End of line comments may be introduced by @samp{#}. Instructions consist of a leading opcode or macro name followed by whitespace and an optional comma-separated list of operands: @smallexample @var{opcode} [@var{operand}, @dots{}] @end smallexample Instructions must be separated by a newline or semicolon. There are two ways to write code: either write naked instructions, which the assembler is free to combine into VLIW bundles, or specify the VLIW bundles explicitly. Bundles are specified using curly braces: @smallexample @{ @var{add} r3,r4,r5 ; @var{add} r7,r8,r9 ; @var{lw} r10,r11 @} @end smallexample A bundle can span multiple lines. If you want to put multiple instructions on a line, whether in a bundle or not, you need to separate them with semicolons as in this example. A bundle may contain one or more instructions, up to the limit specified by the ISA (currently three). If fewer instructions are specified than the hardware supports in a bundle, the assembler inserts @code{fnop} instructions automatically. The assembler will prefer to preserve the ordering of instructions within the bundle, putting the first instruction in a lower-numbered pipeline than the next one, etc. This fact, combined with the optional use of explicit @code{fnop} or @code{nop} instructions, allows precise control over which pipeline executes each instruction. If the instructions cannot be bundled in the listed order, the assembler will automatically try to find a valid pipeline assignment. If there is no way to bundle the instructions together, the assembler reports an error. The assembler does not yet auto-bundle (automatically combine multiple instructions into one bundle), but it reserves the right to do so in the future. If you want to force an instruction to run by itself, put it in a bundle explicitly with curly braces and use @code{nop} instructions (not @code{fnop}) to fill the remaining pipeline slots in that bundle. @menu * TILE-Gx Opcodes:: Opcode Naming Conventions. * TILE-Gx Registers:: Register Naming. * TILE-Gx Modifiers:: Symbolic Operand Modifiers. @end menu @node TILE-Gx Opcodes @subsection Opcode Names @cindex TILE-Gx opcode names @cindex opcode names, TILE-Gx For a complete list of opcodes and descriptions of their semantics, see @cite{TILE-Gx Instruction Set Architecture}, available upon request at www.tilera.com. @node TILE-Gx Registers @subsection Register Names @cindex TILE-Gx register names @cindex register names, TILE-Gx General-purpose registers are represented by predefined symbols of the form @samp{r@var{N}}, where @var{N} represents a number between @code{0} and @code{63}. However, the following registers have canonical names that must be used instead: @table @code @item r54 sp @item r55 lr @item r56 sn @item r57 idn0 @item r58 idn1 @item r59 udn0 @item r60 udn1 @item r61 udn2 @item r62 udn3 @item r63 zero @end table The assembler will emit a warning if a numeric name is used instead of the non-numeric name. The @code{.no_require_canonical_reg_names} assembler pseudo-op turns off this warning. @code{.require_canonical_reg_names} turns it back on. @node TILE-Gx Modifiers @subsection Symbolic Operand Modifiers @cindex TILE-Gx modifiers @cindex symbol modifiers, TILE-Gx The assembler supports several modifiers when using symbol addresses in TILE-Gx instruction operands. The general syntax is the following: @smallexample modifier(symbol) @end smallexample The following modifiers are supported: @table @code @item hw0 This modifier is used to load bits 0-15 of the symbol's address. @item hw1 This modifier is used to load bits 16-31 of the symbol's address. @item hw2 This modifier is used to load bits 32-47 of the symbol's address. @item hw3 This modifier is used to load bits 48-63 of the symbol's address. @item hw0_last This modifier yields the same value as @code{hw0}, but it also checks that the value does not overflow. @item hw1_last This modifier yields the same value as @code{hw1}, but it also checks that the value does not overflow. @item hw2_last This modifier yields the same value as @code{hw2}, but it also checks that the value does not overflow. A 48-bit symbolic value is constructed by using the following idiom: @smallexample moveli r0, hw2_last(sym) shl16insli r0, r0, hw1(sym) shl16insli r0, r0, hw0(sym) @end smallexample @item hw0_got This modifier is used to load bits 0-15 of the symbol's offset in the GOT entry corresponding to the symbol. @item hw1_got This modifier is used to load bits 16-31 of the symbol's offset in the GOT entry corresponding to the symbol. @item hw2_got This modifier is used to load bits 32-47 of the symbol's offset in the GOT entry corresponding to the symbol. @item hw3_got This modifier is used to load bits 48-63 of the symbol's offset in the GOT entry corresponding to the symbol. @item hw0_last_got This modifier yields the same value as @code{hw0_got}, but it also checks that the value does not overflow. @item hw1_last_got This modifier yields the same value as @code{hw1_got}, but it also checks that the value does not overflow. @item hw2_last_got This modifier yields the same value as @code{hw2_got}, but it also checks that the value does not overflow. @item plt This modifier is used for function symbols. It causes a @emph{procedure linkage table}, an array of code stubs, to be created at the time the shared object is created or linked against, together with a global offset table entry. The value is a pc-relative offset to the corresponding stub code in the procedure linkage table. This arrangement causes the run-time symbol resolver to be called to look up and set the value of the symbol the first time the function is called (at latest; depending environment variables). It is only safe to leave the symbol unresolved this way if all references are function calls. @item hw0_tls_gd This modifier is used to load bits 0-15 of the offset of the GOT entry of the symbol's TLS descriptor, to be used for general-dynamic TLS accesses. @item hw1_tls_gd This modifier is used to load bits 16-31 of the offset of the GOT entry of the symbol's TLS descriptor, to be used for general-dynamic TLS accesses. @item hw2_tls_gd This modifier is used to load bits 32-47 of the offset of the GOT entry of the symbol's TLS descriptor, to be used for general-dynamic TLS accesses. @item hw3_tls_gd This modifier is used to load bits 48-63 of the offset of the GOT entry of the symbol's TLS descriptor, to be used for general-dynamic TLS accesses. @item hw0_last_tls_gd This modifier yields the same value as @code{hw0_tls_gd}, but it also checks that the value does not overflow. @item hw1_last_tls_gd This modifier yields the same value as @code{hw1_tls_gd}, but it also checks that the value does not overflow. @item hw2_last_tls_gd This modifier yields the same value as @code{hw2_tls_gd}, but it also checks that the value does not overflow. @item hw0_tls_ie This modifier is used to load bits 0-15 of the offset of the GOT entry containing the offset of the symbol's address from the TCB, to be used for initial-exec TLS accesses. @item hw1_tls_ie This modifier is used to load bits 16-31 of the offset of the GOT entry containing the offset of the symbol's address from the TCB, to be used for initial-exec TLS accesses. @item hw2_tls_ie This modifier is used to load bits 32-47 of the offset of the GOT entry containing the offset of the symbol's address from the TCB, to be used for initial-exec TLS accesses. @item hw3_tls_ie This modifier is used to load bits 48-63 of the offset of the GOT entry containing the offset of the symbol's address from the TCB, to be used for initial-exec TLS accesses. @item hw0_last_tls_ie This modifier yields the same value as @code{hw0_tls_ie}, but it also checks that the value does not overflow. @item hw1_last_tls_ie This modifier yields the same value as @code{hw1_tls_ie}, but it also checks that the value does not overflow. @item hw2_last_tls_ie This modifier yields the same value as @code{hw2_tls_ie}, but it also checks that the value does not overflow. @end table @node TILE-Gx Directives @section TILE-Gx Directives @cindex machine directives, TILE-Gx @cindex TILE-Gx machine directives @table @code @cindex @code{.align} directive, TILE-Gx @item .align @var{expression} [, @var{expression}] This is the generic @var{.align} directive.
