|
|
They expand to the shortest branch instruction that reach the
|
|
target. Generally these mnemonics are made by substituting <span class="samp">j</span> for
|
|
<span class="samp">b</span> at the start of a Motorola mnemonic.
|
|
|
|
<p>The following table summarizes the pseudo-operations. A <code>*</code> flags
|
|
cases that are more fully described after the table:

|
<dt><code>jbsr</code><dt><code>jra</code><dd>These are the simplest jump pseudo-operations; they always map to one
|
|
particular machine instruction, depending on the displacement to the
|
|
branch target. This instruction will be a byte or word branch is that
|
|
is sufficient. Otherwise, a long branch will be emitted if available.
|
|
If no long branches are available and the <span class="samp">--pcrel</span> option is not
|
|
given, an absolute long jump will be emitted instead. If no long
|
|
branches are available, the <span class="samp">--pcrel</span> option is given, and a word
|
|
branch cannot reach the target, an error message is generated.
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition to standard branch operands, <code>as</code> allows these
|
|
pseudo-operations to have all operands that are allowed for jsr and jmp,
|
|
substituting these instructions if the operand given is not valid for a
|
|
branch instruction.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>j</code><var>XX</var><dd>Here, <span class="samp">j</span><var>XX</var> stands for an entire family of pseudo-operations,
|
|
where <var>XX</var> is a conditional branch or condition-code test. The full
|
|
list of pseudo-ops in this family is:
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> jhi jls jcc jcs jne jeq jvc
|
|
jvs jpl jmi jge jlt jgt jle
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>Usually, each of these pseudo-operations expands to a single branch
|
|
instruction. However, if a word branch is not sufficient, no long branches
|
|
are available, and the <span class="samp">--pcrel</span> option is not given, <code>as</code>
|
|
issues a longer code fragment in terms of <var>NX</var>, the opposite condition
|
|
to <var>XX</var>. For example, under these conditions:
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> j<var>XX</var> foo
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>gives
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> b<var>NX</var>s oof
|
|
jmp foo
|
|
oof:
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<br><dt><code>db</code><var>XX</var><dd>The full family of pseudo-operations covered here is
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> dbhi dbls dbcc dbcs dbne dbeq dbvc
|
|
dbvs dbpl dbmi dbge dblt dbgt dble
|
|
dbf dbra dbt
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>Motorola <span class="samp">db</span><var>XX</var> instructions allow word displacements only. When
|
|
a word displacement is sufficient, each of these pseudo-operations expands
|
|
to the corresponding Motorola instruction. When a word displacement is not
|
|
sufficient and long branches are available, when the source reads
|
|
<span class="samp">db</span><var>XX</var><span class="samp"> foo</span>, <code>as</code> emits
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> db<var>XX</var> oo1
|
|
bras oo2
|
|
oo1:bral foo
|
|
oo2:
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>If, however, long branches are not available and the <span class="samp">--pcrel</span> option is
|
|
not given, <code>as</code> emits
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> db<var>XX</var> oo1
|

|
|
oo1:jmp foo

<p>Each of these pseudo-operations always expands to a single Motorola
