@section Options
@cindex V850 options (none)
@cindex options for V850 (none)
@code{@value{AS}} supports the following additional command-line options
for the V850 processor family:

@cindex command-line options, V850
@cindex V850 command-line options
@table @code

@cindex @code{-wsigned_overflow} command-line option, V850
@item -wsigned_overflow
Causes warnings to be produced when signed immediate values overflow the
space available for then within their opcodes.  By default this option
is disabled as it is possible to receive spurious warnings due to using
exact bit patterns as immediate constants.

@cindex @code{-wunsigned_overflow} command-line option, V850
@item -wunsigned_overflow
Causes warnings to be produced when unsigned immediate values overflow
the space available for then within their opcodes.  By default this
option is disabled as it is possible to receive spurious warnings due to
using exact bit patterns as immediate constants.

@cindex @code{-mv850} command-line option, V850
@item -mv850
Specifies that the assembled code should be marked as being targeted at
the V850 processor.  This allows the linker to detect attempts to link
such code with code assembled for other processors.

@cindex @code{-mv850e} command-line option, V850
@item -mv850e
Specifies that the assembled code should be marked as being targeted at
the V850E processor.  This allows the linker to detect attempts to link
such code with code assembled for other processors.

@cindex @code{-mv850e1} command-line option, V850
@item -mv850e1
Specifies that the assembled code should be marked as being targeted at
the V850E1 processor.  This allows the linker to detect attempts to link
such code with code assembled for other processors.

@cindex @code{-mv850any} command-line option, V850
@item -mv850any
Specifies that the assembled code should be marked as being targeted at
the V850 processor but support instructions that are specific to the
extended variants of the process.  This allows the production of
binaries that contain target specific code, but which are also intended
to be used in a generic fashion.  For example libgcc.a contains generic
routines used by the code produced by GCC for all versions of the v850
architecture, together with support routines only used by the V850E
architecture.

@cindex @code{-mv850e2} command-line option, V850
@item -mv850e2
Specifies that the assembled code should be marked as being targeted at
the V850E2 processor.  This allows the linker to detect attempts to link
such code with code assembled for other processors.

@cindex @code{-mv850e2v3} command-line option, V850
@item -mv850e2v3
Specifies that the assembled code should be marked as being targeted at
the V850E2V3 processor.  This allows the linker to detect attempts to link
such code with code assembled for other processors.

@cindex @code{-mv850e2v4} command-line option, V850
@item -mv850e2v4
This is an alias for @option{-mv850e3v5}.

@cindex @code{-mv850e3v5} command-line option, V850
@item -mv850e3v5
Specifies that the assembled code should be marked as being targeted at
the V850E3V5 processor.  This allows the linker to detect attempts to link
such code with code assembled for other processors.

@cindex @code{-mrelax} command-line option, V850
@item -mrelax
Enables relaxation.  This allows the .longcall and .longjump pseudo
ops to be used in the assembler source code.  These ops label sections
of code which are either a long function call or a long branch.  The
assembler will then flag these sections of code and the linker will
attempt to relax them.

@cindex @code{-mgcc-abi} command-line option, V850
@item -mgcc-abi
Marks the generated object file as supporting the old GCC ABI.

@cindex @code{-mrh850-abi} command-line option, V850
@item -mrh850-abi
Marks the generated object file as supporting the RH850 ABI.  This is
the default.

@cindex @code{-m8byte-align} command-line option, V850
@item -m8byte-align
Marks the generated object file as supporting a maximum 64-bits of
alignment for variables defined in the source code.

@cindex @code{-m4byte-align} command-line option, V850
@item -m4byte-align
Marks the generated object file as supporting a maximum 32-bits of
alignment for variables defined in the source code.  This is the
default.

@cindex @code{-msoft-float} command-line option, V850
@item -msoft-float
Marks the generated object file as not using any floating point
instructions - and hence can be linked with other V850 binaries
that do or do not use floating point.  This is the default for
binaries for architectures earlier than the @code{e2v3}.

@cindex @code{-mhard-float} command-line option, V850
@item -mhard-float
Marks the generated object file as one that uses floating point
instructions - and hence can only be linked with other V850 binaries
that use the same kind of floating point instructions, or with
binaries that do not use floating point at all.  This is the default
for binaries the @code{e2v3} and later architectures.

@subsection Special Characters

@cindex line comment character, V850
@cindex V850 line comment character
@samp{#} is the line comment character.  If a @samp{#} appears as the
first character of a line, the whole line is treated as a comment, but
in this case the line can also be a logical line number directive
(@pxref{Comments}) or a preprocessor control command
(@pxref{Preprocessing}).

Two dashes (@samp{--}) can also be used to start a line comment.

@cindex line separator, V850
@cindex statement separator, V850
@cindex V850 line separator

The @samp{;} character can be used to separate statements on the same
line.

@node V850 Opcodes
@section Opcodes

@cindex V850 opcodes
@cindex opcodes for V850
@code{@value{AS}} implements all the standard V850 opcodes.

@code{@value{AS}} also implements the following pseudo ops:

@table @code

@cindex @code{hi0} pseudo-op, V850
@item hi0()
Computes the higher 16 bits of the given expression and stores it into
the immediate operand field of the given instruction.  For example:

    @samp{mulhi hi0(here - there), r5, r6}

computes the difference between the address of labels 'here' and
'there', takes the upper 16 bits of this difference, shifts it down 16
bits and then multiplies it by the lower 16 bits in register 5, putting
the result into register 6.

@cindex @code{lo} pseudo-op, V850
@item lo()
Computes the lower 16 bits of the given expression and stores it into
the immediate operand field of the given instruction.  For example:

    @samp{addi lo(here - there), r5, r6}

computes the difference between the address of labels 'here' and
'there', takes the lower 16 bits of this difference and adds it to
register 5, putting the result into register 6.

@cindex @code{hi} pseudo-op, V850
@item hi()
Computes the higher 16 bits of the given expression and then adds the
value of the most significant bit of the lower 16 bits of the expression
and stores the result into the immediate operand field of the given
instruction.  For example the following code can be used to compute the
address of the label 'here' and store it into register 6:

    @samp{movhi hi(here), r0, r6}
    @samp{movea lo(here), r6, r6}

The reason for this special behaviour is that movea performs a sign
extension on its immediate operand.  So for example if the address of
'here' was 0xFFFFFFFF then without the special behaviour of the hi()
pseudo-op the movhi instruction would put 0xFFFF0000 into r6, then the
movea instruction would takes its immediate operand, 0xFFFF, sign extend
it to 32 bits, 0xFFFFFFFF, and then add it into r6 giving 0xFFFEFFFF
which is wrong (the fifth nibble is E).  With the hi() pseudo op adding
in the top bit of the lo() pseudo op, the movhi instruction actually
stores 0 into r6 (0xFFFF + 1 = 0x0000), so that the movea instruction
stores 0xFFFFFFFF into r6 - the right value.

@cindex @code{hilo} pseudo-op, V850
@item hilo()
Computes the 32 bit value of the given expression and stores it into
the immediate operand field of the given instruction (which must be a
mov instruction).  For example:

    @samp{mov hilo(here), r6}

computes the absolute address of label 'here' and puts the result into
register 6.

@cindex @code{sdaoff} pseudo-op, V850
@item sdaoff()
Computes the offset of the named variable from the start of the Small
Data Area (whose address is held in register 4, the GP register) and
stores the result as a 16 bit signed value in the immediate operand
field of the given instruction.  For example:

      @samp{ld.w sdaoff(_a_variable)[gp],r6}

loads the contents of the location pointed to by the label '_a_variable'
into register 6, provided that the label is located somewhere within +/-
32K of the address held in the GP register.  [Note the linker assumes
that the GP register contains a fixed address set to the address of the
label called '__gp'.  This can either be set up automatically by the
linker, or specifically set by using the @samp{--defsym __gp=<value>}
command-line option].

@cindex @code{tdaoff} pseudo-op, V850
@item tdaoff()
Computes the offset of the named variable from the start of the Tiny
Data Area (whose address is held in register 30, the EP register) and
stores the result as a 4,5, 7 or 8 bit unsigned value in the immediate
operand field of the given instruction.  For example:

      @samp{sld.w tdaoff(_a_variable)[ep],r6}

loads the contents of the location pointed to by the label '_a_variable'
into register 6, provided that the label is located somewhere within +256
bytes of the address held in the EP register.  [Note the linker assumes
that the EP register contains a fixed address set to the address of the
label called '__ep'.  This can either be set up automatically by the
linker, or specifically set by using the @samp{--defsym __ep=<value>}
command-line option].

@cindex @code{zdaoff} pseudo-op, V850
@item zdaoff()
Computes the offset of the named variable from address 0 and stores the
result as a 16 bit signed value in the immediate operand field of the
given instruction.  For example:

      @samp{movea zdaoff(_a_variable),zero,r6}

puts the address of the label '_a_variable' into register 6, assuming
that the label is somewhere within the first 32K of memory.  (Strictly
speaking it also possible to access the last 32K of memory as well, as
the offsets are signed).

@cindex @code{ctoff} pseudo-op, V850
@item ctoff()
Computes the offset of the named variable from the start of the Call
Table Area (whose address is held in system register 20, the CTBP
register) and stores the result a 6 or 16 bit unsigned value in the
immediate field of then given instruction or piece of data.  For
example:

     @samp{callt ctoff(table_func1)}

will put the call the function whose address is held in the call table
at the location labeled 'table_func1'.

@cindex @code{longcall} pseudo-op, V850
@item .longcall @code{name}
Indicates that the following sequence of instructions is a long call
to function @code{name}.  The linker will attempt to shorten this call
sequence if @code{name} is within a 22bit offset of the call.  Only
valid if the @code{-mrelax} command-line switch has been enabled.

@cindex @code{longjump} pseudo-op, V850
@item .longjump @code{name}
Indicates that the following sequence of instructions is a long jump
to label @code{name}.  The linker will attempt to shorten this code
sequence if @code{name} is within a 22bit offset of the jump.  Only
valid if the @code{-mrelax} command-line switch has been enabled.
