The assembler normally performs the following other relaxations.  They
 | 
						|
can be disabled by using underscore prefixes (see <a href="Xtensa-Opcodes.html#Xtensa-Opcodes">Opcode Names</a>), the <span class="samp">--no-transform</span> command-line option
 | 
						|
(see <a href="Xtensa-Options.html#Xtensa-Options">Command Line Options</a>), or the
 | 
						|
<code>no-transform</code> directive (see <a href="Transform-Directive.html#Transform-Directive">transform</a>).

 | 
						|
range from -2048 to 2047.  Values outside this range are best
 | 
						|
materialized with <code>L32R</code> instructions.  Thus:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<pre class="smallexample">         movi a0, 100000
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
   <p>is assembled into the following machine code:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<pre class="smallexample">         .literal .L1, 100000
 | 
						|
         l32r a0, .L1
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
   <p><a name="index-_0040code_007bL8UI_007d-instructions_002c-relaxation-1872"></a><a name="index-_0040code_007bL16SI_007d-instructions_002c-relaxation-1873"></a><a name="index-_0040code_007bL16UI_007d-instructions_002c-relaxation-1874"></a><a name="index-_0040code_007bL32I_007d-instructions_002c-relaxation-1875"></a><a name="index-relaxation-of-_0040code_007bL8UI_007d-instructions-1876"></a><a name="index-relaxation-of-_0040code_007bL16SI_007d-instructions-1877"></a><a name="index-relaxation-of-_0040code_007bL16UI_007d-instructions-1878"></a><a name="index-relaxation-of-_0040code_007bL32I_007d-instructions-1879"></a>The <code>L8UI</code> machine instruction can only be used with immediate
 | 
						|
offsets in the range from 0 to 255. The <code>L16SI</code> and <code>L16UI</code>
 | 
						|
machine instructions can only be used with offsets from 0 to 510.  The
 | 
						|
<code>L32I</code> machine instruction can only be used with offsets from 0 to
 | 
						|
1020.  A load offset outside these ranges can be materialized with
 | 
						|
an <code>L32R</code> instruction if the destination register of the load
 | 
						|
is different than the source address register.  For example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<pre class="smallexample">         l32i a1, a0, 2040
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
   <p>is translated to:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<pre class="smallexample">         .literal .L1, 2040
 | 
						|
         l32r a1, .L1
 | 
						|
         add a1, a0, a1
 | 
						|
         l32i a1, a1, 0
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
   <p class="noindent">If the load destination and source address register are the same, an
 | 
						|
out-of-range offset causes an error.
 | 
						|

   <p><a name="index-_0040code_007bADDI_007d-instructions_002c-relaxation-1880"></a><a name="index-relaxation-of-_0040code_007bADDI_007d-instructions-1881"></a>The Xtensa <code>ADDI</code> instruction only allows immediate operands in the
 | 
						|
range from -128 to 127.  There are a number of alternate instruction
 | 
						|
sequences for the <code>ADDI</code> operation.  First, if the
 | 
						|
immediate is 0, the <code>ADDI</code> will be turned into a <code>MOV.N</code>
 | 
						|
instruction (or the equivalent <code>OR</code> instruction if the code density
 | 
						|
option is not available).  If the <code>ADDI</code> immediate is outside of
 | 
						|
the range -128 to 127, but inside the range -32896 to 32639, an
 | 
						|
<code>ADDMI</code> instruction or <code>ADDMI</code>/<code>ADDI</code> sequence will be
 | 
						|
used.  Finally, if the immediate is outside of this range and a free
 | 
						|
register is available, an <code>L32R</code>/<code>ADD</code> sequence will be used
 | 
						|
with a literal allocated from the literal pool.
 |

   <p>For example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<pre class="smallexample">         addi    a5, a6, 0
 | 
						|
         addi    a5, a6, 512
 | 
						|
         addi    a5, a6, 513
 | 
						|
         addi    a5, a6, 50000
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
   <p>is assembled into the following:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<pre class="smallexample">         .literal .L1, 50000
 | 
						|
         mov.n   a5, a6
 | 
						|
         addmi   a5, a6, 0x200
 | 
						|
         addmi   a5, a6, 0x200
 | 
						|
         addi    a5, a5, 1
 | 
						|
         l32r    a5, .L1
 | 
						|
         add     a5, a6, a5
 |
