@section Options

@cindex options, TIC54X

@cindex TIC54X options

The TMS320C54X version of @code{@value{AS}} has a few machine-dependent options.

@cindex @samp{-mfar-mode} option, far-mode

@cindex @samp{-mf} option, far-mode

You can use the @samp{-mfar-mode} option to enable extended addressing mode.

All addresses will be assumed to be > 16 bits, and the appropriate

relocation types will be used.  This option is equivalent to using the

@samp{.far_mode} directive in the assembly code.  If you do not use the

@samp{-mfar-mode} option, all references will be assumed to be 16 bits.

This option may be abbreviated to @samp{-mf}.

@cindex @samp{-mcpu} option, cpu

You can use the @samp{-mcpu} option to specify a particular CPU.

This option is equivalent to using the @samp{.version} directive in the

assembly code.  For recognized CPU codes, see

@xref{TIC54X-Directives,,@code{.version}}.  The default CPU version is

@samp{542}.

@cindex @samp{-merrors-to-file} option, stderr redirect

@cindex @samp{-me} option, stderr redirect

You can use the @samp{-merrors-to-file} option to redirect error output

to a file (this provided for those deficient environments which don't

provide adequate output redirection).  This option may be abbreviated to

@samp{-me}.

@node TIC54X-Block

@section Blocking

A blocked section or memory block is guaranteed not to cross the blocking

boundary (usually a page, or 128 words) if it is smaller than the

blocking size, or to start on a page boundary if it is larger than the

blocking size.

@node TIC54X-Env

@section Environment Settings

@cindex environment settings, TIC54X

@cindex @samp{A_DIR} environment variable, TIC54X

@cindex @samp{C54XDSP_DIR} environment variable, TIC54X

@samp{C54XDSP_DIR} and @samp{A_DIR} are semicolon-separated

paths which are added to the list of directories normally searched for

source and include files.  @samp{C54XDSP_DIR} will override @samp{A_DIR}.

@node TIC54X-Constants

@section Constants Syntax

@cindex constants, TIC54X

The TIC54X version of @code{@value{AS}} allows the following additional

constant formats, using a suffix to indicate the radix:

@smallexample

@cindex binary constants, TIC54X

Binary                  @code{000000B, 011000b}

Octal                   @code{10Q, 224q}

Hexadecimal             @code{45h, 0FH}

@end smallexample

@node TIC54X-Subsyms

@section String Substitution

A subset of allowable symbols (which we'll call subsyms) may be assigned

arbitrary string values.  This is roughly equivalent to C preprocessor

#define macros.  When @code{@value{AS}} encounters one of these

symbols, the symbol is replaced in the input stream by its string value.

Subsym names @strong{must} begin with a letter.

Subsyms may be defined using the @code{.asg} and @code{.eval} directives

(@xref{TIC54X-Directives,,@code{.asg}},

@xref{TIC54X-Directives,,@code{.eval}}.

Expansion is recursive until a previously encountered symbol is seen, at

which point substitution stops.

In this example, x is replaced with SYM2; SYM2 is replaced with SYM1, and SYM1

is replaced with x.  At this point, x has already been encountered

and the substitution stops.

@smallexample @code

 .asg   "x",SYM1

 .asg   "SYM1",SYM2

 .asg   "SYM2",x

 add    x,a             ; final code assembled is "add  x, a"

@end smallexample

Macro parameters are converted to subsyms; a side effect of this is the normal

@code{@value{AS}} '\ARG' dereferencing syntax is unnecessary.  Subsyms

defined within a macro will have global scope, unless the @code{.var}

directive is used to identify the subsym as a local macro variable

@pxref{TIC54X-Directives,,@code{.var}}.

Substitution may be forced in situations where replacement might be

ambiguous by placing colons on either side of the subsym.  The following

code:

@smallexample @code

 .eval  "10",x

LAB:X:  add     #x, a

@end smallexample

When assembled becomes:

@smallexample @code

LAB10  add     #10, a

@end smallexample

Smaller parts of the string assigned to a subsym may be accessed with

the following syntax:

@table @code

@item @code{:@var{symbol}(@var{char_index}):}

Evaluates to a single-character string, the character at @var{char_index}.

@item @code{:@var{symbol}(@var{start},@var{length}):}

Evaluates to a substring of @var{symbol} beginning at @var{start} with

length @var{length}.

@end table

@node TIC54X-Locals

@section Local Labels

Local labels may be defined in two ways:

@itemize @bullet

@item

$N, where N is a decimal number between 0 and 9

@item

LABEL?, where LABEL is any legal symbol name.

@end itemize

Local labels thus defined may be redefined or automatically generated.

The scope of a local label is based on when it may be undefined or reset.

This happens when one of the following situations is encountered:

@itemize @bullet

@item

.newblock directive @pxref{TIC54X-Directives,,@code{.newblock}}

@item

The current section is changed (.sect, .text, or .data)

@item

Entering or leaving an included file

@item

The macro scope where the label was defined is exited

@end itemize

@node TIC54X-Builtins

@end table

@node TIC54X-Ext

@section Extended Addressing

The @code{LDX} pseudo-op is provided for loading the extended addressing bits

of a label or address.  For example, if an address @code{_label} resides

in extended program memory, the value of @code{_label} may be loaded as

follows:

@smallexample @code

 ldx     #_label,16,a    ; loads extended bits of _label

 or      #_label,a       ; loads lower 16 bits of _label

 bacc    a               ; full address is in accumulator A

@cindex TIC54X machine directives

@table @code

@cindex @code{align} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{even} directive, TIC54X

@item .align [@var{size}]

@itemx .even

Align the section program counter on the next boundary, based on

@var{size}.  @var{size} may be any power of 2.  @code{.even} is

equivalent to @code{.align} with a @var{size} of 2.

@table @code

@item 1

Align SPC to word boundary

@item 2

Align SPC to longword boundary (same as .even)

@item 128

Align SPC to page boundary

@end table

@cindex @code{asg} directive, TIC54X

@item .asg @var{string}, @var{name}

Assign @var{name} the string @var{string}.  String replacement is

performed on @var{string} before assignment.

@cindex @code{eval} directive, TIC54X

@itemx .eval @var{string}, @var{name}

Evaluate the contents of string @var{string} and assign the result as a

string to the subsym @var{name}.  String replacement is performed on

@var{string} before assignment.

@cindex @code{bss} directive, TIC54X

@item .bss @var{symbol}, @var{size} [, [@var{blocking_flag}] [,@var{alignment_flag}]]

Reserve space for @var{symbol} in the .bss section.  @var{size} is in

words.  If present, @var{blocking_flag} indicates the allocated space

should be aligned on a page boundary if it would otherwise cross a page

boundary.  If present, @var{alignment_flag} causes the assembler to

allocate @var{size} on a long word boundary.

@cindex @code{byte} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{ubyte} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{char} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{uchar} directive, TIC54X

@item .byte @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

@itemx .ubyte @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

@itemx .char @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

@itemx .uchar @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

Place one or more bytes into consecutive words of the current section.

The upper 8 bits of each word is zero-filled.  If a label is used, it

points to the word allocated for the first byte encountered.

@cindex @code{clink} directive, TIC54X

@item .clink ["@var{section_name}"]

Set STYP_CLINK flag for this section, which indicates to the linker that

if no symbols from this section are referenced, the section should not

be included in the link.  If @var{section_name} is omitted, the current

section is used.

@cindex @code{c_mode} directive, TIC54X

@item .c_mode

TBD.

@cindex @code{copy} directive, TIC54X

@item .copy "@var{filename}" | @var{filename}

@itemx .include "@var{filename}" | @var{filename}

Read source statements from @var{filename}.  The normal include search

path is used.  Normally .copy will cause statements from the included

file to be printed in the assembly listing and .include will not, but

this distinction is not currently implemented.

@cindex @code{data} directive, TIC54X

@item .data

Begin assembling code into the .data section.

@cindex @code{double} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{ldouble} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{float} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{xfloat} directive, TIC54X

@item .double @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

@itemx .ldouble @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

@itemx .float @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

@itemx .xfloat @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

Place an IEEE single-precision floating-point representation of one or

more floating-point values into the current section.  All but

@code{.xfloat} align the result on a longword boundary.  Values are

stored most-significant word first.

@cindex @code{drlist} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{drnolist} directive, TIC54X

@item .drlist

@itemx .drnolist

Control printing of directives to the listing file.  Ignored.

@cindex @code{emsg} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{mmsg} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{wmsg} directive, TIC54X

@item .emsg @var{string}

@itemx .mmsg @var{string}

@itemx .wmsg @var{string}

Emit a user-defined error, message, or warning, respectively.

@cindex @code{far_mode} directive, TIC54X

@item .far_mode

Use extended addressing when assembling statements.  This should appear

only once per file, and is equivalent to the -mfar-mode option @pxref{TIC54X-Opts,,@code{-mfar-mode}}.

@cindex @code{fclist} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{fcnolist} directive, TIC54X

@item .fclist

@itemx .fcnolist

Control printing of false conditional blocks to the listing file.

@cindex @code{field} directive, TIC54X

@item .field @var{value} [,@var{size}]

Initialize a bitfield of @var{size} bits in the current section.  If

@var{value} is relocatable, then @var{size} must be 16.  @var{size}

defaults to 16 bits.  If @var{value} does not fit into @var{size} bits,

the value will be truncated.  Successive @code{.field} directives will

pack starting at the current word, filling the most significant bits

first, and aligning to the start of the next word if the field size does

not fit into the space remaining in the current word.  A @code{.align}

directive with an operand of 1 will force the next @code{.field}

directive to begin packing into a new word.  If a label is used, it

points to the word that contains the specified field.

@cindex @code{global} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{def} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{ref} directive, TIC54X

@item .global @var{symbol} [,...,@var{symbol_n}]

@itemx .def @var{symbol} [,...,@var{symbol_n}]

@itemx .ref @var{symbol} [,...,@var{symbol_n}]

@code{.def} nominally identifies a symbol defined in the current file

and available to other files.  @code{.ref} identifies a symbol used in

the current file but defined elsewhere.  Both map to the standard

@code{.global} directive.

@cindex @code{half} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{uhalf} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{short} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{ushort} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{int} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{uint} directive, TIC54X

@itemx .ushort @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

@itemx .int @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

@itemx .uint @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

@itemx .word @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

@itemx .uword @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

Place one or more values into consecutive words of the current section.

If a label is used, it points to the word allocated for the first value

encountered.

@cindex @code{label} directive, TIC54X

@item .label @var{symbol}

Define a special @var{symbol} to refer to the load time address of the

current section program counter.

@cindex @code{length} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{width} directive, TIC54X

@item .length

@itemx .width

Set the page length and width of the output listing file.  Ignored.

@cindex @code{list} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{nolist} directive, TIC54X

@item .list

@itemx .nolist

Control whether the source listing is printed.  Ignored.

@cindex @code{long} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{ulong} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{xlong} directive, TIC54X

@item .long @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

@itemx .ulong @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

@itemx .xlong @var{value} [,...,@var{value_n}]

Place one or more 32-bit values into consecutive words in the current

section.  The most significant word is stored first.  @code{.long} and

@code{.ulong} align the result on a longword boundary; @code{xlong} does

not.

@cindex @code{loop} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{break} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{endloop} directive, TIC54X

@item .loop [@var{count}]

@itemx .break [@var{condition}]

@itemx .endloop

Repeatedly assemble a block of code.  @code{.loop} begins the block, and

@code{.endloop} marks its termination.  @var{count} defaults to 1024,

and indicates the number of times the block should be repeated.

@code{.break} terminates the loop so that assembly begins after the

@code{.endloop} directive.  The optional @var{condition} will cause the

loop to terminate only if it evaluates to zero.

@cindex @code{macro} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{endm} directive, TIC54X

@item @var{macro_name} .macro [@var{param1}][,...@var{param_n}]

@itemx [.mexit]

@itemx .endm

See the section on macros for more explanation (@xref{TIC54X-Macros}.

@cindex @code{mlib} directive, TIC54X

@item .mlib "@var{filename}" | @var{filename}

Load the macro library @var{filename}.  @var{filename} must be an

archived library (BFD ar-compatible) of text files, expected to contain

only macro definitions.   The standard include search path is used.

@cindex @code{mlist} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{mnolist} directive, TIC54X

@item .mlist

@item .mnolist

Control whether to include macro and loop block expansions in the

listing output.  Ignored.

@cindex @code{mmregs} directive, TIC54X

@item .mmregs

Define global symbolic names for the 'c54x registers.  Supposedly

equivalent to executing @code{.set} directives for each register with

its memory-mapped value, but in reality is provided only for

compatibility and does nothing.

@cindex @code{newblock} directive, TIC54X

@item .newblock

This directive resets any TIC54X local labels currently defined.  Normal

@code{@value{AS}} local labels are unaffected.

@cindex @code{option} directive, TIC54X

@item .option @var{option_list}

Set listing options.  Ignored.

@cindex @code{sblock} directive, TIC54X

@item .sblock "@var{section_name}" | @var{section_name} [,"@var{name_n}" | @var{name_n}]

Designate @var{section_name} for blocking.  Blocking guarantees that a

section will start on a page boundary (128 words) if it would otherwise

cross a page boundary.  Only initialized sections may be designated with

this directive.  See also @xref{TIC54X-Block}.

@cindex @code{sect} directive, TIC54X

@item .sect "@var{section_name}"

Define a named initialized section and make it the current section.

@cindex @code{set} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{equ} directive, TIC54X

@item @var{symbol} .set "@var{value}"

@itemx @var{symbol} .equ "@var{value}"

Equate a constant @var{value} to a @var{symbol}, which is placed in the

symbol table.  @var{symbol} may not be previously defined.

@cindex @code{space} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{bes} directive, TIC54X

@item .space @var{size_in_bits}

@itemx .bes @var{size_in_bits}

Reserve the given number of bits in the current section and zero-fill

them.  If a label is used with @code{.space}, it points to the

@strong{first} word reserved.  With @code{.bes}, the label points to the

@strong{last} word reserved.

@cindex @code{sslist} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{ssnolist} directive, TIC54X

@item .sslist

@itemx .ssnolist

Controls the inclusion of subsym replacement in the listing output.  Ignored.

@cindex @code{string} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{pstring} directive, TIC54X

@item .string "@var{string}" [,...,"@var{string_n}"]

@itemx .pstring "@var{string}" [,...,"@var{string_n}"]

Place 8-bit characters from @var{string} into the current section.

@code{.string} zero-fills the upper 8 bits of each word, while

@code{.pstring} puts two characters into each word, filling the

most-significant bits first.  Unused space is zero-filled.  If a label

is used, it points to the first word initialized.

@cindex @code{struct} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{tag} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{endstruct} directive, TIC54X

@item [@var{stag}] .struct [@var{offset}]

@itemx [@var{name_1}] element [@var{count_1}]

@itemx [@var{name_2}] element [@var{count_2}]

@itemx [@var{tname}] .tag @var{stagx} [@var{tcount}]

@itemx ...

@itemx [@var{name_n}] element [@var{count_n}]

@itemx [@var{ssize}] .endstruct

@itemx @var{label} .tag [@var{stag}]

Assign symbolic offsets to the elements of a structure.  @var{stag}

defines a symbol to use to reference the structure.  @var{offset}

indicates a starting value to use for the first element encountered;

otherwise it defaults to zero.  Each element can have a named offset,

@var{name}, which is a symbol assigned the value of the element's offset

into the structure.  If @var{stag} is missing, these become global

symbols.  @var{count} adjusts the offset that many times, as if

@code{element} were an array.  @code{element} may be one of

@code{.byte}, @code{.word}, @code{.long}, @code{.float}, or any

equivalent of those, and the structure offset is adjusted accordingly.

@code{.field} and @code{.string} are also allowed; the size of

@code{.field} is one bit, and @code{.string} is considered to be one

word in size.  Only element descriptors, structure/union tags,

@code{.align} and conditional assembly directives are allowed within

@code{.struct}/@code{.endstruct}.  @code{.align} aligns member offsets

to word boundaries only.  @var{ssize}, if provided, will always be

assigned the size of the structure.

The @code{.tag} directive, in addition to being used to define a

structure/union element within a structure, may be used to apply a

structure to a symbol.  Once applied to @var{label}, the individual

structure elements may be applied to @var{label} to produce the desired

offsets using @var{label} as the structure base.

@cindex @code{tab} directive, TIC54X

@item .tab

Set the tab size in the output listing.  Ignored.

@cindex @code{union} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{tag} directive, TIC54X

@cindex @code{endunion} directive, TIC54X

@item [@var{utag}] .union

@itemx [@var{name_1}] element [@var{count_1}]

@itemx [@var{name_2}] element [@var{count_2}]

@itemx [@var{tname}] .tag @var{utagx}[,@var{tcount}]

@itemx ...

@itemx [@var{name_n}] element [@var{count_n}]

@itemx [@var{usize}] .endstruct

@itemx @var{label} .tag [@var{utag}]

Similar to @code{.struct}, but the offset after each element is reset to

zero, and the @var{usize} is set to the maximum of all defined elements.

Starting offset for the union is always zero.

@cindex @code{usect} directive, TIC54X

@item [@var{symbol}] .usect "@var{section_name}", @var{size}, [,[@var{blocking_flag}] [,@var{alignment_flag}]]

Reserve space for variables in a named, uninitialized section (similar to

.bss).  @code{.usect} allows definitions sections independent of .bss.

@var{symbol} points to the first location reserved by this allocation.

The symbol may be used as a variable name.  @var{size} is the allocated

size in words.  @var{blocking_flag} indicates whether to block this

section on a page boundary (128 words) (@pxref{TIC54X-Block}).

@var{alignment flag} indicates whether the section should be

longword-aligned.

@cindex @code{var} directive, TIC54X

@item .var @var{sym}[,..., @var{sym_n}]

Define a subsym to be a local variable within a macro.  See

@xref{TIC54X-Macros}.

@cindex @code{version} directive, TIC54X

@item .version @var{version}

Set which processor to build instructions for.  Though the following

values are accepted, the op is ignored.

@cindex TIC54X-specific macros

@cindex macros, TIC54X

Macros do not require explicit dereferencing of arguments (i.e., \ARG).

During macro expansion, the macro parameters are converted to subsyms.

If the number of arguments passed the macro invocation exceeds the

number of parameters defined, the last parameter is assigned the string

equivalent of all remaining arguments.  If fewer arguments are given

than parameters, the missing parameters are assigned empty strings.  To

include a comma in an argument, you must enclose the argument in quotes.

@cindex TIC54X subsym builtins

@cindex builtin subsym functions, TIC54X

The following built-in subsym functions allow examination of the string

value of subsyms (or ordinary strings).  The arguments are strings

unless otherwise indicated (subsyms passed as args will be replaced by

the strings they represent).

@table @code

@cindex @code{$symlen} subsym builtin, TIC54X

@item @code{$symlen(@var{str})}

Returns the length of @var{str}.

@cindex @code{$symcmp} subsym builtin, TIC54X

@item @code{$symcmp(@var{str1},@var{str2})}

Returns 0 if @var{str1} == @var{str2}, non-zero otherwise.

@cindex @code{$firstch} subsym builtin, TIC54X

@item @code{$firstch(@var{str},@var{ch})}

Returns index of the first occurrence of character constant @var{ch} in

@var{str}.

@cindex @code{$lastch} subsym builtin, TIC54X

@item @code{$lastch(@var{str},@var{ch})}

Returns index of the last occurrence of character constant @var{ch} in

@var{str}.

@cindex @code{$isdefed} subsym builtin, TIC54X

@item @code{$isdefed(@var{symbol})}

Returns zero if the symbol @var{symbol} is not in the symbol table,

non-zero otherwise.

@cindex @code{$ismember} subsym builtin, TIC54X

@item @code{$ismember(@var{symbol},@var{list})}

Assign the first member of comma-separated string @var{list} to

@var{symbol}; @var{list} is reassigned the remainder of the list.  Returns

zero if @var{list} is a null string.  Both arguments must be subsyms.

@cindex @code{$iscons} subsym builtin, TIC54X

@item @code{$iscons(@var{expr})}

Returns 1 if string @var{expr} is binary, 2 if octal, 3 if hexadecimal,

4 if a character, 5 if decimal, and zero if not an integer.

@cindex @code{$isname} subsym builtin, TIC54X

@item @code{$isname(@var{name})}

Returns 1 if @var{name} is a valid symbol name, zero otherwise.

@cindex @code{$isreg} subsym builtin, TIC54X

@item @code{$isreg(@var{reg})}

Returns 1 if @var{reg} is a valid predefined register name (AR0-AR7 only).

@cindex @code{$structsz} subsym builtin, TIC54X

@item @code{$structsz(@var{stag})}

Returns the size of the structure or union represented by @var{stag}.

@cindex @code{$structacc} subsym builtin, TIC54X

@item @code{$structacc(@var{stag})}

Returns the reference point of the structure or union represented by

@var{stag}.   Always returns zero.
