<p>Block comments are delimited by ‘<samp>/*</samp>’ and ‘<samp>*/</samp>’. End of line
|
comments may be introduced with either ‘<samp>#</samp>’ or ‘<samp>//</samp>’.
|
</p>
|
<p>If a ‘<samp>#</samp>’ appears as the first character of a line then the whole
|
line is treated as a comment, but in this case the line could also be
|
a logical line number directive (see <a href="Comments.html#Comments">Comments</a>) or a preprocessor
|
control command (see <a href="Preprocessing.html#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>).
|
</p>
|
<p>Instructions consist of a leading opcode or macro name followed by
|
whitespace and an optional comma-separated list of operands:
|
</p>
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample"><var>opcode</var> [<var>operand</var>, …]
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>Instructions must be separated by a newline or semicolon (‘<samp>;</samp>’).
|
</p>
|
<p>FLIX instructions, which bundle multiple opcodes together in a single
|
instruction, are specified by enclosing the bundled opcodes inside
|
braces:
|
</p>
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample">{
|
[<var>format</var>]
|
<var>opcode0</var> [<var>operands</var>]
|
</pre><pre class="smallexample"><var>opcode1</var> [<var>operands</var>]
|
</pre><pre class="smallexample"><var>opcode2</var> [<var>operands</var>]
|
…
|
}
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>The opcodes in a FLIX instruction are listed in the same order as the
|
corresponding instruction slots in the TIE format declaration.
|
Directives and labels are not allowed inside the braces of a FLIX
|
instruction. A particular TIE format name can optionally be specified
|
immediately after the opening brace, but this is usually unnecessary.
|
The assembler will automatically search for a format that can encode the
|
specified opcodes, so the format name need only be specified in rare
|
cases where there is more than one applicable format and where it
|
matters which of those formats is used. A FLIX instruction can also be
|
specified on a single line by separating the opcodes with semicolons:
|
</p>
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample">{ [<var>format</var>;] <var>opcode0</var> [<var>operands</var>]; <var>opcode1</var> [<var>operands</var>]; <var>opcode2</var> [<var>operands</var>]; … }
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>If an opcode can only be encoded in a FLIX instruction but is not
|
specified as part of a FLIX bundle, the assembler will choose the
|
smallest format where the opcode can be encoded and
|
will fill unused instruction slots with no-ops.
