
-\& and assembler syntax.  
-
-For information on the syntax and pseudo-ops used by GNU \c
-.B as\c
-\&, see `\|\c
-.B as\c
-\|' entry in \c
-.B info \c
-(or the manual \c
-.I
-.I
-Using as: The GNU Assembler\c
-\&).
-
-\c
-.B as\c
-\& is primarily intended to assemble the output of the GNU C
-compiler \c
-.B gcc\c
-\& for use by the linker \c
-.B ld\c
-\&.  Nevertheless,
-we've tried to make \c
-.B as\c
-\& assemble correctly everything that the native
-assembler would.
-This doesn't mean \c
-.B as\c
-\& always uses the same syntax as another
+\fIpseudo-ops\fR) and assembler syntax.

 assembler for the same architecture; for example, we know of several
 incompatible versions of 680x0 assembly language syntax.

+If you are invoking \f(CWas\fR via the GNU C compiler (version 2),

-     
-\"    Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim
-\"    copies of this license document, but changing it is
-\"    not allowed.
-\"  .PP
-\"  0. PREAMBLE
-\"  .PP
-\"  The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
-\"  written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone
-\"  the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without
-\"  modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.  Secondarily,
-\"  this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get
-\"  credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for
-\"  modifications made by others.
-\"  .PP
-\"  This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
-\"  works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.  It
-\"  complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
-\"  license designed for free software.
-\"  .PP
-\"  We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
-\"  software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
-\"  program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
-\"  software does.  But this License is not limited to software manuals;
-\"  it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
-\"  whether it is published as a printed book.  We recommend this License
-\"  principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
-\"  .PP
-\"  1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
-\"  .PP
-\"  This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
-\"  notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
-\"  under the terms of this License.  The "Document", below, refers to any
-\"  such manual or work.  Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
-\"  addressed as "you".
-\"  .PP
-\"  A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
-\"  Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
-\"  modifications and/or translated into another language.
-\"  .PP
-\"  A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
-\"  the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
-\"  publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
-\"  (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
-\"  within that overall subject.  (For example, if the Document is in part a
-\"  textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
-\"  mathematics.)  The relationship could be a matter of historical
-\"  connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
-\"  commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
-\"  them.
-\"  .PP
-\"  The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
-\"  are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
-\"  that says that the Document is released under this License.
-\"  .PP
-\"  The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
-\"  as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
-\"  the Document is released under this License.
-\"  .PP
-\"  A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
-\"  represented in a format whose specification is available to the
-\"  general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
-\"  straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
-\"  pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
-\"  drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
-\"  for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
-\"  to text formatters.  A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
-\"  format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
-\"  subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.  A copy that is
-\"  not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
-\"  .PP
-\"  Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
-\"  ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
-\"  or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
-\"  HTML designed for human modification.  Opaque formats include
-\"  PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only
-\"  by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
-\"  processing tools are not generally available, and the
-\"  machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output
-\"  purposes only.
-\"  .PP
-\"  The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
-\"  plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
-\"  this License requires to appear in the title page.  For works in
-\"  formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
-\"  the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
-\"  preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
-\"  .PP
-\"  2. VERBATIM COPYING
-\"  .PP
-\"  You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
-\"  commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
-\"  copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
-\"  to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
-\"  conditions whatsoever to those of this License.  You may not use
-\"  technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
-\"  copying of the copies you make or distribute.  However, you may accept
-\"  compensation in exchange for copies.  If you distribute a large enough
-\"  number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
-\"  .PP
-\"  You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
-\"  you may publicly display copies.
-\"  .PP
-\"  3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
-\"  .PP
-\"  If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
-\"  and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose
-\"  the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
-\"  Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
-\"  the back cover.  Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
-\"  you as the publisher of these copies.  The front cover must present
-\"  the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
-\"  visible.  You may add other material on the covers in addition.
-\"  Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
-\"  the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
-\"  as verbatim copying in other respects.
-\"  .PP
-\"  If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
-\"  legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
-\"  reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
-\"  pages.
-\"  .PP
-\"  If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
-\"  more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
-\"  copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
-\"  a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
-\"  Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
-\"  general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
-\"  charge using public-standard network protocols.  If you use the latter
-\"  option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
-\"  distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
-\"  Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
-\"  until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
-\"  copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
-\"  the public.
-\"  .PP
-\"  It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
-\"  Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
-\"  them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
-\"  .PP
-\"  4. MODIFICATIONS
-\"  .PP
-\"  You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
-\"  the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
-\"  the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
-\"  Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
-\"  and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
-\"  of it.  In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
-\"  .PP
-\"  A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
-\"  from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
-\"  (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
-\"  of the Document).  You may use the same title as a previous version
-\"  if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
-\"  .PP
-\"  B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
-\"  responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
-\"  Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
-\"  Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five).
-\"  .PP
-\"  C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
-\"  Modified Version, as the publisher.
-\"  .PP
-\"  D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
-\"  .PP
-\"  E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
-\"  adjacent to the other copyright notices.
-\"  .PP
-\"  F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
-\"  giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
-\"  terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
-\"  Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
-\"  and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
-\"  .PP
-\"  H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
-\"  .PP
-\"  I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to
-\"  it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
-\"  publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page.  If
-\"  there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one
-\"  stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
-\"  given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
-\"  Version as stated in the previous sentence.
-\"  .PP
-\"  J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
-\"  public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
-\"  the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
-\"  it was based on.  These may be placed in the "History" section.
-\"  You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
-\"  least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
-\"  publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
-\"  .PP
-\"  K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
-\"  preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
-\"  substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
-\"  and/or dedications given therein.
-\"  .PP
-\"  L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
-\"  unaltered in their text and in their titles.  Section numbers
-\"  or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
-\"  .PP
-\"  M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements".  Such a section
-\"  may not be included in the Modified Version.
-\"  .PP
-\"  N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements"
-\"  or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
-\"  .PP
-\"  If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
-\"  appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
-\"  copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
-\"  of these sections as invariant.  To do this, add their titles to the
-\"  list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
-\"  These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
-\"  .PP
-\"  You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
-\"  nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
-\"  parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
-\"  been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
-\"  standard.
-\"  .PP
-\"  You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
-\"  passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
-\"  of Cover Texts in the Modified Version.  Only one passage of
-\"  Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
-\"  through arrangements made by) any one entity.  If the Document already
-\"  includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
-\"  by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
-\"  you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
-\"  permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
-\"  .PP
-\"  The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
-\"  give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
-\"  imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
-\"  .PP
-
-\"  5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
-\"  .PP
-\"  You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
-\"  License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
-\"  versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
-\"  Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
-\"  list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
-\"  license notice.
-\"  .PP
-\"  The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
-\"  multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
-\"  copy.  If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
-\"  different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
-\"  adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
-\"  author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
-\"  Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
-\"  Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
-\"  .PP
-\"  In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History"
-\"  in the various original documents, forming one section entitled
-\"  "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements",
-\"  and any sections entitled "Dedications".  You must delete all sections
-\"  entitled "Endorsements."
-\"  .PP
-
-\"  6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
-\"  .PP
-\"  You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
-\"  released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
-\"  License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
-\"  the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
-\"  verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
-\"  .PP
-\"  You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
-\"  it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
-\"  License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
-\"  other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
-\"  .PP
-
-\"  7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
-\"  .PP
-\"  A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
-\"  and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
-\"  distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version
-\"  of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the
-\"  compilation.  Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this
-\"  License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled
-\"  with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they
-\"  are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
-\"  .PP
-\"  If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
-\"  copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter
-\"  of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
-\"  covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate.
-\"  Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.
-\"  .PP
-
-\"  8. TRANSLATION
-\"  .PP
-\"  Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
-\"  distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
-\"  Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
-\"  permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
-\"  translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
-\"  original versions of these Invariant Sections.  You may include a
-\"  translation of this License provided that you also include the
-\"  original English version of this License.  In case of a disagreement
-\"  between the translation and the original English version of this
-\"  License, the original English version will prevail.
-\"  .PP
-
-\"  9. TERMINATION
-\"  .PP
-\"  You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
-\"  as expressly provided for under this License.  Any other attempt to
-\"  copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document 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.
-\"  .PP
-
-\"  10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
-\"  .PP
-\"  The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
-\"  of the GNU Free Documentation 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.  See
-\"  http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
-\"  .PP
-\"  Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
-\"  If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
-\"  License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
-\"  following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
-\"  of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
-\"  Free Software Foundation.  If the Document does not specify a version
-\"  number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
-\"  as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
-\"  .PP
-
-\"  ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
-\"  .PP
-\"  To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
-\"  the License in the document and put the following copyright and
-\"  license notices just after the title page:
-\"  .PP
-\"      Copyright (c)  YEAR  YOUR NAME.
-\"      Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or
-\"      modify this document under the terms of the GNU
-\"      Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 or any later
-\"      version published by the Free Software Foundation;
-\"      with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES,
-\"      with the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the
-\"      Back-Cover Texts being LIST.  A copy of the license
-\"      is included in the section entitled "GNU Free
-\"      Documentation License".
-\"  .PP
-\"  If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant Sections"
-\"  instead of saying which ones are invariant.  If you have no
-\"  Front-Cover Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of
-\"  "Front-Cover Texts being LIST"; likewise for Back-Cover Texts.
-\"  .PP
-\"  If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
-\"  recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
-\"  free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,
-\"  to permit their use in free software.
+Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
+under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1
+or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
+with no Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts, and with no
+Back-Cover Texts.  A copy of the license is included in the
+section entitled \*(L"GNU Free Documentation License\*(R".
