In this mode, the assembler only accepts 68HC11 operands and mnemonics. It produces code for the 68HC11. @cindex @samp{-m68hc12} @item -m68hc12 This option switches the assembler into the M68HC12 mode. In this mode, the assembler also accepts 68HC12 operands and mnemonics. It produces code for the 68HC12. A few 68HC11 instructions are replaced by some 68HC12 instructions as recommended by Motorola specifications. @cindex @samp{-m68hcs12} @item -m68hcs12 This option switches the assembler into the M68HCS12 mode. This mode is similar to @samp{-m68hc12} but specifies to assemble for the 68HCS12 series. The only difference is on the assembling of the @samp{movb} and @samp{movw} instruction when a PC-relative operand is used. @cindex @samp{-mm9s12x} @item -mm9s12x This option switches the assembler into the M9S12X mode. This mode is similar to @samp{-m68hc12} but specifies to assemble for the S12X series which is a superset of the HCS12. @cindex @samp{-mm9s12xg} @item -mm9s12xg This option switches the assembler into the XGATE mode for the RISC co-processor featured on some S12X-family chips. @cindex @samp{--xgate-ramoffset} @item --xgate-ramoffset This option instructs the linker to offset RAM addresses from S12X address space into XGATE address space. @cindex @samp{-mshort} @item -mshort This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 16-bit integer ABI. It has no effect on the assembled instructions. This is the default. @cindex @samp{-mlong} @item -mlong This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 32-bit integer ABI. @cindex @samp{-mshort-double} @item -mshort-double This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 32-bit float ABI. This is the default. @cindex @samp{-mlong-double} @item -mlong-double This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 64-bit float ABI. @cindex @samp{--strict-direct-mode} @item --strict-direct-mode You can use the @samp{--strict-direct-mode} option to disable the automatic translation of direct page mode addressing into extended mode when the instruction does not support direct mode. For example, the @samp{clr} instruction does not support direct page mode addressing. When it is used with the direct page mode, @code{@value{AS}} will ignore it and generate an absolute addressing. This option prevents @code{@value{AS}} from doing this, and the wrong usage of the direct page mode will raise an error. @cindex @samp{--short-branches} @item --short-branches The @samp{--short-branches} option turns off the translation of relative branches into absolute branches when the branch offset is out of range. By default @code{@value{AS}} transforms the relative branch (@samp{bsr}, @samp{bgt}, @samp{bge}, @samp{beq}, @samp{bne}, @samp{ble}, @samp{blt}, @samp{bhi}, @samp{bcc}, @samp{bls}, @samp{bcs}, @samp{bmi}, @samp{bvs}, @samp{bvs}, @samp{bra}) into an absolute branch when the offset is out of the -128 .. 127 range. In that case, the @samp{bsr} instruction is translated into a @samp{jsr}, the @samp{bra} instruction is translated into a @samp{jmp} and the conditional branches instructions are inverted and followed by a @samp{jmp}. This option disables these translations and @code{@value{AS}} will generate an error if a relative branch is out of range. This option does not affect the optimization associated to the @samp{jbra}, @samp{jbsr} and @samp{jbXX} pseudo opcodes. @cindex @samp{--force-long-branches} @item --force-long-branches The @samp{--force-long-branches} option forces the translation of relative branches into absolute branches. This option does not affect the optimization associated to the @samp{jbra}, @samp{jbsr} and @samp{jbXX} pseudo opcodes. @cindex @samp{--print-insn-syntax} @item --print-insn-syntax You can use the @samp{--print-insn-syntax} option to obtain the syntax description of the instruction when an error is detected. @cindex @samp{--print-opcodes} @item --print-opcodes The @samp{--print-opcodes} option prints the list of all the instructions with their syntax. The first item of each line represents the instruction name and the rest of the line indicates the possible operands for that instruction. The list is printed in alphabetical order. Once the list is printed @code{@value{AS}} exits. @cindex @samp{--generate-example} @item --generate-example The @samp{--generate-example} option is similar to @samp{--print-opcodes} but it generates an example for each instruction instead. @end table @node M68HC11-Syntax @section Syntax @cindex M68HC11 syntax @cindex syntax, M68HC11 In the M68HC11 syntax, the instruction name comes first and it may be followed by one or several operands (up to three). Operands are separated by comma (@samp{,}). In the normal mode, @code{@value{AS}} will complain if too many operands are specified for a given instruction. In the MRI mode (turned on with @samp{-M} option), it will treat them as comments. Example: @smallexample inx lda #23 bset 2,x #4 brclr *bot #8 foo @end smallexample @cindex line comment character, M68HC11 @cindex M68HC11 line comment character The presence of a @samp{;} character or a @samp{!} character anywhere on a line indicates the start of a comment that extends to the end of that line. A @samp{*} or a @samp{#} character at the start of a line also introduces a line comment, but these characters do not work elsewhere on the line. If the first character of the line is a @samp{#} then as well as starting a comment, the line could also be logical line number directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a preprocessor control command (@pxref{Preprocessing}). @cindex line separator, M68HC11 @cindex statement separator, M68HC11 @cindex M68HC11 line separator The M68HC11 assembler does not currently support a line separator character. @cindex M68HC11 addressing modes @cindex addressing modes, M68HC11 The following addressing modes are understood for 68HC11 and 68HC12: @table @dfn @item Immediate @samp{#@var{number}} @item Address Register @samp{@var{number},X}, @samp{@var{number},Y} The @var{number} may be omitted in which case 0 is assumed. @item Direct Addressing mode @samp{*@var{symbol}}, or @samp{*@var{digits}} @item Absolute @samp{@var{symbol}}, or @samp{@var{digits}} @end table The M68HC12 has other more complex addressing modes. All of them are supported and they are represented below: @table @dfn @item Constant Offset Indexed Addressing Mode @samp{@var{number},@var{reg}} The @var{number} may be omitted in which case 0 is assumed. The register can be either @samp{X}, @samp{Y}, @samp{SP} or @samp{PC}. The assembler will use the smaller post-byte definition according to the constant value (5-bit constant offset, 9-bit constant offset or 16-bit constant offset). If the constant is not known by the assembler it will use the 16-bit constant offset post-byte and the value will be resolved at link time. @item Offset Indexed Indirect @samp{[@var{number},@var{reg}]} The register can be either @samp{X}, @samp{Y}, @samp{SP} or @samp{PC}. @item Auto Pre-Increment/Pre-Decrement/Post-Increment/Post-Decrement @samp{@var{number},-@var{reg}} @samp{@var{number},+@var{reg}} @samp{@var{number},@var{reg}-} @samp{@var{number},@var{reg}+} The number must be in the range @samp{-8}..@samp{+8} and must not be 0. The register can be either @samp{X}, @samp{Y}, @samp{SP} or @samp{PC}. @item Accumulator Offset @samp{@var{acc},@var{reg}} The accumulator register can be either @samp{A}, @samp{B} or @samp{D}. The register can be either @samp{X}, @samp{Y}, @samp{SP} or @samp{PC}. @item Accumulator D offset indexed-indirect @samp{[D,@var{reg}]} The register can be either @samp{X}, @samp{Y}, @samp{SP} or @samp{PC}. @end table For example: @smallexample ldab 1024,sp ldd [10,x] orab 3,+x stab -2,y- ldx a,pc sty [d,sp] @end smallexample @node M68HC11-Modifiers @section Symbolic Operand Modifiers @cindex M68HC11 modifiers @cindex syntax, M68HC11 The assembler supports several modifiers when using symbol addresses in 68HC11 and 68HC12 instruction operands. The general syntax is the following: @smallexample %modifier(symbol) @end smallexample @table @code @cindex symbol modifiers @item %addr This modifier indicates to the assembler and linker to use the 16-bit physical address corresponding to the symbol. This is intended to be used on memory window systems to map a symbol in the memory bank window. If the symbol is in a memory expansion part, the physical address corresponds to the symbol address within the memory bank window. If the symbol is not in a memory expansion part, this is the symbol address (using or not using the %addr modifier has no effect in that case). @item %page This modifier indicates to use the memory page number corresponding to the symbol. If the symbol is in a memory expansion part, its page number is computed by the linker as a number used to map the page containing the symbol in the memory bank window. If the symbol is not in a memory expansion part, the page number is 0. @item %hi This modifier indicates to use the 8-bit high part of the physical address of the symbol. @item %lo This modifier indicates to use the 8-bit low part of the physical address of the symbol. @end table For example a 68HC12 call to a function @samp{foo_example} stored in memory expansion part could be written as follows: @smallexample call %addr(foo_example),%page(foo_example) @end smallexample and this is equivalent to @smallexample call foo_example @end smallexample And for 68HC11 it could be written as follows: @smallexample ldab #%page(foo_example) stab _page_switch jsr %addr(foo_example) @end smallexample @node M68HC11-Directives @section Assembler Directives @cindex assembler directives, M68HC11 @cindex assembler directives, M68HC12 @cindex M68HC11 assembler directives @cindex M68HC12 assembler directives The 68HC11 and 68HC12 version of @code{@value{AS}} have the following specific assembler directives: @table @code @item .relax @cindex assembler directive .relax, M68HC11 @cindex M68HC11 assembler directive .relax The relax directive is used by the @samp{GNU Compiler} to emit a specific relocation to mark a group of instructions for linker relaxation. The sequence of instructions within the group must be known to the linker so that relaxation can be performed. @item .mode [mshort|mlong|mshort-double|mlong-double] @cindex assembler directive .mode, M68HC11 @cindex M68HC11 assembler directive .mode This directive specifies the ABI. It overrides the @samp{-mshort}, @samp{-mlong}, @samp{-mshort-double} and @samp{-mlong-double} options. @item .far @var{symbol} @cindex assembler directive .far, M68HC11 @cindex M68HC11 assembler directive .far This directive marks the symbol as a @samp{far} symbol meaning that it uses a @samp{call/rtc} calling convention as opposed to @samp{jsr/rts}. During a final link, the linker will identify references to the @samp{far} symbol and will verify the proper calling convention. @item .interrupt @var{symbol} @cindex assembler directive .interrupt, M68HC11 @cindex M68HC11 assembler directive .interrupt This directive marks the symbol as an interrupt entry point. This information is then used by the debugger to correctly unwind the frame across interrupts. @item .xrefb @var{symbol} @cindex assembler directive .xrefb, M68HC11 @cindex M68HC11 assembler directive .xrefb This directive is defined for compatibility with the @samp{Specification for Motorola 8 and 16-Bit Assembly Language Input Standard} and is ignored. @end table @node M68HC11-Float @section Floating Point @cindex floating point, M68HC11 @cindex M68HC11 floating point Packed decimal (P) format floating literals are not supported.

They expand to the shortest branch instruction that reach the target. Generally these mnemonics are made by prepending @samp{j} to the start of Motorola mnemonic. These pseudo opcodes are not affected by the @samp{--short-branches} or @samp{--force-long-branches} options. The following table summarizes the pseudo-operations. @smallexample Displacement Width +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Options | | --short-branches --force-long-branches | +--------------------------+----------------------------------+ Op |BYTE WORD | BYTE WORD | +--------------------------+----------------------------------+ bsr | bsr | jsr | bra | bra | jmp | jbsr | bsr jsr | bsr jsr | jbra | bra jmp | bra jmp | bXX | bXX | bNX +3; jmp | jbXX | bXX bNX +3; | bXX bNX +3; jmp | | jmp | | +--------------------------+----------------------------------+ XX: condition NX: negative of condition XX @end smallexample @table @code @item jbsr @itemx jbra These are the simplest jump pseudo-operations; they always map to one particular machine instruction, depending on the displacement to the branch target. @item jb@var{XX} Here, @samp{jb@var{XX}} stands for an entire family of pseudo-operations, where @var{XX} is a conditional branch or condition-code test. The full list of pseudo-ops in this family is: @smallexample jbcc jbeq jbge jbgt jbhi jbvs jbpl jblo jbcs jbne jblt jble jbls jbvc jbmi @end smallexample For the cases of non-PC relative displacements and long displacements, @code{@value{AS}} issues a longer code fragment in terms of @var{NX}, the opposite condition to @var{XX}.
