@cindex @code{mlink-relax} command-line option, PRU
@item -mlink-relax
Assume that LD would optimize LDI32 instructions by checking the upper
16 bits of the @var{expression}. If they are all zeros, then LD would
shorten the LDI32 instruction to a single LDI. In such case @code{@value{AS}}
will output DIFF relocations for diff expressions.

@cindex @code{mno-link-relax} command-line option, PRU
@item -mno-link-relax
Assume that LD would not optimize LDI32 instructions. As a consequence,
DIFF relocations will not be emitted.

@cindex @code{mno-warn-regname-label} command-line option, PRU
@item -mno-warn-regname-label
Do not warn if a label name matches a register name. Usually assembler
programmers will want this warning to be emitted. C compilers may want
to turn this off.

@cindex @code{pmem} directive, PRU
@item %pmem(@var{expression})
Convert @var{expression} from byte-address to a
word-address.  In other words, shift right by two.

@item %label(@var{expression})
Mark the given operand as a label. This is useful if you need to jump to
a label that matches a register name.

    jmp r1		; Will jump to register R1
    jmp %label(r1)	; Will jump to label r1

@table @code

@cindex @code{align} directive, PRU
@item .align @var{expression} [, @var{expression}]
This is the generic @code{.align} directive, however
this aligns to a power of two.

@cindex @code{word} directive, PRU
@item .word @var{expression}
Create an aligned constant 4 bytes in size.

@cindex @code{dword} directive, PRU
@item .dword @var{expression}
Create an aligned constant 8 bytes in size.

@cindex @code{2byte} directive, PRU
@item .2byte @var{expression}
Create an unaligned constant 2 bytes in size.

@cindex @code{4byte} directive, PRU
@item .4byte @var{expression}
Create an unaligned constant 4 bytes in size.

@cindex @code{8byte} directive, PRU
@item .8byte @var{expression}
Create an unaligned constant 8 bytes in size.

@cindex @code{16byte} directive, PRU
@item .16byte @var{expression}
Create an unaligned constant 16 bytes in size.

@cindex @code{set no_warn_regname_label} directive, PRU
@item .set no_warn_regname_label
Do not output warnings when a label name matches a register name. Equivalent
to passing the @code{-mno-warn-regname-label} command-line option.

@cindex PRU opcodes
@cindex opcodes for PRU
@code{@value{AS}} implements all the standard PRU core V3 opcodes in the
original pasm assembler.  Older cores are not supported by @code{@value{AS}}.

GAS also implements the LDI32 pseudo instruction for loading a 32-bit
immediate value into a register.
