								The assembler normally performs the following other relaxations.  They
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								can be disabled by using underscore prefixes (see <a href="Xtensa-Opcodes.html#Xtensa-Opcodes">Opcode Names</a>), the <span class="samp">--no-transform</span> command-line option
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								(see <a href="Xtensa-Options.html#Xtensa-Options">Command Line Options</a>), or the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>no-transform</code> directive (see <a href="Transform-Directive.html#Transform-Directive">transform</a>).

							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								offsets in the range from 0 to 255. The <code>L16SI</code> and <code>L16UI</code>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								machine instructions can only be used with offsets from 0 to 510.  The

						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>L32I</code> machine instruction can only be used with offsets from 0 to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								1020.  A load offset outside these ranges can be materialized with
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								an <code>L32R</code> instruction if the destination register of the load
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								is different than the source address register.  For example:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<pre class="smallexample">         l32i a1, a0, 2040
							 |

							 |

| 
								 | 
							
								<pre class="smallexample">         .literal .L1, 2040
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								         l32r a1, .L1
							 |

								         add a1, a0, a1
							 |

								         l32i a1, a1, 0
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</pre>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p class="noindent">If the load destination and source address register are the same, an
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								out-of-range offset causes an error.

							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								range from -128 to 127.  There are a number of alternate instruction
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								sequences for the <code>ADDI</code> operation.  First, if the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								immediate is 0, the <code>ADDI</code> will be turned into a <code>MOV.N</code>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								instruction (or the equivalent <code>OR</code> instruction if the code density
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								option is not available).  If the <code>ADDI</code> immediate is outside of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the range -128 to 127, but inside the range -32896 to 32639, an
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>ADDMI</code> instruction or <code>ADDMI</code>/<code>ADDI</code> sequence will be
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								used.  Finally, if the immediate is outside of this range and a free
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								register is available, an <code>L32R</code>/<code>ADD</code> sequence will be used
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								with a literal allocated from the literal pool.
