|
@cindex SPARC architectures
|
|
The SPARC chip family includes several successive levels (or other
|
|
variants) of chip, using the same core instruction set, but including
|
|
a few additional instructions at each level.
|
|
|
|
By default, @code{@value{AS}} assumes the core instruction set (SPARC
|
|
v6), but ``bumps'' the architecture level as needed: it switches to
|
|
successively higher architectures as it encounters instructions that
|
|
only exist in the higher levels.
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
@kindex -Av6
|
|
@kindex Av7
|
|
@kindex -Av8
|
|
@kindex -Av9
|
|
@kindex -Asparclite
|
|
@item -Av6 | -Av7 | -Av8 | -Av9 | -Asparclite
|
|
Use one of the @samp{-A} options to select one of the SPARC
|
|
architectures explicitly. If you select an architecture explicitly,
|
|
@code{@value{AS}} reports a fatal error if it encounters an instruction
|
|
or feature requiring a higher level.
|
|
|
|
@item -bump
|
|
Permit the assembler to ``bump'' the architecture level as required, but
|
|
warn whenever it is necessary to switch to another level.

I don't know anything about Sparc syntax. Someone who does

will have to write this section.

@cindex SPARC floating point (@sc{ieee})

The Sparc uses @sc{ieee} floating-point numbers.

@cindex SPARC machine directives
|
|
@cindex machine directives, SPARC
|
|
The Sparc version of @code{@value{AS}} supports the following additional
|
|
machine directives:
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
@cindex @code{align} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .align
|
|
This must be followed by the desired alignment in bytes.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{common} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .common
|
|
This must be followed by a symbol name, a positive number, and
|
|
@code{"bss"}. This behaves somewhat like @code{.comm}, but the
|
|
syntax is different.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{half} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .half
|
|
This is functionally identical to @code{.short}.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{proc} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .proc
|
|
This directive is ignored. Any text following it on the same
|
|
line is also ignored.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{reserve} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .reserve
|
|
This must be followed by a symbol name, a positive number, and
|
|
@code{"bss"}. This behaves somewhat like @code{.lcomm}, but the
|
|
syntax is different.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{seg} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .seg
|
|
This must be followed by @code{"text"}, @code{"data"}, or
|
|
@code{"data1"}. It behaves like @code{.text}, @code{.data}, or
|
|
@code{.data 1}.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{skip} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .skip
|
|
This is functionally identical to the @code{.space} directive.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{word} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .word
|
|
On the Sparc, the @code{.word} directive produces 32 bit values,
|
|
instead of the 16 bit values it produces on many other machines.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{xword} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .xword
|
|
On the Sparc V9 processor, the @code{.xword} directive produces
|
|
64 bit values.
