@cindex options, M32R
@cindex M32R options

The Mitsubishi M32R version of @code{@value{AS}} has a few machine
dependent options:

@table @code
@item -m32rx
@cindex @samp{-m32rx} option, M32RX
@cindex architecture options, M32RX
@cindex M32R architecture options
@code{@value{AS}} can assemble code for several different members of the
Mitsubishi M32R family.  Normally the default is to assemble code for
the M32R microprocessor.  This option may be used to change the default
to the M32RX microprocessor, which adds some more instructions to the
basic M32R instruction set, and some additional parameters to some of
the original instructions.

@item -m32r
@cindex @samp{-m32r} option, M32R
@cindex architecture options, M32R
@cindex M32R architecture options
This option can be used to restore the assembler's default behaviour of
assembling for the M32R microprocessor.  This can be useful if the
default has been changed by a previous command line option.

@item -warn-explicit-parallel-conflicts
@cindex @samp{-warn-explicit-parallel-conflicts} option, M32RX
Instructs @code{@value{AS}} to produce warning messages when
questionable parallel instructions are encountered.  This option is
enabled by default, but @code{@value{GCC}} disables it when it invokes
@code{@value{AS}} directly.  Questionable instructions are those whoes
behaviour would be different if they were executed sequentially.  For
example the code fragment @samp{mv r1, r2 || mv r3, r1} produces a
different result from @samp{mv r1, r2 \n mv r3, r1} since the former
moves r1 into r3 and then r2 into r1, whereas the later moves r2 into r1
and r3.

@item -Wp
@cindex @samp{-Wp} option, M32RX
This is a shorter synonym for the @emph{-warn-explicit-parallel-conflicts}
option.

@item -no-warn-explicit-parallel-conflicts
@cindex @samp{-no-warn-explicit-parallel-conflicts} option, M32RX
Instructs @code{@value{AS}} not to produce warning messages when
questionable parallel instructions are encountered.

@item -Wnp
@cindex @samp{-Wnp} option, M32RX
This is a shorter synonym for the @emph{-no-warn-explicit-parallel-conflicts}
option.

@section M32R Warnings

@cindex warnings, M32R
@cindex M32R warnings

There are several warning and error messages that can be produced by
@code{@value{AS}} which are specific to the M32R:

@table @code

@item output of 1st instruction is the same as an input to 2nd instruction - is this intentional ?
This message is only produced if warnings for explicit parallel
conflicts have been enabled.  It indicates that the assembler has
encountered a parallel instruction in which the destination register of
the left hand instruction is used as an input register in the right hand
instruction.  For example in this code fragment
@samp{mv r1, r2 || neg r3, r1} register r1 is the destination of the
move instruction and the input to the neg instruction.

@item output of 2nd instruction is the same as an input to 1st instruction - is this intentional ?
This message is only produced if warnings for explicit parallel
conflicts have been enabled.  It indicates that the assembler has
encountered a parallel instruction in which the destination register of
the right hand instruction is used as an input register in the left hand
instruction.  For example in this code fragment
@samp{mv r1, r2 || neg r2, r3} register r2 is the destination of the
neg instruction and the input to the move instruction.

@item instruction @samp{...} is for the M32RX only
This message is produced when the assembler encounters an instruction
which is only supported by the M32Rx processor, and the @samp{-m32rx}
command line flag has not been specified to allow assembly of such
instructions. 

@item unknown instruction @samp{...}
This message is produced when the assembler encounters an instruction
which it doe snot recognise.

@item only the NOP instruction can be issued in parallel on the m32r
This message is produced when the assembler encounters a parallel
instruction which does not involve a NOP instruction and the
@samp{-m32rx} command line flag has not been specified.  Only the M32Rx
processor is able to execute two instructions in parallel.

@item instruction @samp{...} cannot be executed in parallel.
This message is produced when the assembler encounters a parallel
instruction which is made up of one or two instructions which cannot be
executed in parallel.

@item Instructions share the same execution pipeline
This message is produced when the assembler encounters a parallel
instruction whoes components both use the same execution pipeline.

@item Instructions write to the same destination register.
This message is produced when the assembler encounters a parallel
instruction where both components attempt to modify the same register.
For example these code fragments will produce this message:
@samp{mv r1, r2 || neg r1, r3}
@samp{jl r0 || mv r14, r1}
@samp{st r2, @@-r1 || mv r1, r3} 
@samp{mv r1, r2 || ld r0, @@r1+} 
@samp{cmp r1, r2 || addx r3, r4} (Both write to the condition bit)
