17 @code{@value{AS}} can assemble code for several different members of
18 the Renesas M32C family. Normally the default is to assemble code for
19 the M16C microprocessor. The @code{-m32c} option may be used to
20 change the default to the M32C microprocessor.
23 * M32C-Opts:: M32C Options
24 * M32C-Syntax:: M32C Syntax
33 The Renesas M32C version of @code{@value{AS}} has these
34 machine-dependent options:
38 @cindex @samp{-m32c} option, M32C
39 @cindex architecture options, M32C
40 @cindex M32C architecture option
41 Assemble M32C instructions.
44 @cindex @samp{-m16c} option, M16C
45 @cindex architecture options, M16C
46 @cindex M16C architecture option
47 Assemble M16C instructions (default).
50 Enable support for link-time relaxations.
53 Support H'00 style hex constants in addition to 0x00 style.

68 @cindex M32C modifiers
69 @cindex modifiers, M32C
71 The assembler supports several modifiers when using symbol addresses
72 in M32C instruction operands. The general syntax is the following:
79 @cindex symbol modifiers
84 These modifiers override the assembler's assumptions about how big a
85 symbol's address is. Normally, when it sees an operand like
86 @samp{sym[a0]} it assumes @samp{sym} may require the widest
87 displacement field (16 bits for @samp{-m16c}, 24 bits for
88 @samp{-m32c}). These modifiers tell it to assume the address will fit
89 in an 8 or 16 bit (respectively) unsigned displacement. Note that, of
90 course, if it doesn't actually fit you will get linker errors. Example:
93 mov.w %dsp8(sym)[a0],r1
94 mov.b #0,%dsp8(sym)[a0]
99 This modifier allows you to load bits 16 through 23 of a 24 bit
100 address into an 8 bit register. This is useful with, for example, the
101 M16C @samp{smovf} instruction, which expects a 20 bit address in
102 @samp{r1h} and @samp{a0}. Example:
112 Likewise, this modifier allows you to load bits 0 through 15 of a 24
113 bit address into a 16 bit register.
117 This modifier allows you to load bits 16 through 31 of a 32 bit
118 address into a 16 bit register. While the M32C family only has 24
119 bits of address space, it does support addresses in pairs of 16 bit
120 registers (like @samp{a1a0} for the @samp{lde} instruction). This
121 modifier is for loading the upper half in such cases. Example:
133 @subsection Special Characters
135 @cindex line comment character, M32C
136 @cindex M32C line comment character
137 The presence of a @samp{;} character on a line indicates the start of
138 a comment that extends to the end of that line.
140 If a @samp{#} appears as the first character of a line, the whole line
141 is treated as a comment, but in this case the line can also be a
142 logical line number directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a
143 preprocessor control command (@pxref{Preprocessing}).
145 @cindex line separator, M32C
146 @cindex statement separator, M32C
147 @cindex M32C line separator
148 The @samp{|} character can be used to separate statements on the same
