<h4 class="subsection">9.12.3 Syntax</h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The opcode/operand syntax follows the ESA/390 Principles of Operation
|
||
|
|
manual; assembler directives and general syntax are loosely based on the
|
||
|
|
prevailing AT&T/SVR4/ELF/Solaris style notation. HLASM-style directives
|
||
|
|
are <em>not</em> supported for the most part, with the exception of those
|
||
|
|
described herein.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A leading dot in front of directives is optional, and the case of
|
||
|
|
directives is ignored; thus for example, .using and USING have the same
|
||
|
|
effect.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A colon may immediately follow a label definition. This is
|
||
|
|
simply for compatibility with how most assembly language programmers
|
||
|
|
write code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="samp">#</span> is the line comment character.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="samp">;</span> can be used instead of a newline to separate statements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Since <span class="samp">$</span> has no special meaning, you may use it in symbol names.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Registers can be given the symbolic names r0..r15, fp0, fp2, fp4, fp6.
|
||
|
|
By using thesse symbolic names, <code>as</code> can detect simple
|
||
|
|
syntax errors. The name rarg or r.arg is a synonym for r11, rtca or r.tca
|
||
|
|
for r12, sp, r.sp, dsa r.dsa for r13, lr or r.lr for r14, rbase or r.base
|
||
|
|
for r3 and rpgt or r.pgt for r4.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="samp">*</span> is the current location counter. Unlike <span class="samp">.</span> it is always
|
||
|
|
relative to the last USING directive. Note that this means that
|
||
|
|
expressions cannot use multiplication, as any occurrence of <span class="samp">*</span>
|
||
|
|
will be interpreted as a location counter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>All labels are relative to the last USING. Thus, branches to a label
|
||
|
|
always imply the use of base+displacement.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Many of the usual forms of address constants / address literals
|
||
|
|
are supported. Thus,
|
||
|
|
<pre class="example"> .using *,r3
|
||
|
|
L r15,=A(some_routine)
|
||
|
|
LM r6,r7,=V(some_longlong_extern)
|
||
|
|
A r1,=F'12'
|
||
|
|
AH r0,=H'42'
|
||
|
|
ME r6,=E'3.1416'
|
||
|
|
MD r6,=D'3.14159265358979'
|
||
|
|
O r6,=XL4'cacad0d0'
|
||
|
|
.ltorg
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>should all behave as expected: that is, an entry in the literal
|
||
|
|
pool will be created (or reused if it already exists), and the
|
||
|
|
instruction operands will be the displacement into the literal pool
|
||
|
|
using the current base register (as last declared with the <code>.using</code>
|
||
|
|
directive).
