<h4 class="subsection">9.11.3 Syntax</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>The assembler syntax closely follows the HPPA instruction set
|
|
reference manual; assembler directives and general syntax closely follow the
|
|
HPPA assembly language reference manual, with a few noteworthy differences.
|
|
|
|
<p>First, a colon may immediately follow a label definition. This is
|
|
simply for compatibility with how most assembly language programmers
|
|
write code.
|
|
|
|
<p>Some obscure expression parsing problems may affect hand written code which
|
|
uses the <code>spop</code> instructions, or code which makes significant
|
|
use of the <code>!</code> line separator.
|
|
|
|
<p><code>as</code> is much less forgiving about missing arguments and other
|
|
similar oversights than the HP assembler. <code>as</code> notifies you
|
|
of missing arguments as syntax errors; this is regarded as a feature, not a
|
|
bug.
|
|
|
|
<p>Finally, <code>as</code> allows you to use an external symbol without
|
|
explicitly importing the symbol. <em>Warning:</em> in the future this will be
|
|
an error for HPPA targets.
|
|
|
|
<p>Special characters for HPPA targets include:
|
|
|
|
<p><span class="samp">;</span> is the line comment character.
|
|
|
|
<p><span class="samp">!</span> can be used instead of a newline to separate statements.
|
|
|
|
<p>Since <span class="samp">$</span> has no special meaning, you may use it in symbol names.
