The Renease M32R version of <code>as</code> has a few architecture
 | 
						|
specific directives:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     
 | 
						|
<a name="index-_0040code_007blow_007d-directive_002c-M32R-1074"></a>
 | 
						|
<dl><dt><code>low </code><var>expression</var><dd>The <code>low</code> directive computes the value of its expression and
 | 
						|
places the lower 16-bits of the result into the immediate-field of the
 | 
						|
instruction.  For example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <pre class="smallexample">             or3   r0, r0, #low(0x12345678) ; compute r0 = r0 | 0x5678
 | 
						|
             add3, r0, r0, #low(fred)   ; compute r0 = r0 + low 16-bits of address of fred
 | 
						|
     </pre>
 | 
						|
     <br><dt><code>high </code><var>expression</var><dd><a name="index-_0040code_007bhigh_007d-directive_002c-M32R-1075"></a>The <code>high</code> directive computes the value of its expression and
 | 
						|
places the upper 16-bits of the result into the immediate-field of the
 | 
						|
instruction.  For example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <pre class="smallexample">             seth  r0, #high(0x12345678) ; compute r0 = 0x12340000
 | 
						|
             seth, r0, #high(fred)       ; compute r0 = upper 16-bits of address of fred
 | 
						|
     </pre>
 | 
						|
     <br><dt><code>shigh </code><var>expression</var><dd><a name="index-_0040code_007bshigh_007d-directive_002c-M32R-1076"></a>The <code>shigh</code> directive is very similar to the <code>high</code>
 | 
						|
directive.  It also computes the value of its expression and places
 | 
						|
the upper 16-bits of the result into the immediate-field of the
 | 
						|
instruction.  The difference is that <code>shigh</code> also checks to see
 | 
						|
if the lower 16-bits could be interpreted as a signed number, and if
 | 
						|
so it assumes that a borrow will occur from the upper-16 bits.  To
 | 
						|
compensate for this the <code>shigh</code> directive pre-biases the upper
 | 
						|
16 bit value by adding one to it.  For example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <p>For example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <pre class="smallexample">             seth  r0, #shigh(0x12345678) ; compute r0 = 0x12340000
 | 
						|
             seth  r0, #shigh(0x00008000) ; compute r0 = 0x00010000
 | 
						|
     </pre>
 | 
						|
     <p>In the second example the lower 16-bits are 0x8000.  If these are
 | 
						|
treated as a signed value and sign extended to 32-bits then the value
 | 
						|
becomes 0xffff8000.  If this value is then added to 0x00010000 then
 | 
						|
the result is 0x00008000.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <p>This behaviour is to allow for the different semantics of the
 | 
						|
<code>or3</code> and <code>add3</code> instructions.  The <code>or3</code> instruction
 | 
						|
treats its 16-bit immediate argument as unsigned whereas the
 | 
						|
<code>add3</code> treats its 16-bit immediate as a signed value.  So for
 | 
						|
example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <pre class="smallexample">             seth  r0, #shigh(0x00008000)
 | 
						|
             add3  r0, r0, #low(0x00008000)
 | 
						|
     </pre>
 | 
						|
     <p>Produces the correct result in r0, whereas:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <pre class="smallexample">             seth  r0, #shigh(0x00008000)
 | 
						|
             or3   r0, r0, #low(0x00008000)
 | 
						|
     </pre>
 | 
						|
     <p>Stores 0xffff8000 into r0.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <p>Note - the <code>shigh</code> directive does not know where in the assembly
 | 
						|
source code the lower 16-bits of the value are going set, so it cannot
 | 
						|
check to make sure that an <code>or3</code> instruction is being used rather
 | 
						|
than an <code>add3</code> instruction.  It is up to the programmer to make
 | 
						|
sure that correct directives are used.

 | 
						|
line option.  It tells the assembler to only accept M32R instructions
 | 
						|
from now on.  An instructions from later M32R architectures are
 | 
						|
refused.

						|
 |

     <p><a name="index-_0040code_007b_002em32rx_007d-directive_002c-M32RX-1078"></a><br><dt><code>.m32rx</code><dd>The directive performs a similar thing as the <em>-m32rx</em> command

mixed-endian binary files is fraught with danger.
