29@cindex options, M68HC11
30@cindex M68HC11 options
31The Motorola 68HC11 and 68HC12 version of @code{@value{AS}} have a few machine
32dependent options.
33
34@table @code
35
36@cindex @samp{-m68hc11}
37@item -m68hc11
38This option switches the assembler into the M68HC11 mode. In this mode,
39the assembler only accepts 68HC11 operands and mnemonics. It produces
40code for the 68HC11.
41
42@cindex @samp{-m68hc12}
43@item -m68hc12
44This option switches the assembler into the M68HC12 mode. In this mode,
45the assembler also accepts 68HC12 operands and mnemonics. It produces
46code for the 68HC12. A few 68HC11 instructions are replaced by
47some 68HC12 instructions as recommended by Motorola specifications.
48
49@cindex @samp{-m68hcs12}
50@item -m68hcs12
51This option switches the assembler into the M68HCS12 mode.  This mode is
52similar to @samp{-m68hc12} but specifies to assemble for the 68HCS12
53series.  The only difference is on the assembling of the @samp{movb}
54and @samp{movw} instruction when a PC-relative operand is used.
55
56@cindex @samp{-mm9s12x}
57@item -mm9s12x
58This option switches the assembler into the M9S12X mode.  This mode is
59similar to @samp{-m68hc12} but specifies to assemble for the S12X
60series which is a superset of the HCS12.
61
62@cindex @samp{-mm9s12xg}
63@item -mm9s12xg
64This option switches the assembler into the XGATE mode for the RISC
65co-processor featured on some S12X-family chips.
66
67@cindex @samp{--xgate-ramoffset}
68@item --xgate-ramoffset
69This option instructs the linker to offset RAM addresses from S12X address
70space into XGATE address space.
71
72@cindex @samp{-mshort}
73@item -mshort
74This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 16-bit integer ABI.
75It has no effect on the assembled instructions.
76This is the default.
77
78@cindex @samp{-mlong}
79@item -mlong
80This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 32-bit integer ABI.
81
82@cindex @samp{-mshort-double}
83@item -mshort-double
84This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 32-bit float ABI.
85This is the default.
86
87@cindex @samp{-mlong-double}
88@item -mlong-double
89This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 64-bit float ABI.
90
91@cindex @samp{--strict-direct-mode}
92@item --strict-direct-mode
93You can use the @samp{--strict-direct-mode} option to disable
94the automatic translation of direct page mode addressing into
95extended mode when the instruction does not support direct mode.
96For example, the @samp{clr} instruction does not support direct page
97mode addressing. When it is used with the direct page mode,
98@code{@value{AS}} will ignore it and generate an absolute addressing.
99This option prevents @code{@value{AS}} from doing this, and the wrong
100usage of the direct page mode will raise an error.
101
102@cindex @samp{--short-branches}
103@item --short-branches
104The @samp{--short-branches} option turns off the translation of
105relative branches into absolute branches when the branch offset is
106out of range. By default @code{@value{AS}} transforms the relative
107branch (@samp{bsr}, @samp{bgt}, @samp{bge}, @samp{beq}, @samp{bne},
108@samp{ble}, @samp{blt}, @samp{bhi}, @samp{bcc}, @samp{bls},
109@samp{bcs}, @samp{bmi}, @samp{bvs}, @samp{bvs}, @samp{bra}) into
110an absolute branch when the offset is out of the -128 .. 127 range.
111In that case, the @samp{bsr} instruction is translated into a
112@samp{jsr}, the @samp{bra} instruction is translated into a
113@samp{jmp} and the conditional branches instructions are inverted and
114followed by a @samp{jmp}. This option disables these translations
115and @code{@value{AS}} will generate an error if a relative branch
116is out of range. This option does not affect the optimization
117associated to the @samp{jbra}, @samp{jbsr} and @samp{jbXX} pseudo opcodes.
118
119@cindex @samp{--force-long-branches}
120@item --force-long-branches
121The @samp{--force-long-branches} option forces the translation of
122relative branches into absolute branches. This option does not affect
123the optimization associated to the @samp{jbra}, @samp{jbsr} and
124@samp{jbXX} pseudo opcodes.
125
126@cindex @samp{--print-insn-syntax}
127@item --print-insn-syntax
128You can use the @samp{--print-insn-syntax} option to obtain the
129syntax description of the instruction when an error is detected.
130
131@cindex @samp{--print-opcodes}
132@item --print-opcodes
133The @samp{--print-opcodes} option prints the list of all the
134instructions with their syntax. The first item of each line
135represents the instruction name and the rest of the line indicates
136the possible operands for that instruction. The list is printed
137in alphabetical order. Once the list is printed @code{@value{AS}}
138exits.
139
140@cindex @samp{--generate-example}
141@item --generate-example
142The @samp{--generate-example} option is similar to @samp{--print-opcodes}
143but it generates an example for each instruction instead.

148
149@cindex M68HC11 syntax
150@cindex syntax, M68HC11
151
152In the M68HC11 syntax, the instruction name comes first and it may
153be followed by one or several operands (up to three). Operands are
154separated by comma (@samp{,}). In the normal mode,
155@code{@value{AS}} will complain if too many operands are specified for
156a given instruction. In the MRI mode (turned on with @samp{-M} option),
157it will treat them as comments. Example:
158
159@smallexample
160inx
161lda  #23
162bset 2,x #4
163brclr *bot #8 foo
164@end smallexample
165
166@cindex line comment character, M68HC11
167@cindex M68HC11 line comment character
168The presence of a @samp{;} character or a @samp{!} character anywhere
169on a line indicates the start of a comment that extends to the end of
170that line.
171
172A @samp{*} or a @samp{#} character at the start of a line also
173introduces a line comment, but these characters do not work elsewhere
174on the line.  If the first character of the line is a @samp{#} then as
175well as starting a comment, the line could also be logical line number
176directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a preprocessor control command
177(@pxref{Preprocessing}).
178
179@cindex line separator, M68HC11
180@cindex statement separator, M68HC11
181@cindex M68HC11 line separator
182The M68HC11 assembler does not currently support a line separator
183character.
184
185@cindex M68HC11 addressing modes
186@cindex addressing modes, M68HC11
187The following addressing modes are understood for 68HC11 and 68HC12:
188@table @dfn
189@item Immediate
190@samp{#@var{number}}
191
192@item Address Register
193@samp{@var{number},X}, @samp{@var{number},Y}
194
195The @var{number} may be omitted in which case 0 is assumed.
196
197@item Direct Addressing mode
198@samp{*@var{symbol}}, or @samp{*@var{digits}}
199
200@item Absolute
201@samp{@var{symbol}}, or @samp{@var{digits}}
202@end table
203
204The M68HC12 has other more complex addressing modes. All of them
205are supported and they are represented below:
206
207@table @dfn
208@item Constant Offset Indexed Addressing Mode
209@samp{@var{number},@var{reg}}
210
211The @var{number} may be omitted in which case 0 is assumed.
212The register can be either @samp{X}, @samp{Y}, @samp{SP} or
213@samp{PC}.  The assembler will use the smaller post-byte definition
214according to the constant value (5-bit constant offset, 9-bit constant
215offset or 16-bit constant offset).  If the constant is not known by
216the assembler it will use the 16-bit constant offset post-byte and the value
217will be resolved at link time.
218
219@item Offset Indexed Indirect
220@samp{[@var{number},@var{reg}]}
221
222The register can be either @samp{X}, @samp{Y}, @samp{SP} or @samp{PC}.
223
224@item Auto Pre-Increment/Pre-Decrement/Post-Increment/Post-Decrement
225@samp{@var{number},-@var{reg}}
226@samp{@var{number},+@var{reg}}
227@samp{@var{number},@var{reg}-}
228@samp{@var{number},@var{reg}+}
229
230The number must be in the range @samp{-8}..@samp{+8} and must not be 0.
231The register can be either @samp{X}, @samp{Y}, @samp{SP} or @samp{PC}.
232
233@item Accumulator Offset
234@samp{@var{acc},@var{reg}}
235
236The accumulator register can be either @samp{A}, @samp{B} or @samp{D}.
237The register can be either @samp{X}, @samp{Y}, @samp{SP} or @samp{PC}.
238
239@item Accumulator D offset indexed-indirect
240@samp{[D,@var{reg}]}
241
242The register can be either @samp{X}, @samp{Y}, @samp{SP} or @samp{PC}.

260
261@cindex M68HC11 modifiers
262@cindex syntax, M68HC11
263
264The assembler supports several modifiers when using symbol addresses
265in 68HC11 and 68HC12 instruction operands.  The general syntax is
266the following:
267
268@smallexample
269%modifier(symbol)
270@end smallexample
271
272@table @code
273@cindex symbol modifiers
274@item %addr
275This modifier indicates to the assembler and linker to use
276the 16-bit physical address corresponding to the symbol.  This is intended
277to be used on memory window systems to map a symbol in the memory bank window.
278If the symbol is in a memory expansion part, the physical address
279corresponds to the symbol address within the memory bank window.
280If the symbol is not in a memory expansion part, this is the symbol address
281(using or not using the %addr modifier has no effect in that case).
282
283@item %page
284This modifier indicates to use the memory page number corresponding
285to the symbol.  If the symbol is in a memory expansion part, its page
286number is computed by the linker as a number used to map the page containing
287the symbol in the memory bank window.  If the symbol is not in a memory
288expansion part, the page number is 0.
289
290@item %hi
291This modifier indicates to use the 8-bit high part of the physical
292address of the symbol.
293
294@item %lo
295This modifier indicates to use the 8-bit low part of the physical
296address of the symbol.
297
298@end table
299
300For example a 68HC12 call to a function @samp{foo_example} stored in memory
301expansion part could be written as follows:
302
303@smallexample
304call %addr(foo_example),%page(foo_example)
305@end smallexample
306
307and this is equivalent to
308
309@smallexample
310call foo_example
311@end smallexample
312
313And for 68HC11 it could be written as follows:
314
315@smallexample
316ldab #%page(foo_example)
317stab _page_switch
318jsr  %addr(foo_example)

327@cindex M68HC12 assembler directives
328
329The 68HC11 and 68HC12 version of @code{@value{AS}} have the following
330specific assembler directives:
331
332@table @code
333@item .relax
334@cindex assembler directive .relax, M68HC11
335@cindex M68HC11 assembler directive .relax
336The relax directive is used by the @samp{GNU Compiler} to emit a specific
337relocation to mark a group of instructions for linker relaxation.
338The sequence of instructions within the group must be known to the linker
339so that relaxation can be performed.
340
341@item .mode [mshort|mlong|mshort-double|mlong-double]
342@cindex assembler directive .mode, M68HC11
343@cindex M68HC11 assembler directive .mode
344This directive specifies the ABI.  It overrides the @samp{-mshort},
345@samp{-mlong}, @samp{-mshort-double} and @samp{-mlong-double} options.
346
347@item .far @var{symbol}
348@cindex assembler directive .far, M68HC11
349@cindex M68HC11 assembler directive .far
350This directive marks the symbol as a @samp{far} symbol meaning that it
351uses a @samp{call/rtc} calling convention as opposed to @samp{jsr/rts}.
352During a final link, the linker will identify references to the @samp{far}
353symbol and will verify the proper calling convention.
354
355@item .interrupt @var{symbol}
356@cindex assembler directive .interrupt, M68HC11
357@cindex M68HC11 assembler directive .interrupt
358This directive marks the symbol as an interrupt entry point.
359This information is then used by the debugger to correctly unwind the
360frame across interrupts.
361
362@item .xrefb @var{symbol}
363@cindex assembler directive .xrefb, M68HC11
364@cindex M68HC11 assembler directive .xrefb
365This directive is defined for compatibility with the

417Certain pseudo opcodes are permitted for branch instructions.
418They expand to the shortest branch instruction that reach the
419target. Generally these mnemonics are made by prepending @samp{j} to
420the start of Motorola mnemonic. These pseudo opcodes are not affected
421by the @samp{--short-branches} or @samp{--force-long-branches} options.
422

452
453@item jb@var{XX}
454Here, @samp{jb@var{XX}} stands for an entire family of pseudo-operations,
