* ARC-Regs:: Register Names
@end menu
@node ARC-Chars
@subsection Special Characters
@table @code
@item %
@cindex register name prefix character, ARC
@cindex ARC register name prefix character
A register name can optionally be prefixed by a @samp{%} character. So
register @code{%r0} is equivalent to @code{r0} in the assembly code.
@item #
@cindex line comment character, ARC
@cindex ARC line comment character
The presence of a @samp{#} character within a line (but not at the
start of a line) indicates the start of a comment that extends to the
end of the current line.
@emph{Note:} if a line starts with a @samp{#} character then it can
also be a logical line number directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a
preprocessor control command (@pxref{Preprocessing}).
@item @@
@cindex symbol prefix character, ARC
@cindex ARC symbol prefix character
Prefixing an operand with an @samp{@@} specifies that the operand is a
symbol and not a register. This is how the assembler disambiguates
the use of an ARC register name as a symbol. So the instruction
@example
mov r0, @@r0
@end example
moves the address of symbol @code{r0} into register @code{r0}.
@item `
@cindex line separator, ARC
@cindex statement separator, ARC
@cindex ARC line separator
The @samp{`} (backtick) character is used to separate statements on a
single line.
@cindex line
@item -
@cindex C preprocessor macro separator, ARC
@cindex ARC C preprocessor macro separator
Used as a separator to obtain a sequence of commands from a C
preprocessor macro.

@node ARC Directives
@section ARC Machine Directives
@cindex machine directives, ARC
@cindex ARC machine directives
The ARC version of @code{@value{AS}} supports the following additional
machine directives:
@table @code
@cindex @code{lcomm} directive
@item .lcomm @var{symbol}, @var{length}[, @var{alignment}]
Reserve @var{length} (an absolute expression) bytes for a local common
denoted by @var{symbol}. The section and value of @var{symbol} are
those of the new local common. The addresses are allocated in the bss
section, so that at run-time the bytes start off zeroed. Since
@var{symbol} is not declared global, it is normally not visible to
@code{@value{LD}}. The optional third parameter, @var{alignment},
specifies the desired alignment of the symbol in the bss section,
specified as a byte boundary (for example, an alignment of 16 means
that the least significant 4 bits of the address should be zero). The
alignment must be an absolute expression, and it must be a power of
two. If no alignment is specified, as will set the alignment to the
largest power of two less than or equal to the size of the symbol, up
to a maximum of 16.
@cindex @code{lcommon} directive, ARC
@item .lcommon @var{symbol}, @var{length}[, @var{alignment}]
The same as @code{lcomm} directive.
@cindex @code{cpu} directive, ARC
@item .cpu @var{cpu}
The @code{.cpu} directive must be followed by the desired core
version. Permitted values for CPU are:
@table @code
@item ARC600
Assemble for the ARC600 instruction set.
@item arc600_norm
Assemble for ARC 600 with norm instructions.
@item arc600_mul64

@item hs38
Assemble for ARC HS38 instruction set.
@item hs38_linux
Assemble for ARC HS38 with floating point support on.
@end table
Note: the @code{.cpu} directive overrides the command line option
@code{-mcpu=@var{cpu}}; a warning is emitted when the version is not
consistent between the two.
@item .extAuxRegister @var{name}, @var{addr}, @var{mode}
@cindex @code{extAuxRegister} directive, ARC
Auxiliary registers can be defined in the assembler source code by
using this directive. The first parameter, @var{name}, is the name of the
new auxiliary register. The second parameter, @var{addr}, is
address the of the auxiliary register. The third parameter,
@var{mode}, specifies whether the register is readable and/or writable
and is one of:
@table @code
@item r
Read only;
@item w
Write only;
@item r|w
Read and write.
@end table
For example:
@example
.extAuxRegister mulhi, 0x12, w
@end example
specifies a write only extension auxiliary register, @var{mulhi} at
address 0x12.
@item .extCondCode @var{suffix}, @var{val}
@cindex @code{extCondCode} directive, ARC
ARC supports extensible condition codes. This directive defines a new
condition code, to be known by the suffix, @var{suffix} and will
depend on the value, @var{val} in the condition code.
For example:
@example
.extCondCode is_busy,0x14
add.is_busy r1,r2,r3
@end example
will only execute the @code{add} instruction if the condition code
value is 0x14.
@item .extCoreRegister @var{name}, @var{regnum}, @var{mode}, @var{shortcut}
@cindex @code{extCoreRegister} directive, ARC
Specifies an extension core register named @var{name} as a synonym for
the register numbered @var{regnum}. The register number must be
between 32 and 59. The third argument, @var{mode}, indicates whether
the register is readable and/or writable and is one of:
@table @code
@item r
Read only;
@item w
Write only;
@item r|w
Read and write.
@end table
The final parameter, @var{shortcut} indicates whether the register has
a short cut in the pipeline. The valid values are:
@table @code
@item can_shortcut
The register has a short cut in the pipeline;
@item cannot_shortcut
The register does not have a short cut in the pipeline.
@end table
For example:
@example
.extCoreRegister mlo, 57, r , can_shortcut
@end example
defines a read only extension core register, @code{mlo}, which is
register 57, and can short cut the pipeline.
@item .extInstruction @var{name}, @var{opcode}, @var{subopcode}, @var{suffixclass}, @var{syntaxclass}
@cindex @code{extInstruction} directive, ARC
ARC allows the user to specify extension instructions. These
extension instructions are not macros; the assembler creates encodings
for use of these instructions according to the specification by the
user.
The first argument, @var{name}, gives the name of the instruction.
The second argument, @var{opcode}, is the opcode to be used (bits 31:27
in the encoding).
The third argument, @var{subopcode}, is the sub-opcode to be used, but
the correct value also depends on the fifth argument,
@var{syntaxclass}
The fourth argument, @var{suffixclass}, determines the kinds of
suffixes to be allowed. Valid values are:
@table @code
@item SUFFIX_NONE
No suffixes are permitted;
@item SUFFIX_COND
Conditional suffixes are permitted;
@item SUFFIX_FLAG
Flag setting suffixes are permitted.
@item SUFFIX_COND|SUFFIX_FLAG
Both conditional and flag setting suffices are permitted.
@end table
The fifth and final argument, @var{syntaxclass}, determines the syntax
class for the instruction. It can have the following values:
@table @code
@item SYNTAX_2OP
Two Operand Instruction;
@item SYNTAX_3OP
Three Operand Instruction.
@item SYNTAX_1OP
One Operand Instruction.
@item SYNTAX_NOP
No Operand Instruction.
@end table
The syntax class may be followed by @samp{|} and one of the following
modifiers.
@table @code
@item OP1_MUST_BE_IMM
Modifies syntax class @code{SYNTAX_3OP}, specifying that the first
operand of a three-operand instruction must be an immediate (i.e., the
result is discarded). This is usually used to set the flags using
specific instructions and not retain results.
@item OP1_IMM_IMPLIED
Modifies syntax class @code{SYNTAX_20P}, specifying that there is an
implied immediate destination operand which does not appear in the
syntax.
For example, if the source code contains an instruction like:
@example
inst r1,r2
@end example
the first argument is an implied immediate (that is, the result is
discarded). This is the same as though the source code were: inst
0,r1,r2.
@end table
For example, defining a 64-bit multiplier with immediate operands:
@example
.extInstruction mp64, 0x07, 0x2d, SUFFIX_COND|SUFFIX_FLAG,
SYNTAX_3OP|OP1_MUST_BE_IMM
@end example
which specifies an extension instruction named @code{mp64} with 3
operands. It sets the flags and can be used with a condition code,
for which the first operand is an immediate, i.e. equivalent to
discarding the result of the operation.
A two operands instruction variant would be:
@example
.extInstruction mul64, 0x07, 0x2d, SUFFIX_COND,
SYNTAX_2OP|OP1_IMM_IMPLIED
@end example
which describes a two operand instruction with an implicit first
immediate operand. The result of this operation would be discarded.
@cindex @code{.arc_attribute} directive, ARC
@item .arc_attribute @var{tag}, @var{value}
Set the ARC object attribute @var{tag} to @var{value}.
The @var{tag} is either an attribute number, or one of the following:
@code{Tag_ARC_PCS_config}, @code{Tag_ARC_CPU_base},
@code{Tag_ARC_CPU_variation}, @code{Tag_ARC_CPU_name},
@code{Tag_ARC_ABI_rf16}, @code{Tag_ARC_ABI_osver}, @code{Tag_ARC_ABI_sda},
@code{Tag_ARC_ABI_pic}, @code{Tag_ARC_ABI_tls}, @code{Tag_ARC_ABI_enumsize},
@code{Tag_ARC_ABI_exceptions}, @code{Tag_ARC_ABI_double_size},
@code{Tag_ARC_ISA_config}, @code{Tag_ARC_ISA_apex},
@code{Tag_ARC_ISA_mpy_option}
The @var{value} is either a @code{number}, @code{"string"}, or
@code{number, "string"} depending on the tag.
@end table
