<p><a name="index-relaxation-1863"></a>
When an instruction operand is outside the range allowed for that
particular instruction field, <span class="command">as</span> can transform the code
to use a functionally-equivalent instruction or sequence of
instructions. This process is known as <dfn>relaxation</dfn>. This is
typically done for branch instructions because the distance of the
branch targets is not known until assembly-time. The Xtensa assembler
offers branch relaxation and also extends this concept to function
calls, <code>MOVI</code> instructions and other instructions with immediate
fields.
