See the <cite>Xtensa Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) Reference
|
||
|
|
Manual</cite> for a complete list of opcodes and descriptions of their
|
||
|
|
semantics.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><a name="index-_005f-opcode-prefix-1853"></a>If an opcode name is prefixed with an underscore character (<span class="samp">_</span>),
|
||
|
|
<span class="command">as</span> will not transform that instruction in any way. The
|
||
|
|
underscore prefix disables both optimization (see <a href="Xtensa-Optimizations.html#Xtensa-Optimizations">Xtensa Optimizations</a>) and relaxation (see <a href="Xtensa-Relaxation.html#Xtensa-Relaxation">Xtensa Relaxation</a>) for that particular instruction. Only
|
||
|
|
use the underscore prefix when it is essential to select the exact
|
||
|
|
opcode produced by the assembler. Using this feature unnecessarily
|
||
|
|
makes the code less efficient by disabling assembler optimization and
|
||
|
|
less flexible by disabling relaxation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that this special handling of underscore prefixes only applies to
|
||
|
|
Xtensa opcodes, not to either built-in macros or user-defined macros.
|
||
|
|
When an underscore prefix is used with a macro (e.g., <code>_MOV</code>), it
|
||
|
|
refers to a different macro. The assembler generally provides built-in
|
||
|
|
macros both with and without the underscore prefix, where the underscore
|
||
|
|
versions behave as if the underscore carries through to the instructions
|
||
|
|
in the macros. For example, <code>_MOV</code> may expand to <code>_MOV.N</code>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The underscore prefix only applies to individual instructions, not to
|
||
|
|
series of instructions. For example, if a series of instructions have
|
||
|
|
underscore prefixes, the assembler will not transform the individual
|
||
|
|
instructions, but it may insert other instructions between them (e.g.,
|
||
|
|
to align a <code>LOOP</code> instruction). To prevent the assembler from
|
||
|
|
modifying a series of instructions as a whole, use the
|
||
|
|
<code>no-transform</code> directive. See <a href="Transform-Directive.html#Transform-Directive">transform</a>.
