<dl><dt><code>-ACA | -ACA_A | -ACB | -ACC | -AKA | -AKB | -AKC | -AMC</code><dd>Select the 80960 architecture. Instructions or features not supported
|
|
by the selected architecture cause fatal errors.
|
|
|
|
<p><span class="samp">-ACA</span> is equivalent to <span class="samp">-ACA_A</span>; <span class="samp">-AKC</span> is equivalent to

<span class="samp">-AMC</span>. Synonyms are provided for compatibility with other tools.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you do not specify any of these options, <code>as</code> generates code
|
|
for any instruction or feature that is supported by <em>some</em> version of the
|
|
960 (even if this means mixing architectures!). In principle,
|
|
<code>as</code> attempts to deduce the minimal sufficient processor type if
|
|
none is specified; depending on the object code format, the processor type may
|
|
be recorded in the object file. If it is critical that the <code>as</code>
|
|
output match a specific architecture, specify that architecture explicitly.

|
|
later optimization using branch prediction bits. (The conditional branch
|
|
instructions have branch prediction bits in the CA, CB, and CC
|
|
architectures.) If <var>BR</var> represents a conditional branch instruction,
|
|
the following represents the code generated by the assembler when
|
|
<span class="samp">-b</span> is specified:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> call <var>increment routine</var>
|
|
.word 0 # pre-counter
|
|
Label: <var>BR</var>
|
|
call <var>increment routine</var>
|
|
.word 0 # post-counter
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>The counter following a branch records the number of times that branch
|
|
was <em>not</em> taken; the difference between the two counters is the
|
|
number of times the branch <em>was</em> taken.
|
|

<p><a name="index-_0040code_007bgbr960_007d_002c-i960-postprocessor-983"></a><a name="index-branch-statistics-table_002c-i960-984"></a>A table of every such <code>Label</code> is also generated, so that the
|
|
external postprocessor <code>gbr960</code> (supplied by Intel) can locate all
|
|
the counters. This table is always labeled <span class="samp">__BRANCH_TABLE__</span>;
|
|
this is a local symbol to permit collecting statistics for many separate
|
|
object files. The table is word aligned, and begins with a two-word
|
|
header. The first word, initialized to 0, is used in maintaining linked
|
|
lists of branch tables. The second word is a count of the number of
|
|
entries in the table, which follow immediately: each is a word, pointing
|
|
to one of the labels illustrated above.
|
|
|
|
<!-- TEXI2ROFF-KILL -->
|
|
<!-- END TEXI2ROFF-KILL -->
|
|
<p>The first word of the header is used to locate multiple branch tables,
|
|
since each object file may contain one. Normally the links are
|
|
maintained with a call to an initialization routine, placed at the
|
|
beginning of each function in the file. The <span class="sc">gnu</span> C compiler
|
|
generates these calls automatically when you give it a <span class="samp">-b</span> option.
|
|
For further details, see the documentation of <span class="samp">gbr960</span>.

|
|
displacements greater than 13 bits (or that have external targets) are
|
|
replaced with the corresponding compare (or <span class="samp">chkbit</span>) and branch
|
|
instructions. You can use the <span class="samp">-no-relax</span> option to specify that
|
|
<code>as</code> should generate errors instead, if the target displacement
|
|
is larger than 13 bits.
|
|
|
|
<p>This option does not affect the Compare-and-Jump instructions; the code
|
|
emitted for them is <em>always</em> adjusted when necessary (depending on
|
|
displacement size), regardless of whether you use <span class="samp">-no-relax</span>.
