<h5 class="subsubsection">9.3.3.1 ARM relocation generation</h5>
<p><a name="index-data-relocations_002c-ARM-597"></a><a name="index-ARM-data-relocations-598"></a>Specific data relocations can be generated by putting the relocation name
in parentheses after the symbol name. For example:
<pre class="smallexample"> .word foo(TARGET1)
</pre>
<p>This will generate an <span class="samp">R_ARM_TARGET1</span> relocation against the symbol
<var>foo</var>.
The following relocations are supported:
<code>GOT</code>,
<code>GOTOFF</code>,
<code>TARGET1</code>,
<code>TARGET2</code>,
<code>SBREL</code>,
<code>TLSGD</code>,
<code>TLSLDM</code>,
<code>TLSLDO</code>,
<code>GOTTPOFF</code>
and
<code>TPOFF</code>.
<p>For compatibility with older toolchains the assembler also accepts
<code>(PLT)</code> after branch targets. This will generate the deprecated
<span class="samp">R_ARM_PLT32</span> relocation.
<p><a name="index-MOVW-and-MOVT-relocations_002c-ARM-599"></a>Relocations for <span class="samp">MOVW</span> and <span class="samp">MOVT</span> instructions can be generated
by prefixing the value with <span class="samp">#:lower16:</span> and <span class="samp">#:upper16</span>
respectively. For example to load the 32-bit address of foo into r0:
<pre class="smallexample"> MOVW r0, #:lower16:foo
MOVT r0, #:upper16:foo
</pre>
