 | 
						|
<p><a name="index-options-for-SPARC-1493"></a><a name="index-SPARC-options-1494"></a><a name="index-architectures_002c-SPARC-1495"></a><a name="index-SPARC-architectures-1496"></a>The SPARC chip family includes several successive versions, using the same
 | 
						|
core instruction set, but including a few additional instructions at
 | 
						|
each version.  There are exceptions to this however.  For details on what
 | 
						|
instructions each variant supports, please see the chip's architecture
 | 
						|
reference manual.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>By default, <code>as</code> assumes the core instruction set (SPARC
 | 
						|
v6), but “bumps” the architecture level as needed: it switches to
 | 
						|
successively higher architectures as it encounters instructions that
 | 
						|
only exist in the higher levels.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>If not configured for SPARC v9 (<code>sparc64-*-*</code>) GAS will not bump
 | 
						|
past sparclite by default, an option must be passed to enable the
 | 
						|
v9 instructions.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>GAS treats sparclite as being compatible with v8, unless an architecture
 | 
						|
is explicitly requested.  SPARC v9 is always incompatible with sparclite.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<!-- The order here is the same as the order of enum sparc_opcode_arch_val -->
 | 
						|
<!-- to give the user a sense of the order of the "bumping". -->

<dl><dt><code>-Av6 | -Av7 | -Av8 | -Asparclet | -Asparclite</code><dt><code>-Av8plus | -Av8plusa | -Av9 | -Av9a</code><dd>Use one of the <span class="samp">-A</span> options to select one of the SPARC
 | 
						|
architectures explicitly.  If you select an architecture explicitly,
 | 
						|
<code>as</code> reports a fatal error if it encounters an instruction
 | 
						|
or feature requiring an incompatible or higher level.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <p><span class="samp">-Av8plus</span> and <span class="samp">-Av8plusa</span> select a 32 bit environment.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <p><span class="samp">-Av9</span> and <span class="samp">-Av9a</span> select a 64 bit environment and are not
 | 
						|
available unless GAS is explicitly configured with 64 bit environment
 | 
						|
support.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <p><span class="samp">-Av8plusa</span> and <span class="samp">-Av9a</span> enable the SPARC V9 instruction set with
 | 
						|
UltraSPARC extensions.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <br><dt><code>-xarch=v8plus | -xarch=v8plusa</code><dd>For compatibility with the SunOS v9 assembler.  These options are
 | 
						|
equivalent to -Av8plus and -Av8plusa, respectively.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <br><dt><code>-bump</code><dd>Warn whenever it is necessary to switch to another level. 
 | 
						|
If an architecture level is explicitly requested, GAS will not issue
 | 
						|
warnings until that level is reached, and will then bump the level
 | 
						|
as required (except between incompatible levels).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <br><dt><code>-32 | -64</code><dd>Select the word size, either 32 bits or 64 bits. 
 | 
						|
These options are only available with the ELF object file format,
 | 
						|
and require that the necessary BFD support has been included.
