@cindex Z80 options

@cindex options for Z80

The Zilog Z80 and Ascii R800 version of @code{@value{AS}} have a few machine

dependent options.

@table @option

@cindex @code{-z80} command line option, Z80

@item -z80

Produce code for the Z80 processor. There are additional options to

request warnings and error messages for undocumented instructions.

@item  -ignore-undocumented-instructions

@itemx -Wnud

Silently assemble undocumented Z80-instructions that have been adopted

as documented R800-instructions.

@item  -ignore-unportable-instructions

@itemx -Wnup

Silently assemble all undocumented Z80-instructions.

@item  -warn-undocumented-instructions

@itemx -Wud

Issue warnings for undocumented Z80-instructions that work on R800, do

not assemble other undocumented instructions without warning.

@item  -warn-unportable-instructions

@itemx -Wup

Issue warnings for other undocumented Z80-instructions, do not treat any

undocumented instructions as errors.

@item  -forbid-undocumented-instructions

@itemx -Fud

Treat all undocumented z80-instructions as errors.

@item  -forbid-unportable-instructions

@itemx -Fup

Treat undocumented z80-instructions that do not work on R800 as errors.

@cindex @code{-r800} command line option, Z80

@item -r800

Produce code for the R800 processor. The assembler does not support

undocumented instructions for the R800.

In line with common practice, @code{@value{AS}} uses Z80 instruction names

for the R800 processor, as far as they exist.

@end table

@cindex Z80 Syntax

@node Z80 Syntax

@section Syntax

The assembler syntax closely follows the 'Z80 family CPU User Manual' by

Zilog.

In expressions a single @samp{=} may be used as ``is equal to''

comparison operator.

Suffices can be used to indicate the radix of integer constants;

@samp{H} or @samp{h} for hexadecimal, @samp{D} or @samp{d} for decimal,

@samp{Q}, @samp{O}, @samp{q} or @samp{o} for octal, and @samp{B} for

binary.

The suffix @samp{b} denotes a backreference to local label.

@end menu

@node Z80-Chars

@subsection Special Characters

@cindex line comment character, Z80

@cindex Z80 line comment character

The semicolon @samp{;} is the line comment character;

@cindex location counter, Z80

@cindex hexadecimal prefix, Z80

@cindex Z80 $

The dollar sign @samp{$} can be used as a prefix for hexadecimal numbers

and as a symbol denoting the current location counter.

@cindex character escapes, Z80

@cindex Z80, \

A backslash @samp{\} is an ordinary character for the Z80 assembler.

@cindex character constant, Z80

@cindex single quote, Z80

@cindex Z80 '

The single quote @samp{'} must be followed by a closing quote. If there

is one character in between, it is a character constant, otherwise it is

a string constant.

@node Z80-Regs

@subsection Register Names

@cindex Z80 registers

@cindex register names, Z80

The registers are referred to with the letters assigned to them by

Zilog. In addition @command{@value{AS}} recognizes @samp{ixl} and

@samp{ixh} as the least and most significant octet in @samp{ix}, and

similarly @samp{iyl} and  @samp{iyh} as parts of @samp{iy}.

@c The @samp{'} in @samp{ex af,af'} may be omitted.

@node Z80-Case

@subsection Case Sensitivity

@cindex Z80, case sensitivity

@cindex case sensitivity, Z80

Upper and lower case are equivalent in register names, opcodes,

condition codes  and assembler directives.

The case of letters is significant in labels and symbol names. The case

is also important to distinguish the suffix @samp{b} for a backward reference

to a local label from the suffix @samp{B} for a number in binary notation.

@node Z80 Floating Point

@section Floating Point

@cindex floating point, Z80

@cindex Z80 floating point

Floating-point numbers are not supported.

@node Z80 Directives

@section Z80 Assembler Directives

@command{@value{AS}} for the Z80 supports some additional directives for

compatibility with other assemblers.

@cindex Z80-only directives

These are the additional directives in @code{@value{AS}} for the Z80:

@table @code

@item db @var{expression}|@var{string}[,@var{expression}|@var{string}...]

@itemx defb @var{expression}|@var{string}[,@var{expression}|@var{string}...]

For each @var{string} the characters are copied to the object file, for

each other @var{expression} the value is stored in one byte.

A warning is issued in case of an overflow.

@item dw @var{expression}[,@var{expression}...]

@itemx defw @var{expression}[,@var{expression}...]

For each @var{expression} the value is stored in two bytes, ignoring

overflow.

@item d24 @var{expression}[,@var{expression}...]

@itemx def24 @var{expression}[,@var{expression}...]

For each @var{expression} the value is stored in three bytes, ignoring

overflow.

@item d32 @var{expression}[,@var{expression}...]

@itemx def32 @var{expression}[,@var{expression}...]

For each @var{expression} the value is stored in four bytes, ignoring

overflow.

@item ds @var{count}[, @var{value}]

@itemx defs @var{count}[, @var{value}]

@c Synonyms for @code{ds.b},

@c which should have been described elsewhere

Fill @var{count} bytes in the object file with @var{value}, if

@var{value} is omitted it defaults to zero.

@item @var{symbol} equ @var{expression}

@itemx @var{symbol} defl @var{expression}

These directives set the value of @var{symbol} to @var{expression}. If

@code{equ} is used, it is an error if @var{symbol} is already defined.

Symbols defined with @code{equ} are not protected from redefinition.

@item set

This is a normal instruction on Z80, and not an assembler directive.

@item psect @var{name}

A synonym for @xref{Section}, no second argument should be given.

@ignore

The following attributes will possibly be recognized in the future

@table @code

@item abs

The section is to be absolute. @code{@value{AS}} will issue an error

message because it can not produce an absolute section.

@item global

The section is to be concatenated with other sections of the same name

by the linker, this is the default.

@item local

The section is not global. @code{@value{AS}} will issue a warning if

object file format is not soff.

@item ovrld

The section is to be overlapped with other sections of the same name by

the linker. @code{@value{AS}} will issue an error message

because it can not mark a section as such.

@item pure

The section is marked as read only.

@end table

@end ignore

@end table

@node Z80 Opcodes

@section Opcodes

In line with common practice, Z80 mnemonics are used for both the Z80 and

the R800.

In many instructions it is possible to use one of the half index

registers (@samp{ixl},@samp{ixh},@samp{iyl},@samp{iyh}) in stead of an

8-bit general purpose register. This yields instructions that are

documented on the R800 and undocumented on the Z80.

Similarly @code{in f,(c)} is documented on the R800 and undocumented on

the Z80.

The assembler also supports the following undocumented Z80-instructions,

that have not been adopted in the R800 instruction set:

@table @code

@item out (c),0

Sends zero to the port pointed to by register c.

@item sli @var{m}

Equivalent to @code{@var{m} = (@var{m}<<1)+1}, the operand @var{m} can

be any operand that is valid for @samp{sla}. One can use @samp{sll} as a

synonym for @samp{sli}.

@item @var{op} (ix+@var{d}), @var{r}

This is equivalent to

@example

ld @var{r}, (ix+@var{d})

@var{opc} @var{r}

ld (ix+@var{d}), @var{r}

@end example

The operation @samp{@var{opc}} may be any of @samp{res @var{b},},

@samp{set @var{b},}, @samp{rl}, @samp{rlc}, @samp{rr}, @samp{rrc},

@samp{sla}, @samp{sli}, @samp{sra} and @samp{srl}, and the register

@samp{@var{r}} may be any of @samp{a}, @samp{b}, @samp{c}, @samp{d},

@samp{e}, @samp{h} and @samp{l}.

@item @var{opc} (iy+@var{d}), @var{r}

As above, but with @samp{iy} instead of @samp{ix}.
