@section Assembler options
|
|
|
|
The @sc{mips} configurations of @sc{gnu} @code{@value{AS}} support these
|
|
special options:
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
@cindex @code{-G} option (MIPS)
|
|
@item -G @var{num}
|
|
This option sets the largest size of an object that can be referenced
|
|
implicitly with the @code{gp} register. It is only accepted for targets
|
|
that use @sc{ecoff} format. The default value is 8.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{-EB} option (MIPS)
|
|
@cindex @code{-EL} option (MIPS)
|
|
@cindex MIPS big-endian output
|
|
@cindex MIPS little-endian output
|
|
@cindex big-endian output, MIPS
|
|
@cindex little-endian output, MIPS
|
|
@item -EB
|
|
@itemx -EL
|
|
Any @sc{mips} configuration of @code{@value{AS}} can select big-endian or
|
|
little-endian output at run time (unlike the other @sc{gnu} development
|
|
tools, which must be configured for one or the other). Use @samp{-EB}
|
|
to select big-endian output, and @samp{-EL} for little-endian.
|
|
|
|
@cindex MIPS architecture options

|
|
@itemx -mips64
|
|
@itemx -mips64r2
|
|
Generate code for a particular MIPS Instruction Set Architecture level.
|
|
@samp{-mips1} corresponds to the @sc{r2000} and @sc{r3000} processors,
|
|
@samp{-mips2} to the @sc{r6000} processor, @samp{-mips3} to the
|
|
@sc{r4000} processor, and @samp{-mips4} to the @sc{r8000} and
|
|
@sc{r10000} processors. @samp{-mips5}, @samp{-mips32}, @samp{-mips32r2},
|
|
@samp{-mips64}, and @samp{-mips64r2}
|
|
correspond to generic
|
|
@sc{MIPS V}, @sc{MIPS32}, @sc{MIPS32 Release 2}, @sc{MIPS64},
|
|
and @sc{MIPS64 Release 2}
|
|
ISA processors, respectively. You can also switch
|
|
instruction sets during the assembly; see @ref{MIPS ISA, Directives to
|
|
override the ISA level}.
|
|
|
|
@item -mgp32
|
|
@itemx -mfp32
|
|
Some macros have different expansions for 32-bit and 64-bit registers.
|
|
The register sizes are normally inferred from the ISA and ABI, but these
|
|
flags force a certain group of registers to be treated as 32 bits wide at
|
|
all times. @samp{-mgp32} controls the size of general-purpose registers
|
|
and @samp{-mfp32} controls the size of floating-point registers.
|
|
|
|
On some MIPS variants there is a 32-bit mode flag; when this flag is
|
|
set, 64-bit instructions generate a trap. Also, some 32-bit OSes only
|
|
save the 32-bit registers on a context switch, so it is essential never
|
|
to use the 64-bit registers.
|
|
|
|
@item -mgp64
|
|
Assume that 64-bit general purpose registers are available. This is
|
|
provided in the interests of symmetry with -gp32.
|
|
|
|
@item -mips16
|
|
@itemx -no-mips16
|
|
Generate code for the MIPS 16 processor. This is equivalent to putting
|
|
@samp{.set mips16} at the start of the assembly file. @samp{-no-mips16}
|
|
turns off this option.
|
|
|
|
@item -mips3d
|
|
@itemx -no-mips3d
|
|
Generate code for the MIPS-3D Application Specific Extension.
|
|
This tells the assembler to accept MIPS-3D instructions.
|
|
@samp{-no-mips3d} turns off this option.
|
|
|
|
@item -mdmx
|
|
@itemx -no-mdmx
|
|
Generate code for the MDMX Application Specific Extension.
|
|
This tells the assembler to accept MDMX instructions.
|
|
@samp{-no-mdmx} turns off this option.
|
|
|
|
@item -mfix7000
|
|
@itemx -mno-fix7000
|
|
Cause nops to be inserted if the read of the destination register
|
|
of an mfhi or mflo instruction occurs in the following two instructions.
|
|
|
|
@item -mfix-vr4120
|
|
@itemx -no-mfix-vr4120
|
|
Insert nops to work around certain VR4120 errata. This option is
|
|
intended to be used on GCC-generated code: it is not designed to catch
|
|
all problems in hand-written assembler code.
|
|
|
|
@item -m4010
|
|
@itemx -no-m4010
|
|
Generate code for the LSI @sc{r4010} chip. This tells the assembler to
|
|
accept the @sc{r4010} specific instructions (@samp{addciu}, @samp{ffc},
|
|
etc.), and to not schedule @samp{nop} instructions around accesses to
|
|
the @samp{HI} and @samp{LO} registers. @samp{-no-m4010} turns off this
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
@item -m4650
|
|
@itemx -no-m4650
|
|
Generate code for the MIPS @sc{r4650} chip. This tells the assembler to accept
|
|
the @samp{mad} and @samp{madu} instruction, and to not schedule @samp{nop}
|
|
instructions around accesses to the @samp{HI} and @samp{LO} registers.
|
|
@samp{-no-m4650} turns off this option.
|
|
|
|
@itemx -m3900
|
|
@itemx -no-m3900
|
|
@itemx -m4100
|
|
@itemx -no-m4100
|
|
For each option @samp{-m@var{nnnn}}, generate code for the MIPS
|
|
@sc{r@var{nnnn}} chip. This tells the assembler to accept instructions
|
|
specific to that chip, and to schedule for that chip's hazards.
|
|
|
|
@item -march=@var{cpu}
|
|
Generate code for a particular MIPS cpu. It is exactly equivalent to
|
|
@samp{-m@var{cpu}}, except that there are more value of @var{cpu}
|
|
understood. Valid @var{cpu} value are:

@item -mtune=@var{cpu}
|
|
Schedule and tune for a particular MIPS cpu. Valid @var{cpu} values are
|
|
identical to @samp{-march=@var{cpu}}.
|
|
|
|
@item -mabi=@var{abi}
|
|
Record which ABI the source code uses. The recognized arguments
|
|
are: @samp{32}, @samp{n32}, @samp{o64}, @samp{64} and @samp{eabi}.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{-nocpp} ignored (MIPS)
|
|
@item -nocpp
|
|
This option is ignored. It is accepted for command-line compatibility with
|
|
other assemblers, which use it to turn off C style preprocessing. With
|
|
@sc{gnu} @code{@value{AS}}, there is no need for @samp{-nocpp}, because the
|
|
@sc{gnu} assembler itself never runs the C preprocessor.
|
|
|
|
@item --construct-floats
|
|
@itemx --no-construct-floats
|
|
@cindex --construct-floats
|
|
@cindex --no-construct-floats
|
|
The @code{--no-construct-floats} option disables the construction of
|
|
double width floating point constants by loading the two halves of the
|
|
value into the two single width floating point registers that make up
|
|
the double width register. This feature is useful if the processor
|
|
support the FR bit in its status register, and this bit is known (by
|
|
the programmer) to be set. This bit prevents the aliasing of the double
|
|
width register by the single width registers.
|
|
|
|
By default @code{--construct-floats} is selected, allowing construction
|
|
of these floating point constants.
|
|
|
|
@item --trap
|
|
@itemx --no-break
|
|
@c FIXME! (1) reflect these options (next item too) in option summaries;
|
|
@c (2) stop teasing, say _which_ instructions expanded _how_.
|
|
@code{@value{AS}} automatically macro expands certain division and
|
|
multiplication instructions to check for overflow and division by zero. This
|
|
option causes @code{@value{AS}} to generate code to take a trap exception
|
|
rather than a break exception when an error is detected. The trap instructions
|
|
are only supported at Instruction Set Architecture level 2 and higher.
|
|
|
|
@item --break
|
|
@itemx --no-trap
|
|
Generate code to take a break exception rather than a trap exception when an
|
|
error is detected. This is the default.
|
|
|
|
@item -mpdr
|
|
@itemx -mno-pdr
|
|
Control generation of @code{.pdr} sections. Off by default on IRIX, on
|
|
elsewhere.

@node MIPS Object
|
|
@section MIPS ECOFF object code
|
|
|
|
@cindex ECOFF sections
|
|
@cindex MIPS ECOFF sections
|
|
Assembling for a @sc{mips} @sc{ecoff} target supports some additional sections
|
|
besides the usual @code{.text}, @code{.data} and @code{.bss}. The
|
|
additional sections are @code{.rdata}, used for read-only data,
|
|
@code{.sdata}, used for small data, and @code{.sbss}, used for small
|
|
common objects.
|
|
|
|
@cindex small objects, MIPS ECOFF
|
|
@cindex @code{gp} register, MIPS
|
|
When assembling for @sc{ecoff}, the assembler uses the @code{$gp} (@code{$28})
|
|
register to form the address of a ``small object''. Any object in the
|
|
@code{.sdata} or @code{.sbss} sections is considered ``small'' in this sense.
|
|
For external objects, or for objects in the @code{.bss} section, you can use
|
|
the @code{@value{GCC}} @samp{-G} option to control the size of objects addressed via
|
|
@code{$gp}; the default value is 8, meaning that a reference to any object
|
|
eight bytes or smaller uses @code{$gp}. Passing @samp{-G 0} to
|
|
@code{@value{AS}} prevents it from using the @code{$gp} register on the basis
|
|
of object size (but the assembler uses @code{$gp} for objects in @code{.sdata}
|
|
or @code{sbss} in any case). The size of an object in the @code{.bss} section
|
|
is set by the @code{.comm} or @code{.lcomm} directive that defines it. The
|
|
size of an external object may be set with the @code{.extern} directive. For
|
|
example, @samp{.extern sym,4} declares that the object at @code{sym} is 4 bytes
|
|
in length, whie leaving @code{sym} otherwise undefined.
|
|
|
|
Using small @sc{ecoff} objects requires linker support, and assumes that the
|
|
@code{$gp} register is correctly initialized (normally done automatically by
|
|
the startup code). @sc{mips} @sc{ecoff} assembly code must not modify the
|
|
@code{$gp} register.
|
|
|
|
@node MIPS Stabs
|
|
@section Directives for debugging information
|
|
|
|
@cindex MIPS debugging directives
|
|
@sc{mips} @sc{ecoff} @code{@value{AS}} supports several directives used for
|
|
generating debugging information which are not support by traditional @sc{mips}
|
|
assemblers. These are @code{.def}, @code{.endef}, @code{.dim}, @code{.file},
|
|
@code{.scl}, @code{.size}, @code{.tag}, @code{.type}, @code{.val},
|
|
@code{.stabd}, @code{.stabn}, and @code{.stabs}. The debugging information
|
|
generated by the three @code{.stab} directives can only be read by @sc{gdb},
|
|
not by traditional @sc{mips} debuggers (this enhancement is required to fully
|
|
support C++ debugging). These directives are primarily used by compilers, not
|
|
assembly language programmers!
|
|
|
|
@node MIPS ISA
|
|
@section Directives to override the ISA level
|
|
|
|
@cindex MIPS ISA override
|
|
@kindex @code{.set mips@var{n}}
|
|
@sc{gnu} @code{@value{AS}} supports an additional directive to change
|
|
the @sc{mips} Instruction Set Architecture level on the fly: @code{.set
|
|
mips@var{n}}. @var{n} should be a number from 0 to 5, or 32, 32r2, 64
|
|
or 64r2.
|
|
The values other than 0 make the assembler accept instructions
|
|
for the corresponding @sc{isa} level, from that point on in the
|
|
assembly. @code{.set mips@var{n}} affects not only which instructions
|
|
are permitted, but also how certain macros are expanded. @code{.set
|
|
mips0} restores the @sc{isa} level to its original level: either the
|
|
level you selected with command line options, or the default for your
|
|
configuration. You can use this feature to permit specific @sc{r4000}
|
|
instructions while assembling in 32 bit mode. Use this directive with
|
|
care!
|
|
|
|
The directive @samp{.set mips16} puts the assembler into MIPS 16 mode,
|
|
in which it will assemble instructions for the MIPS 16 processor. Use
|
|
@samp{.set nomips16} to return to normal 32 bit mode.
|
|
|
|
Traditional @sc{mips} assemblers do not support this directive.
|
|
|
|
@node MIPS autoextend
|
|
@section Directives for extending MIPS 16 bit instructions
|
|
|
|
@kindex @code{.set autoextend}
|
|
@kindex @code{.set noautoextend}
|
|
By default, MIPS 16 instructions are automatically extended to 32 bits
|
|
when necessary. The directive @samp{.set noautoextend} will turn this
|
|
off. When @samp{.set noautoextend} is in effect, any 32 bit instruction
|
|
must be explicitly extended with the @samp{.e} modifier (e.g.,
|
|
@samp{li.e $4,1000}). The directive @samp{.set autoextend} may be used
|
|
to once again automatically extend instructions when necessary.
|
|
|
|
This directive is only meaningful when in MIPS 16 mode. Traditional
|
|
@sc{mips} assemblers do not support this directive.
|
|
|
|
@node MIPS insn
|
|
@section Directive to mark data as an instruction
|
|
|
|
@kindex @code{.insn}
|
|
The @code{.insn} directive tells @code{@value{AS}} that the following
|
|
data is actually instructions. This makes a difference in MIPS 16 mode:
|
|
when loading the address of a label which precedes instructions,
|
|
@code{@value{AS}} automatically adds 1 to the value, so that jumping to
|
|
the loaded address will do the right thing.
|
|
|
|
@node MIPS option stack
|
|
@section Directives to save and restore options
|
|
|
|
@cindex MIPS option stack
|
|
@kindex @code{.set push}
|
|
@kindex @code{.set pop}
|
|
The directives @code{.set push} and @code{.set pop} may be used to save
|
|
and restore the current settings for all the options which are
|
|
controlled by @code{.set}. The @code{.set push} directive saves the
|
|
current settings on a stack. The @code{.set pop} directive pops the
|
|
stack and restores the settings.
|
|
|
|
These directives can be useful inside an macro which must change an
|
|
option such as the ISA level or instruction reordering but does not want
|
|
to change the state of the code which invoked the macro.
|
|
|
|
Traditional @sc{mips} assemblers do not support these directives.
|
|
|
|
@node MIPS ASE instruction generation overrides
|
|
@section Directives to control generation of MIPS ASE instructions
|
|
|
|
@cindex MIPS MIPS-3D instruction generation override
|
|
@kindex @code{.set mips3d}
|
|
@kindex @code{.set nomips3d}
|
|
The directive @code{.set mips3d} makes the assembler accept instructions
|
|
from the MIPS-3D Application Specific Extension from that point on
|
|
in the assembly. The @code{.set nomips3d} directive prevents MIPS-3D
|
|
instructions from being accepted.
|
|
|
|
@cindex MIPS MDMX instruction generation override
|
|
@kindex @code{.set mdmx}
|
|
@kindex @code{.set nomdmx}
|
|
The directive @code{.set mdmx} makes the assembler accept instructions
|
|
from the MDMX Application Specific Extension from that point on
|
|
in the assembly. The @code{.set nomdmx} directive prevents MDMX
|
|
instructions from being accepted.
|
|
|
|
Traditional @sc{mips} assemblers do not support these directives.
|
