29 @cindex M680x0 options
30 The Motorola 680x0 version of @code{@value{AS}} has a few machine
31 dependent options:
32
33 @table @samp
34
35 @cindex @samp{-l} option, M680x0
36 @item -l
37 You can use the @samp{-l} option to shorten the size of references to undefined
38 symbols. If you do not use the @samp{-l} option, references to undefined
39 symbols are wide enough for a full @code{long} (32 bits). (Since
40 @code{@value{AS}} cannot know where these symbols end up, @code{@value{AS}} can
41 only allocate space for the linker to fill in later. Since @code{@value{AS}}
42 does not know how far away these symbols are, it allocates as much space as it
43 can.) If you use this option, the references are only one word wide (16 bits).
44 This may be useful if you want the object file to be as small as possible, and
45 you know that the relevant symbols are always less than 17 bits away.
46
47 @cindex @samp{--register-prefix-optional} option, M680x0
48 @item --register-prefix-optional
49 For some configurations, especially those where the compiler normally
50 does not prepend an underscore to the names of user variables, the
51 assembler requires a @samp{%} before any use of a register name. This
52 is intended to let the assembler distinguish between C variables and
53 functions named @samp{a0} through @samp{a7}, and so on. The @samp{%} is
54 always accepted, but is not required for certain configurations, notably
55 @samp{sun3}. The @samp{--register-prefix-optional} option may be used
56 to permit omitting the @samp{%} even for configurations for which it is
57 normally required. If this is done, it will generally be impossible to
58 refer to C variables and functions with the same names as register
59 names.
60
61 @cindex @samp{--bitwise-or} option, M680x0
62 @item --bitwise-or
63 Normally the character @samp{|} is treated as a comment character, which
64 means that it can not be used in expressions. The @samp{--bitwise-or}
65 option turns @samp{|} into a normal character. In this mode, you must
66 either use C style comments, or start comments with a @samp{#} character
67 at the beginning of a line.
68
69 @cindex @samp{--base-size-default-16}
70 @cindex @samp{--base-size-default-32}
71 @item --base-size-default-16 --base-size-default-32
72 If you use an addressing mode with a base register without specifying
73 the size, @code{@value{AS}} will normally use the full 32 bit value.
74 For example, the addressing mode @samp{%a0@@(%d0)} is equivalent to
75 @samp{%a0@@(%d0:l)}. You may use the @samp{--base-size-default-16}
76 option to tell @code{@value{AS}} to default to using the 16 bit value.
77 In this case, @samp{%a0@@(%d0)} is equivalent to @samp{%a0@@(%d0:w)}.
78 You may use the @samp{--base-size-default-32} option to restore the
79 default behaviour.
80
81 @cindex @samp{--disp-size-default-16}
82 @cindex @samp{--disp-size-default-32}
83 @item --disp-size-default-16 --disp-size-default-32
84 If you use an addressing mode with a displacement, and the value of the
85 displacement is not known, @code{@value{AS}} will normally assume that
86 the value is 32 bits. For example, if the symbol @samp{disp} has not
87 been defined, @code{@value{AS}} will assemble the addressing mode
88 @samp{%a0@@(disp,%d0)} as though @samp{disp} is a 32 bit value. You may
89 use the @samp{--disp-size-default-16} option to tell @code{@value{AS}}
90 to instead assume that the displacement is 16 bits. In this case,
91 @code{@value{AS}} will assemble @samp{%a0@@(disp,%d0)} as though
92 @samp{disp} is a 16 bit value. You may use the
93 @samp{--disp-size-default-32} option to restore the default behaviour.
94
95 @cindex @samp{--pcrel}
96 @item --pcrel
97 Always keep branches PC-relative. In the M680x0 architecture all branches
98 are defined as PC-relative. However, on some processors they are limited
99 to word displacements maximum. When @code{@value{AS}} needs a long branch
100 that is not available, it normally emits an absolute jump instead. This
101 option disables this substitution. When this option is given and no long
102 branches are available, only word branches will be emitted. An error
103 message will be generated if a word branch cannot reach its target. This
104 option has no effect on 68020 and other processors that have long branches.

111 @code{@value{AS}} can assemble code for several different members of the
112 Motorola 680x0 family. The default depends upon how @code{@value{AS}}
113 was configured when it was built; normally, the default is to assemble
114 code for the 68020 microprocessor. The following options may be used to
115 change the default. These options control which instructions and
116 addressing modes are permitted. The members of the 680x0 family are
117 very similar. For detailed information about the differences, see the
118 Motorola manuals.

174 floating point instructions.
175
176 @item -mno-68881
177 Do not assemble 68881 floating point instructions. This is the default
178 for 68000 and the 68010. The 68040 and 68060 always support floating
179 point instructions, even if this option is used.
180
181 @item -m68851
182 Assemble 68851 MMU instructions. This is the default for the 68020,
183 68030, and 68060. The 68040 accepts a somewhat different set of MMU
184 instructions; @samp{-m68851} and @samp{-m68040} should not be used
185 together.
186
187 @item -mno-68851
188 Do not assemble 68851 MMU instructions. This is the default for the
189 68000, 68010, and the CPU32. The 68040 accepts a somewhat different set
190 of MMU instructions.

270 @cindex alternate syntax for the 680x0
271
272 The standard Motorola syntax for this chip differs from the syntax
273 already discussed (@pxref{M68K-Syntax,,Syntax}). @code{@value{AS}} can
274 accept Motorola syntax for operands, even if @sc{mit} syntax is used for
275 other operands in the same instruction. The two kinds of syntax are
276 fully compatible.
277
278 In the following table @var{apc} stands for any of the address registers
279 (@samp{%a0} through @samp{%a7}), the program counter (@samp{%pc}), the
280 zero-address relative to the program counter (@samp{%zpc}), or a
281 suppressed address register (@samp{%za0} through @samp{%za7}). The use
282 of @var{size} means one of @samp{w} or @samp{l}, and it may always be
283 omitted along with the leading dot. The use of @var{scale} means one of
284 @samp{1}, @samp{2}, @samp{4}, or @samp{8}, and it may always be omitted
285 along with the leading asterisk.
286
287 The following additional addressing modes are understood:

304
305 The @var{number} may also appear within the parentheses, as in
306 @samp{(@var{number},@var{%a0})}. When used with the @var{pc}, the
307 @var{number} may be omitted (with an address register, omitting the
308 @var{number} produces Address Register Indirect mode).

417 @cindex M680x0 branch improvement
418 Certain pseudo opcodes are permitted for branch instructions.
419 They expand to the shortest branch instruction that reach the
420 target. Generally these mnemonics are made by substituting @samp{j} for
421 @samp{b} at the start of a Motorola mnemonic.
422
423 The following table summarizes the pseudo-operations. A @code{*} flags
424 cases that are more fully described after the table:

444
445 @table @code
446 @item jbsr
447 @itemx jra
448 These are the simplest jump pseudo-operations; they always map to one
449 particular machine instruction, depending on the displacement to the
450 branch target. This instruction will be a byte or word branch is that
451 is sufficient. Otherwise, a long branch will be emitted if available.
452 If no long branches are available and the @samp{--pcrel} option is not
453 given, an absolute long jump will be emitted instead. If no long
454 branches are available, the @samp{--pcrel} option is given, and a word
455 branch cannot reach the target, an error message is generated.
456
457 In addition to standard branch operands, @code{@value{AS}} allows these
458 pseudo-operations to have all operands that are allowed for jsr and jmp,
459 substituting these instructions if the operand given is not valid for a
460 branch instruction.
461
462 @item j@var{XX}
463 Here, @samp{j@var{XX}} stands for an entire family of pseudo-operations,
464 where @var{XX} is a conditional branch or condition-code test. The full
465 list of pseudo-ops in this family is:
466 @smallexample
467 jhi jls jcc jcs jne jeq jvc
468 jvs jpl jmi jge jlt jgt jle
469 @end smallexample
470
471 Usually, each of these pseudo-operations expands to a single branch
472 instruction. However, if a word branch is not sufficient, no long branches
473 are available, and the @samp{--pcrel} option is not given, @code{@value{AS}}
474 issues a longer code fragment in terms of @var{NX}, the opposite condition
475 to @var{XX}. For example, under these conditions:
476 @smallexample
477 j@var{XX} foo
478 @end smallexample
479 gives
480 @smallexample
481 b@var{NX}s oof
482 jmp foo
483 oof:
484 @end smallexample
485
486 @item db@var{XX}
487 The full family of pseudo-operations covered here is
488 @smallexample
489 dbhi dbls dbcc dbcs dbne dbeq dbvc
490 dbvs dbpl dbmi dbge dblt dbgt dble
491 dbf dbra dbt
492 @end smallexample
493
494 Motorola @samp{db@var{XX}} instructions allow word displacements only. When
495 a word displacement is sufficient, each of these pseudo-operations expands
496 to the corresponding Motorola instruction. When a word displacement is not
497 sufficient and long branches are available, when the source reads
498 @samp{db@var{XX} foo}, @code{@value{AS}} emits

540 The immediate character is @samp{#} for Sun compatibility. The
541 line-comment character is @samp{|} (unless the @samp{--bitwise-or}
542 option is used). If a @samp{#} appears at the beginning of a line, it
543 is treated as a comment unless it looks like @samp{# line file}, in
544 which case it is treated normally.
