|
<a name="index-immediate-fields_002c-relaxation"></a>
|
<a name="index-relaxation-of-immediate-fields"></a>
|
|
<p>The assembler normally performs the following other relaxations. They
|
can be disabled by using underscore prefixes (see <a href="Xtensa-Opcodes.html#Xtensa-Opcodes">Opcode Names</a>), the ‘<samp>--no-transform</samp>’ command-line option
|
(see <a href="Xtensa-Options.html#Xtensa-Options">Command-line Options</a>), or the
|
<code>no-transform</code> directive (see <a href="Transform-Directive.html#Transform-Directive">transform</a>).
|
</p>
|
<a name="index-MOVI-instructions_002c-relaxation"></a>
|
<a name="index-relaxation-of-MOVI-instructions"></a>
|
<p>The <code>MOVI</code> machine instruction can only materialize values in the
|
range from -2048 to 2047. Values outside this range are best
|
materialized with <code>L32R</code> instructions. Thus:
|
</p>
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample"> movi a0, 100000
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>is assembled into the following machine code:
|
</p>
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample"> .literal .L1, 100000
|
l32r a0, .L1
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<a name="index-L8UI-instructions_002c-relaxation"></a>
|
<a name="index-L16SI-instructions_002c-relaxation"></a>
|
<a name="index-L16UI-instructions_002c-relaxation"></a>
|
<a name="index-L32I-instructions_002c-relaxation"></a>
|
<a name="index-relaxation-of-L8UI-instructions"></a>
|
<a name="index-relaxation-of-L16SI-instructions"></a>
|
<a name="index-relaxation-of-L16UI-instructions"></a>
|
<a name="index-relaxation-of-L32I-instructions"></a>
|
<p>The <code>L8UI</code> machine instruction can only be used with immediate
|
offsets in the range from 0 to 255. The <code>L16SI</code> and <code>L16UI</code>
|
machine instructions can only be used with offsets from 0 to 510. The
|
<code>L32I</code> machine instruction can only be used with offsets from 0 to
|
1020. A load offset outside these ranges can be materialized with
|
an <code>L32R</code> instruction if the destination register of the load
|
is different than the source address register. For example:
|
</p>
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample"> l32i a1, a0, 2040
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>is translated to:
|
</p>
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample"> .literal .L1, 2040
|
l32r a1, .L1
|
</pre><pre class="smallexample"> add a1, a0, a1
|
l32i a1, a1, 0
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>If the load destination and source address register are the same, an
|
out-of-range offset causes an error.
|
</p>
|
<a name="index-ADDI-instructions_002c-relaxation"></a>
|
<a name="index-relaxation-of-ADDI-instructions"></a>
|
<p>The Xtensa <code>ADDI</code> instruction only allows immediate operands in the
|
range from -128 to 127. There are a number of alternate instruction
|
sequences for the <code>ADDI</code> operation. First, if the
|
immediate is 0, the <code>ADDI</code> will be turned into a <code>MOV.N</code>
|
instruction (or the equivalent <code>OR</code> instruction if the code density
|
option is not available). If the <code>ADDI</code> immediate is outside of
|
the range -128 to 127, but inside the range -32896 to 32639, an
|
<code>ADDMI</code> instruction or <code>ADDMI</code>/<code>ADDI</code> sequence will be
|
used. Finally, if the immediate is outside of this range and a free
|
register is available, an <code>L32R</code>/<code>ADD</code> sequence will be used
|
with a literal allocated from the literal pool.
|
</p>
|
<p>For example:
|
</p>
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample"> addi a5, a6, 0
|
addi a5, a6, 512
|
</pre><pre class="smallexample"> addi a5, a6, 513
|
addi a5, a6, 50000
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>is assembled into the following:
|
</p>
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample"> .literal .L1, 50000
|
mov.n a5, a6
|
</pre><pre class="smallexample"> addmi a5, a6, 0x200
|
addmi a5, a6, 0x200
|
addi a5, a5, 1
|
</pre><pre class="smallexample"> l32r a5, .L1
|
add a5, a6, a5
|
</pre></div>
