The default is ELF (criself), unless @code{@value{AS}} has been configured specifically for a.out by using the configuration name @code{cris-axis-aout}. @cindex @option{--underscore} command-line option, CRIS @cindex @option{--no-underscore} command-line option, CRIS @cindex CRIS @option{--underscore} command-line option @cindex CRIS @option{--no-underscore} command-line option There are two different link-incompatible ELF object file variants for CRIS, for use in environments where symbols are expected to be prefixed by a leading @samp{_} character and for environments without such a symbol prefix. The variant used for GNU/Linux port has no symbol prefix. Which variant to produce is specified by either of the options @option{--underscore} and @option{--no-underscore}. The default is @option{--underscore}. Since symbols in CRIS a.out objects are expected to have a @samp{_} prefix, specifying @option{--no-underscore} when generating a.out objects is an error. Besides the object format difference, the effect of this option is to parse register names differently (@pxref{crisnous}). The @option{--no-underscore} option makes a @samp{$} register prefix mandatory. @cindex @option{--pic} command-line option, CRIS @cindex CRIS @option{--pic} command-line option @cindex Position-independent code, CRIS @cindex CRIS position-independent code The option @option{--pic} must be passed to @code{@value{AS}} in order to recognize the symbol syntax used for ELF (SVR4 PIC) position-independent-code (@pxref{crispic}). This will also affect expansion of instructions. The expansion with @option{--pic} will use PC-relative rather than (slightly faster) absolute addresses in those expansions. This option is only valid when generating ELF format object files. @cindex @option{--march=@var{architecture}} command-line option, CRIS @cindex CRIS @option{--march=@var{architecture}} command-line option @cindex Architecture variant option, CRIS @cindex CRIS architecture variant option The option @option{--march=@var{architecture}} @anchor{march-option}specifies the recognized instruction set and recognized register names. It also controls the architecture type of the object file. Valid values for @var{architecture} are: @table @code @item v0_v10 All instructions and register names for any architecture variant in the set v0@dots{}v10 are recognized. This is the default if the target is configured as cris-*. @item v10 Only instructions and register names for CRIS v10 (as found in ETRAX 100 LX) are recognized. This is the default if the target is configured as crisv10-*. @item v32 Only instructions and register names for CRIS v32 (code name Guinness) are recognized. This is the default if the target is configured as crisv32-*. This value implies @option{--no-mul-bug-abort}. (A subsequent @option{--mul-bug-abort} will turn it back on.) @item common_v10_v32 Only instructions with register names and addressing modes with opcodes common to the v10 and v32 are recognized. @end table @cindex @option{-N} command-line option, CRIS @cindex CRIS @option{-N} command-line option When @option{-N} is specified, @code{@value{AS}} will emit a warning when a 16-bit branch instruction is expanded into a 32-bit multiple-instruction construct (@pxref{CRIS-Expand}). @cindex @option{--no-mul-bug-abort} command-line option, CRIS @cindex @option{--mul-bug-abort} command-line option, CRIS @cindex CRIS @option{--no-mul-bug-abort} command-line option @cindex CRIS @option{--mul-bug-abort} command-line option Some versions of the CRIS v10, for example in the Etrax 100 LX, contain a bug that causes destabilizing memory accesses when a multiply instruction is executed with certain values in the first operand just before a cache-miss. When the @option{--mul-bug-abort} command-line option is active (the default value), @code{@value{AS}} will refuse to assemble a file containing a multiply instruction at a dangerous offset, one that could be the last on a cache-line, or is in a section with insufficient alignment. This placement checking does not catch any case where the multiply instruction is dangerously placed because it is located in a delay-slot. The @option{--mul-bug-abort} command-line option turns off the checking. @node CRIS-Expand @section Instruction expansion @cindex instruction expansion, CRIS @cindex CRIS instruction expansion @code{@value{AS}} will silently choose an instruction that fits the operand size for @samp{[register+constant]} operands. For example, the offset @code{127} in @code{move.d [r3+127],r4} fits in an instruction using a signed-byte offset. Similarly, @code{move.d [r2+32767],r1} will generate an instruction using a 16-bit offset. For symbolic expressions and constants that do not fit in 16 bits including the sign bit, a 32-bit offset is generated. For branches, @code{@value{AS}} will expand from a 16-bit branch instruction into a sequence of instructions that can reach a full 32-bit address. Since this does not correspond to a single instruction, such expansions can optionally be warned about. @xref{CRIS-Opts}. If the operand is found to fit the range, a @code{lapc} mnemonic will translate to a @code{lapcq} instruction. Use @code{lapc.d} to force the 32-bit @code{lapc} instruction. Similarly, the @code{addo} mnemonic will translate to the shortest fitting instruction of @code{addoq}, @code{addo.w} and @code{addo.d}, when used with a operand that is a constant known at assembly time. @node CRIS-Symbols @section Symbols @cindex Symbols, built-in, CRIS @cindex Symbols, CRIS, built-in @cindex CRIS built-in symbols @cindex Built-in symbols, CRIS Some symbols are defined by the assembler. They're intended to be used in conditional assembly, for example: @smallexample .if ..asm.arch.cris.v32 @var{code for CRIS v32} .elseif ..asm.arch.cris.common_v10_v32 @var{code common to CRIS v32 and CRIS v10} .elseif ..asm.arch.cris.v10 | ..asm.arch.cris.any_v0_v10 @var{code for v10} .else .error "Code needs to be added here." .endif @end smallexample These symbols are defined in the assembler, reflecting command-line options, either when specified or the default. They are always defined, to 0 or 1. @table @code @item ..asm.arch.cris.any_v0_v10 This symbol is non-zero when @option{--march=v0_v10} is specified or the default. @item ..asm.arch.cris.common_v10_v32 Set according to the option @option{--march=common_v10_v32}. @item ..asm.arch.cris.v10 Reflects the option @option{--march=v10}. @item ..asm.arch.cris.v32 Corresponds to @option{--march=v10}. @end table Speaking of symbols, when a symbol is used in code, it can have a suffix modifying its value for use in position-independent code. @xref{CRIS-Pic}. @node CRIS-Syntax @section Syntax There are different aspects of the CRIS assembly syntax. @menu * CRIS-Chars:: Special Characters * CRIS-Pic:: Position-Independent Code Symbols * CRIS-Regs:: Register Names * CRIS-Pseudos:: Assembler Directives @end menu @node CRIS-Chars @subsection Special Characters @cindex line comment characters, CRIS @cindex CRIS line comment characters The character @samp{#} is a line comment character. It starts a comment if and only if it is placed at the beginning of a line. A @samp{;} character starts a comment anywhere on the line, causing all characters up to the end of the line to be ignored. A @samp{@@} character is handled as a line separator equivalent to a logical new-line character (except in a comment), so separate instructions can be specified on a single line. @node CRIS-Pic @subsection Symbols in position-independent code @cindex Symbols in position-independent code, CRIS @cindex CRIS symbols in position-independent code @cindex Position-independent code, symbols in, CRIS When generating @anchor{crispic}position-independent code (SVR4 PIC) for use in cris-axis-linux-gnu or crisv32-axis-linux-gnu shared libraries, symbol suffixes are used to specify what kind of run-time symbol lookup will be used, expressed in the object as different @emph{relocation types}. Usually, all absolute symbol values must be located in a table, the @emph{global offset table}, leaving the code position-independent; independent of values of global symbols and independent of the address of the code. The suffix modifies the value of the symbol, into for example an index into the global offset table where the real symbol value is entered, or a PC-relative value, or a value relative to the start of the global offset table. All symbol suffixes start with the character @samp{:} (omitted in the list below). Every symbol use in code or a read-only section must therefore have a PIC suffix to enable a useful shared library to be created. Usually, these constructs must not be used with an additive constant offset as is usually allowed, i.e.@: no 4 as in @code{symbol + 4} is allowed. This restriction is checked at link-time, not at assembly-time. @table @code @item GOT Attaching this suffix to a symbol in an instruction causes the symbol to be entered into the global offset table. The value is a 32-bit index for that symbol into the global offset table. The name of the corresponding relocation is @samp{R_CRIS_32_GOT}. Example: @code{move.d [$r0+extsym:GOT],$r9} @item GOT16 Same as for @samp{GOT}, but the value is a 16-bit index into the global offset table. The corresponding relocation is @samp{R_CRIS_16_GOT}. Example: @code{move.d [$r0+asymbol:GOT16],$r10} @item PLT This suffix is used for function symbols. It causes a @emph{procedure linkage table}, an array of code stubs, to be created at the time the shared object is created or linked against, together with a global offset table entry. The value is a pc-relative offset to the corresponding stub code in the procedure linkage table. This arrangement causes the run-time symbol resolver to be called to look up and set the value of the symbol the first time the function is called (at latest; depending environment variables). It is only safe to leave the symbol unresolved this way if all references are function calls. The name of the relocation is @samp{R_CRIS_32_PLT_PCREL}. Example: @code{add.d fnname:PLT,$pc} @item PLTG Like PLT, but the value is relative to the beginning of the global offset table. The relocation is @samp{R_CRIS_32_PLT_GOTREL}. Example: @code{move.d fnname:PLTG,$r3} @item GOTPLT Similar to @samp{PLT}, but the value of the symbol is a 32-bit index into the global offset table. This is somewhat of a mix between the effect of the @samp{GOT} and the @samp{PLT} suffix; the difference to @samp{GOT} is that there will be a procedure linkage table entry created, and that the symbol is assumed to be a function entry and will be resolved by the run-time resolver as with @samp{PLT}. The relocation is @samp{R_CRIS_32_GOTPLT}. Example: @code{jsr [$r0+fnname:GOTPLT]} @item GOTPLT16 A variant of @samp{GOTPLT} giving a 16-bit value. Its relocation name is @samp{R_CRIS_16_GOTPLT}. Example: @code{jsr [$r0+fnname:GOTPLT16]} @item GOTOFF This suffix must only be attached to a local symbol, but may be used in an expression adding an offset. The value is the address of the symbol relative to the start of the global offset table. The relocation name is @samp{R_CRIS_32_GOTREL}. Example: @code{move.d [$r0+localsym:GOTOFF],r3} @end table @node CRIS-Regs @subsection Register names @cindex register names, CRIS @cindex CRIS register names A @samp{$} character may always prefix a general or special register name in an instruction operand but is mandatory when the option @option{--no-underscore} is specified or when the @code{.syntax register_prefix} directive is in effect (@pxref{crisnous}). Register names are case-insensitive. @node CRIS-Pseudos @subsection Assembler Directives @cindex assembler directives, CRIS @cindex pseudo-ops, CRIS @cindex CRIS assembler directives @cindex CRIS pseudo-ops There are a few CRIS-specific pseudo-directives in addition to the generic ones. @xref{Pseudo Ops}. Constants emitted by pseudo-directives are in little-endian order for CRIS. There is no support for floating-point-specific directives for CRIS. @table @code @item .dword EXPRESSIONS @cindex assembler directive .dword, CRIS @cindex pseudo-op .dword, CRIS @cindex CRIS assembler directive .dword @cindex CRIS pseudo-op .dword The @code{.dword} directive is a synonym for @code{.int}, expecting zero or more EXPRESSIONS, separated by commas. For each expression, a 32-bit little-endian constant is emitted. @item .syntax ARGUMENT @cindex assembler directive .syntax, CRIS @cindex pseudo-op .syntax, CRIS @cindex CRIS assembler directive .syntax @cindex CRIS pseudo-op .syntax The @code{.syntax} directive takes as @var{ARGUMENT} one of the following case-sensitive choices. @table @code @item no_register_prefix The @code{.syntax no_register_prefix} @anchor{crisnous}directive makes a @samp{$} character prefix on all registers optional. It overrides a previous setting, including the corresponding effect of the option @option{--no-underscore}. If this directive is used when ordinary symbols do not have a @samp{_} character prefix, care must be taken to avoid ambiguities whether an operand is a register or a symbol; using symbols with names the same as general or special registers then invoke undefined behavior. @item register_prefix This directive makes a @samp{$} character prefix on all registers mandatory. It overrides a previous setting, including the corresponding effect of the option @option{--underscore}. @item leading_underscore This is an assertion directive, emitting an error if the @option{--no-underscore} option is in effect. @item no_leading_underscore This is the opposite of the @code{.syntax leading_underscore} directive and emits an error if the option @option{--underscore} is in effect. @end table @item .arch ARGUMENT @cindex assembler directive .arch, CRIS @cindex pseudo-op .arch, CRIS @cindex CRIS assembler directive .arch @cindex CRIS pseudo-op .arch This is an assertion directive, giving an error if the specified @var{ARGUMENT} is not the same as the specified or default value for the @option{--march=@var{architecture}} option (@pxref{march-option}). @c If you compare with md_pseudo_table, you see that we don't @c document ".file" and ".loc" here. This is because we're just @c wrapping the corresponding ELF function and emitting an error for @c a.out. @end table
