								The <code>absolute-literals</code> and <code>no-absolute-literals</code>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								directives control the absolute vs. PC-relative mode for <code>L32R</code>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								instructions.  These are relevant only for Xtensa configurations that
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								include the absolute addressing option for <code>L32R</code> instructions.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<pre class="smallexample">         .begin [no-]absolute-literals
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								         .end [no-]absolute-literals
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</pre>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>These directives do not change the <code>L32R</code> mode—they only cause
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the assembler to emit the appropriate kind of relocation for <code>L32R</code>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								instructions and to place the literal values in the appropriate section. 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								To change the <code>L32R</code> mode, the program must write the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>LITBASE</code> special register.  It is the programmer's responsibility
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								to keep track of the mode and indicate to the assembler which mode is
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								used in each region of code.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>If the Xtensa configuration includes the absolute <code>L32R</code> addressing
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								option, the default is to assume absolute <code>L32R</code> addressing unless
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the <span class="samp">--no-absolute-literals</span> command-line option is specified. 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Otherwise, the default is to assume PC-relative <code>L32R</code> addressing. 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The <code>absolute-literals</code> directive can then be used to override
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the default determined by the command-line options.
