 | 
						|
<p><a name="index-ARM-opcodes-631"></a><a name="index-opcodes-for-ARM-632"></a><code>as</code> implements all the standard ARM opcodes.  It also
 | 
						|
implements several pseudo opcodes, including several synthetic load
 | 
						|
instructions.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     
 | 
						|
<a name="index-_0040code_007bNOP_007d-pseudo-op_002c-ARM-633"></a>
 | 
						|
<dl><dt><code>NOP</code><dd>
 | 
						|
     <pre class="smallexample">            nop
 | 
						|
     </pre>
 | 
						|
     <p>This pseudo op will always evaluate to a legal ARM instruction that does
 | 
						|
nothing.  Currently it will evaluate to MOV r0, r0.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <p><a name="index-_0040code_007bLDR-reg_002c_003d_003clabel_003e_007d-pseudo-op_002c-ARM-634"></a><br><dt><code>LDR</code><dd>
 | 
						|
     <pre class="smallexample">            ldr <register> , = <expression>
 | 
						|
     </pre>
 | 
						|
     <p>If expression evaluates to a numeric constant then a MOV or MVN
 | 
						|
instruction will be used in place of the LDR instruction, if the
 | 
						|
constant can be generated by either of these instructions.  Otherwise
 | 
						|
the constant will be placed into the nearest literal pool (if it not
 | 
						|
already there) and a PC relative LDR instruction will be generated.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <p><a name="index-_0040code_007bADR-reg_002c_003clabel_003e_007d-pseudo-op_002c-ARM-635"></a><br><dt><code>ADR</code><dd>
 | 
						|
     <pre class="smallexample">            adr <register> <label>
 | 
						|
     </pre>
 | 
						|
     <p>This instruction will load the address of <var>label</var> into the indicated
 | 
						|
register.  The instruction will evaluate to a PC relative ADD or SUB
 | 
						|
instruction depending upon where the label is located.  If the label is
 | 
						|
out of range, or if it is not defined in the same file (and section) as
 | 
						|
the ADR instruction, then an error will be generated.  This instruction
 | 
						|
will not make use of the literal pool.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <p><a name="index-_0040code_007bADRL-reg_002c_003clabel_003e_007d-pseudo-op_002c-ARM-636"></a><br><dt><code>ADRL</code><dd>
 | 
						|
     <pre class="smallexample">            adrl <register> <label>
 | 
						|
     </pre>
 | 
						|
     <p>This instruction will load the address of <var>label</var> into the indicated
 | 
						|
register.  The instruction will evaluate to one or two PC relative ADD
 | 
						|
or SUB instructions depending upon where the label is located.  If a
 | 
						|
second instruction is not needed a NOP instruction will be generated in
 | 
						|
its place, so that this instruction is always 8 bytes long.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <p>If the label is out of range, or if it is not defined in the same file
 | 
						|
(and section) as the ADRL instruction, then an error will be generated. 
 | 
						|
This instruction will not make use of the literal pool.
