<dt><code>LOC</code><dd><a name="index-assembler-directive-LOC_002c-MMIX-1272"></a><a name="index-pseudo_002dop-LOC_002c-MMIX-1273"></a><a name="index-MMIX-assembler-directive-LOC-1274"></a><a name="index-MMIX-pseudo_002dop-LOC-1275"></a>

<a name="MMIX_002dloc"></a>
|
|
The <code>LOC</code> directive sets the current location to the value of the
|
|
operand field, which may include changing sections. If the operand is a
|
|
constant, the section is set to either <code>.data</code> if the value is
|
|
<code>0x2000000000000000</code> or larger, else it is set to <code>.text</code>.
|
|
Within a section, the current location may only be changed to
|
|
monotonically higher addresses. A LOC expression must be a previously
|
|
defined symbol or a “pure” constant.
|
|
|
|
<p>An example, which sets the label <var>prev</var> to the current location, and
|
|
updates the current location to eight bytes forward:
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> prev LOC @+8
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>When a LOC has a constant as its operand, a symbol
|
|
<code>__.MMIX.start..text</code> or <code>__.MMIX.start..data</code> is defined
|
|
depending on the address as mentioned above. Each such symbol is
|
|
interpreted as special by the linker, locating the section at that
|
|
address. Note that if multiple files are linked, the first object file
|
|
with that section will be mapped to that address (not necessarily the file
|
|
with the LOC definition).
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>LOCAL</code><dd><a name="index-assembler-directive-LOCAL_002c-MMIX-1276"></a><a name="index-pseudo_002dop-LOCAL_002c-MMIX-1277"></a><a name="index-MMIX-assembler-directive-LOCAL-1278"></a><a name="index-MMIX-pseudo_002dop-LOCAL-1279"></a>
|
|
<a name="MMIX_002dlocal"></a>
|
|
Example:
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> LOCAL external_symbol
|
|
LOCAL 42
|
|
.local asymbol
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>This directive-operation generates a link-time assertion that the operand
|
|
does not correspond to a global register. The operand is an expression
|
|
that at link-time resolves to a register symbol or a number. A number is
|
|
treated as the register having that number. There is one restriction on
|
|
the use of this directive: the pseudo-directive must be placed in a
|
|
section with contents, code or data.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>IS</code><dd><a name="index-assembler-directive-IS_002c-MMIX-1280"></a><a name="index-pseudo_002dop-IS_002c-MMIX-1281"></a><a name="index-MMIX-assembler-directive-IS-1282"></a><a name="index-MMIX-pseudo_002dop-IS-1283"></a>
|
|
<a name="MMIX_002dis"></a>
|
|
The <code>IS</code> directive:
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> asymbol IS an_expression
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>sets the symbol <span class="samp">asymbol</span> to <span class="samp">an_expression</span>. A symbol may not
|
|
be set more than once using this directive. Local labels may be set using
|
|
this directive, for example:
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> 5H IS @+4
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<br><dt><code>GREG</code><dd><a name="index-assembler-directive-GREG_002c-MMIX-1284"></a><a name="index-pseudo_002dop-GREG_002c-MMIX-1285"></a><a name="index-MMIX-assembler-directive-GREG-1286"></a><a name="index-MMIX-pseudo_002dop-GREG-1287"></a>
|
|
<a name="MMIX_002dgreg"></a>
|
|
This directive reserves a global register, gives it an initial value and
|
|
optionally gives it a symbolic name. Some examples:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> areg GREG
|
|
breg GREG data_value
|
|
GREG data_buffer
|
|
.greg creg, another_data_value
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>The symbolic register name can be used in place of a (non-special)
|
|
register. If a value isn't provided, it defaults to zero. Unless the
|
|
option <span class="samp">--no-merge-gregs</span> is specified, non-zero registers allocated
|
|
with this directive may be eliminated by <code>as</code>; another
|
|
register with the same value used in its place.

can have a value nearby <a name="GREG_002dbase"></a>an initial value in place of its

second and third operands. Here, “nearby” is defined as within the

|
range 0<small class="dots">...</small>255 from the initial value of such an allocated register.

|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>In the example above, the <span class="samp">Y</span> field of the <code>LDOUI</code> instruction
|
|
(LDOU with a constant Z) will be replaced with the global register
|
|
allocated for <span class="samp">buffer1</span>, and the <span class="samp">Z</span> field will have the value
|
|
5, the offset from <span class="samp">buffer1</span> to <span class="samp">buffer2</span>. The result is
|
|
equivalent to this code:
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> buffer1 BYTE 0,0,0,0,0
|
|
buffer2 BYTE 0,0,0,0,0
|
|
...
|
|
tmpreg GREG buffer1
|
|
LDOU $42,tmpreg,(buffer2-buffer1)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>Global registers allocated with this directive are allocated in order
|
|
higher-to-lower within a file. Other than that, the exact order of
|
|
register allocation and elimination is undefined. For example, the order
|
|
is undefined when more than one file with such directives are linked
|
|
together. With the options <span class="samp">-x</span> and <span class="samp">--linker-allocated-gregs</span>,
|
|
<span class="samp">GREG</span> directives for two-operand cases like the one mentioned above
|
|
can be omitted. Sufficient global registers will then be allocated by the
|
|
linker.

<br><dt><code>BYTE</code><dd><a name="index-assembler-directive-BYTE_002c-MMIX-1288"></a><a name="index-pseudo_002dop-BYTE_002c-MMIX-1289"></a><a name="index-MMIX-assembler-directive-BYTE-1290"></a><a name="index-MMIX-pseudo_002dop-BYTE-1291"></a>
|
|
<a name="MMIX_002dbyte"></a>
|
|
The <span class="samp">BYTE</span> directive takes a series of operands separated by a comma.
|
|
If an operand is a string (see <a href="Strings.html#Strings">Strings</a>), each character of that string
|
|
is emitted as a byte. Other operands must be constant expressions without
|
|
forward references, in the range 0<small class="dots">...</small>255. If you need operands having
|
|
expressions with forward references, use <span class="samp">.byte</span> (see <a href="Byte.html#Byte">Byte</a>). An
|
|
operand can be omitted, defaulting to a zero value.
|

|
|
<a name="MMIX_002dconstants"></a>
|
|
The directives <span class="samp">WYDE</span>, <span class="samp">TETRA</span> and <span class="samp">OCTA</span> emit constants of
|
|
two, four and eight bytes size respectively. Before anything else happens
|
|
for the directive, the current location is aligned to the respective
|
|
constant-size boundary. If a label is defined at the beginning of the
|
|
line, its value will be that after the alignment. A single operand can be
|
|
omitted, defaulting to a zero value emitted for the directive. Operands
|
|
can be expressed as strings (see <a href="Strings.html#Strings">Strings</a>), in which case each
|
|
character in the string is emitted as a separate constant of the size
|
|
indicated by the directive.
|

<br><dt><code>PREFIX</code><dd><a name="index-assembler-directive-PREFIX_002c-MMIX-1304"></a><a name="index-pseudo_002dop-PREFIX_002c-MMIX-1305"></a><a name="index-MMIX-assembler-directive-PREFIX-1306"></a><a name="index-MMIX-pseudo_002dop-PREFIX-1307"></a>
|
|
<a name="MMIX_002dprefix"></a>
|
|
The <span class="samp">PREFIX</span> directive sets a symbol name prefix to be prepended to
|
|
all symbols (except local symbols, see <a href="MMIX_002dSymbols.html#MMIX_002dSymbols">MMIX-Symbols</a>), that are not
|
|
prefixed with <span class="samp">:</span>, until the next <span class="samp">PREFIX</span> directive. Such
|
|
prefixes accumulate. For example,
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> PREFIX a
|
|
PREFIX b
|
|
c IS 0
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>defines a symbol <span class="samp">abc</span> with the value 0.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>BSPEC</code><dt><code>ESPEC</code><dd><a name="index-assembler-directive-BSPEC_002c-MMIX-1308"></a><a name="index-pseudo_002dop-BSPEC_002c-MMIX-1309"></a><a name="index-MMIX-assembler-directive-BSPEC-1310"></a><a name="index-MMIX-pseudo_002dop-BSPEC-1311"></a><a name="index-assembler-directive-ESPEC_002c-MMIX-1312"></a><a name="index-pseudo_002dop-ESPEC_002c-MMIX-1313"></a><a name="index-MMIX-assembler-directive-ESPEC-1314"></a><a name="index-MMIX-pseudo_002dop-ESPEC-1315"></a>
|
|
<a name="MMIX_002dspec"></a>
|
|
A pair of <span class="samp">BSPEC</span> and <span class="samp">ESPEC</span> directives delimit a section of
|
|
special contents (without specified semantics). Example:
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> BSPEC 42
|
|
TETRA 1,2,3
|
|
ESPEC
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>The single operand to <span class="samp">BSPEC</span> must be number in the range
|
|
0<small class="dots">...</small>255. The <span class="samp">BSPEC</span> number 80 is used by the GNU binutils
|
|
implementation.
