If you use (or have used) the \s-1GNU\s0 assembler on one architecture, you
should find a fairly similar environment when you use it on another
architecture. Each version has much in common with the others,
including object file formats, most assembler directives (often called
\&\fIpseudo-ops\fR) and assembler syntax.
.PP
\&\fBas\fR is primarily intended to assemble the output of the
\&\s-1GNU\s0 C compiler \f(CW\*(C`gcc\*(C'\fR for use by the linker
\&\f(CW\*(C`ld\*(C'\fR. Nevertheless, we've tried to make \fBas\fR
assemble correctly everything that other assemblers for the same
machine would assemble.
Any exceptions are documented explicitly.
This doesn't mean \fBas\fR always uses the same syntax as another
assembler for the same architecture; for example, we know of several
incompatible versions of 680x0 assembly language syntax.
.PP
Each time you run \fBas\fR it assembles exactly one source
program. The source program is made up of one or more files.
(The standard input is also a file.)
.PP
You give \fBas\fR a command line that has zero or more input file
names. The input files are read (from left file name to right). A
command line argument (in any position) that has no special meaning
is taken to be an input file name.
.PP
If you give \fBas\fR no file names it attempts to read one input file
from the \fBas\fR standard input, which is normally your terminal. You
may have to type \fBctl-D\fR to tell \fBas\fR there is no more program
to assemble.
.PP
Use \fB\-\-\fR if you need to explicitly name the standard input file
in your command line.
.PP
If the source is empty, \fBas\fR produces a small, empty object
file.
.PP
\&\fBas\fR may write warnings and error messages to the standard error
file (usually your terminal). This should not happen when a compiler
runs \fBas\fR automatically. Warnings report an assumption made so
that \fBas\fR could keep assembling a flawed program; errors report a
grave problem that stops the assembly.
.PP
If you are invoking \fBas\fR via the \s-1GNU\s0 C compiler,
you can use the \fB\-Wa\fR option to pass arguments through to the assembler.
The assembler arguments must be separated from each other (and the \fB\-Wa\fR)
by commas. For example:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& gcc \-c \-g \-O \-Wa,\-alh,\-L file.c
.Ve
.PP
This passes two options to the assembler: \fB\-alh\fR (emit a listing to
standard output with high-level and assembly source) and \fB\-L\fR (retain
local symbols in the symbol table).
.PP
Usually you do not need to use this \fB\-Wa\fR mechanism, since many compiler
command-line options are automatically passed to the assembler by the compiler.
(You can call the \s-1GNU\s0 compiler driver with the \fB\-v\fR option to see
precisely what options it passes to each compilation pass, including the
assembler.)
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB@\fR\fIfile\fR" 4
.IX Item "@file"
Read command-line options from \fIfile\fR. The options read are
inserted in place of the original @\fIfile\fR option. If \fIfile\fR
does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
literally, and not removed.
.Sp
Options in \fIfile\fR are separated by whitespace. A whitespace
character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a
backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included
with a backslash. The \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional
@\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively.
.IP "\fB\-a[cdghlmns]\fR" 4
.IX Item "-a[cdghlmns]"
Turn on listings, in any of a variety of ways:
.RS 4
.IP "\fB\-ac\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ac"
omit false conditionals
.IP "\fB\-ad\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ad"
omit debugging directives
.IP "\fB\-ag\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ag"
include general information, like as version and options passed
.IP "\fB\-ah\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ah"
include high-level source
.IP "\fB\-al\fR" 4
.IX Item "-al"
include assembly
.IP "\fB\-am\fR" 4
.IX Item "-am"
include macro expansions
.IP "\fB\-an\fR" 4
.IX Item "-an"
omit forms processing
.IP "\fB\-as\fR" 4
.IX Item "-as"
include symbols
.IP "\fB=file\fR" 4
.IX Item "=file"
set the name of the listing file
.RE
.RS 4
.Sp
You may combine these options; for example, use \fB\-aln\fR for assembly
listing without forms processing. The \fB=file\fR option, if used, must be
the last one. By itself, \fB\-a\fR defaults to \fB\-ahls\fR.
.RE
.IP "\fB\-\-alternate\fR" 4
.IX Item "--alternate"
Begin in alternate macro mode.
.IP "\fB\-\-compress\-debug\-sections\fR" 4
.IX Item "--compress-debug-sections"
Compress \s-1DWARF\s0 debug sections using zlib with \s-1SHF_COMPRESSED\s0 from the
\&\s-1ELF\s0 \s-1ABI\s0. The resulting object file may not be compatible with older
linkers and object file utilities. Note if compression would make a
given section \fIlarger\fR then it is not compressed.
.IP "\fB\-\-compress\-debug\-sections=none\fR" 4
.IX Item "--compress-debug-sections=none"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-compress\-debug\-sections=zlib\fR" 4
.IX Item "--compress-debug-sections=zlib"
.IP "\fB\-\-compress\-debug\-sections=zlib\-gnu\fR" 4
.IX Item "--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu"
.IP "\fB\-\-compress\-debug\-sections=zlib\-gabi\fR" 4
.IX Item "--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gabi"
.PD
These options control how \s-1DWARF\s0 debug sections are compressed.
\&\fB\-\-compress\-debug\-sections=none\fR is equivalent to
\&\fB\-\-nocompress\-debug\-sections\fR.
\&\fB\-\-compress\-debug\-sections=zlib\fR and
\&\fB\-\-compress\-debug\-sections=zlib\-gabi\fR are equivalent to
\&\fB\-\-compress\-debug\-sections\fR.
\&\fB\-\-compress\-debug\-sections=zlib\-gnu\fR compresses \s-1DWARF\s0 debug
sections using zlib. The debug sections are renamed to begin with
\&\fB.zdebug\fR. Note if compression would make a given section
\&\fIlarger\fR then it is not compressed nor renamed.
.IP "\fB\-\-nocompress\-debug\-sections\fR" 4
.IX Item "--nocompress-debug-sections"
Do not compress \s-1DWARF\s0 debug sections. This is usually the default for all
targets except the x86/x86_64, but a configure time option can be used to
override this.
.IP "\fB\-D\fR" 4
.IX Item "-D"
Ignored. This option is accepted for script compatibility with calls to
other assemblers.
.IP "\fB\-\-debug\-prefix\-map\fR \fIold\fR\fB=\fR\fInew\fR" 4
.IX Item "--debug-prefix-map old=new"
When assembling files in directory \fI\fIold\fI\fR, record debugging
information describing them as in \fI\fInew\fI\fR instead.
.IP "\fB\-\-defsym\fR \fIsym\fR\fB=\fR\fIvalue\fR" 4
.IX Item "--defsym sym=value"
Define the symbol \fIsym\fR to be \fIvalue\fR before assembling the input file.
\&\fIvalue\fR must be an integer constant. As in C, a leading \fB0x\fR
indicates a hexadecimal value, and a leading \fB0\fR indicates an octal
value. The value of the symbol can be overridden inside a source file via the
use of a \f(CW\*(C`.set\*(C'\fR pseudo-op.
.IP "\fB\-f\fR" 4
.IX Item "-f"
\&\*(L"fast\*(R"\-\-\-skip whitespace and comment preprocessing (assume source is
compiler output).
.IP "\fB\-g\fR" 4
.IX Item "-g"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-gen\-debug\fR" 4
.IX Item "--gen-debug"
.PD
Generate debugging information for each assembler source line using whichever
debug format is preferred by the target. This currently means either \s-1STABS\s0,
\&\s-1ECOFF\s0 or \s-1DWARF2\s0.
.IP "\fB\-\-gstabs\fR" 4
.IX Item "--gstabs"
Generate stabs debugging information for each assembler line. This
may help debugging assembler code, if the debugger can handle it.
.IP "\fB\-\-gstabs+\fR" 4
.IX Item "--gstabs+"
Generate stabs debugging information for each assembler line, with \s-1GNU\s0
extensions that probably only gdb can handle, and that could make other
debuggers crash or refuse to read your program. This
may help debugging assembler code. Currently the only \s-1GNU\s0 extension is
the location of the current working directory at assembling time.
.IP "\fB\-\-gdwarf\-2\fR" 4
.IX Item "--gdwarf-2"
Generate \s-1DWARF2\s0 debugging information for each assembler line. This
may help debugging assembler code, if the debugger can handle it. Note\-\-\-this
option is only supported by some targets, not all of them.
.IP "\fB\-\-gdwarf\-sections\fR" 4
.IX Item "--gdwarf-sections"
Instead of creating a .debug_line section, create a series of
\&.debug_line.\fIfoo\fR sections where \fIfoo\fR is the name of the
corresponding code section. For example a code section called \fI.text.func\fR
will have its dwarf line number information placed into a section called
\&\fI.debug_line.text.func\fR. If the code section is just called \fI.text\fR
then debug line section will still be called just \fI.debug_line\fR without any
suffix.
.IP "\fB\-\-size\-check=error\fR" 4
.IX Item "--size-check=error"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-size\-check=warning\fR" 4
.IX Item "--size-check=warning"
.PD
Issue an error or warning for invalid \s-1ELF\s0 .size directive.
.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "--help"
Print a summary of the command line options and exit.
.IP "\fB\-\-target\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "--target-help"
Print a summary of all target specific options and exit.
.IP "\fB\-I\fR \fIdir\fR" 4
.IX Item "-I dir"
Add directory \fIdir\fR to the search list for \f(CW\*(C`.include\*(C'\fR directives.
.IP "\fB\-J\fR" 4
.IX Item "-J"
Don't warn about signed overflow.
.IP "\fB\-K\fR" 4
.IX Item "-K"
Issue warnings when difference tables altered for long displacements.
.IP "\fB\-L\fR" 4
.IX Item "-L"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-keep\-locals\fR" 4
.IX Item "--keep-locals"
.PD
Keep (in the symbol table) local symbols. These symbols start with
system-specific local label prefixes, typically \fB.L\fR for \s-1ELF\s0 systems
or \fBL\fR for traditional a.out systems.
.IP "\fB\-\-listing\-lhs\-width=\fR\fInumber\fR" 4
.IX Item "--listing-lhs-width=number"
Set the maximum width, in words, of the output data column for an assembler
listing to \fInumber\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-listing\-lhs\-width2=\fR\fInumber\fR" 4
.IX Item "--listing-lhs-width2=number"
Set the maximum width, in words, of the output data column for continuation
lines in an assembler listing to \fInumber\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-listing\-rhs\-width=\fR\fInumber\fR" 4
.IX Item "--listing-rhs-width=number"
Set the maximum width of an input source line, as displayed in a listing, to
\&\fInumber\fR bytes.
.IP "\fB\-\-listing\-cont\-lines=\fR\fInumber\fR" 4
.IX Item "--listing-cont-lines=number"
Set the maximum number of lines printed in a listing for a single line of input
to \fInumber\fR + 1.
.IP "\fB\-o\fR \fIobjfile\fR" 4
.IX Item "-o objfile"
Name the object-file output from \fBas\fR \fIobjfile\fR.
.IP "\fB\-R\fR" 4
.IX Item "-R"
Fold the data section into the text section.
.IP "\fB\-\-hash\-size=\fR\fInumber\fR" 4
.IX Item "--hash-size=number"
Set the default size of \s-1GAS\s0's hash tables to a prime number close to
\&\fInumber\fR. Increasing this value can reduce the length of time it takes the
assembler to perform its tasks, at the expense of increasing the assembler's
memory requirements. Similarly reducing this value can reduce the memory
requirements at the expense of speed.
.IP "\fB\-\-reduce\-memory\-overheads\fR" 4
.IX Item "--reduce-memory-overheads"
This option reduces \s-1GAS\s0's memory requirements, at the expense of making the
assembly processes slower. Currently this switch is a synonym for
\&\fB\-\-hash\-size=4051\fR, but in the future it may have other effects as well.
.IP "\fB\-\-sectname\-subst\fR" 4
.IX Item "--sectname-subst"
Honor substitution sequences in section names.
.IP "\fB\-\-statistics\fR" 4
.IX Item "--statistics"
Print the maximum space (in bytes) and total time (in seconds) used by
assembly.
.IP "\fB\-\-strip\-local\-absolute\fR" 4
.IX Item "--strip-local-absolute"
Remove local absolute symbols from the outgoing symbol table.
.IP "\fB\-v\fR" 4
.IX Item "-v"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-version\fR" 4
.IX Item "-version"
.PD
Print the \fBas\fR version.
.IP "\fB\-\-version\fR" 4
.IX Item "--version"
Print the \fBas\fR version and exit.
.IP "\fB\-W\fR" 4
.IX Item "-W"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-no\-warn\fR" 4
.IX Item "--no-warn"
.PD
Suppress warning messages.
.IP "\fB\-\-fatal\-warnings\fR" 4
.IX Item "--fatal-warnings"
Treat warnings as errors.
.IP "\fB\-\-warn\fR" 4
.IX Item "--warn"
Don't suppress warning messages or treat them as errors.
.IP "\fB\-w\fR" 4
.IX Item "-w"
Ignored.
.IP "\fB\-x\fR" 4
.IX Item "-x"
Ignored.
.IP "\fB\-Z\fR" 4
.IX Item "-Z"
Generate an object file even after errors.
.IP "\fB\-\- |\fR \fIfiles\fR \fB...\fR" 4
.IX Item "-- | files ..."
Standard input, or source files to assemble.
.PP
The following options are available when as is configured for the
64\-bit mode of the \s-1ARM\s0 Architecture (AArch64).
.IP "\fB\-EB\fR" 4
.IX Item "-EB"
This option specifies that the output generated by the assembler should
be marked as being encoded for a big-endian processor.
.IP "\fB\-EL\fR" 4
.IX Item "-EL"
This option specifies that the output generated by the assembler should
be marked as being encoded for a little-endian processor.
.IP "\fB\-mabi=\fR\fIabi\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mabi=abi"
Specify which \s-1ABI\s0 the source code uses. The recognized arguments
are: \f(CW\*(C`ilp32\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`lp64\*(C'\fR, which decides the generated object
file in \s-1ELF32\s0 and \s-1ELF64\s0 format respectively. The default is \f(CW\*(C`lp64\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\fB\-mcpu=\fR\fIprocessor\fR\fB[+\fR\fIextension\fR\fB...]\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mcpu=processor[+extension...]"
This option specifies the target processor. The assembler will issue an error
message if an attempt is made to assemble an instruction which will not execute
on the target processor. The following processor names are recognized:
\&\f(CW\*(C`cortex\-a35\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`cortex\-a53\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`cortex\-a57\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`cortex\-a72\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`exynos\-m1\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`qdf24xx\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`thunderx\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`xgene1\*(C'\fR
and
\&\f(CW\*(C`xgene2\*(C'\fR.
The special name \f(CW\*(C`all\*(C'\fR may be used to allow the assembler to accept
instructions valid for any supported processor, including all optional
extensions.
.Sp
In addition to the basic instruction set, the assembler can be told to
accept, or restrict, various extension mnemonics that extend the
processor.
.Sp
If some implementations of a particular processor can have an
extension, then then those extensions are automatically enabled.
Consequently, you will not normally have to specify any additional
extensions.
.IP "\fB\-march=\fR\fIarchitecture\fR\fB[+\fR\fIextension\fR\fB...]\fR" 4
.IX Item "-march=architecture[+extension...]"
This option specifies the target architecture. The assembler will
issue an error message if an attempt is made to assemble an
instruction which will not execute on the target architecture. The
following architecture names are recognized: \f(CW\*(C`armv8\-a\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`armv8.1\-a\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`armv8.2\-a\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
If both \fB\-mcpu\fR and \fB\-march\fR are specified, the
assembler will use the setting for \fB\-mcpu\fR. If neither are
specified, the assembler will default to \fB\-mcpu=all\fR.
.Sp
The architecture option can be extended with the same instruction set
extension options as the \fB\-mcpu\fR option. Unlike
\&\fB\-mcpu\fR, extensions are not always enabled by default,
.IP "\fB\-mverbose\-error\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mverbose-error"
This option enables verbose error messages for AArch64 gas. This option
is enabled by default.
.IP "\fB\-mno\-verbose\-error\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mno-verbose-error"
This option disables verbose error messages in AArch64 gas.
.PP
The following options are available when as is configured for an Alpha
processor.
.IP "\fB\-m\fR\fIcpu\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mcpu"
This option specifies the target processor. If an attempt is made to
assemble an instruction which will not execute on the target processor,
the assembler may either expand the instruction as a macro or issue an
error message. This option is equivalent to the \f(CW\*(C`.arch\*(C'\fR directive.
.Sp
The following processor names are recognized:
\&\f(CW21064\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`21064a\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW21066\fR,
\&\f(CW21068\fR,
\&\f(CW21164\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`21164a\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`21164pc\*(C'\fR,

\&\f(CW\*(C`ev5\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`ev56\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`pca56\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`ev6\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`ev67\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`ev68\*(C'\fR.
The special name \f(CW\*(C`all\*(C'\fR may be used to allow the assembler to accept
instructions valid for any Alpha processor.
.Sp
In order to support existing practice in \s-1OSF/1\s0 with respect to \f(CW\*(C`.arch\*(C'\fR,
and existing practice within \fB\s-1MILO\s0\fR (the Linux \s-1ARC\s0 bootloader), the
numbered processor names (e.g. 21064) enable the processor-specific PALcode
instructions, while the \*(L"electro-vlasic\*(R" names (e.g. \f(CW\*(C`ev4\*(C'\fR) do not.
.IP "\fB\-mdebug\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mdebug"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-no\-mdebug\fR" 4
.IX Item "-no-mdebug"
.PD
Enables or disables the generation of \f(CW\*(C`.mdebug\*(C'\fR encapsulation for
stabs directives and procedure descriptors. The default is to automatically
enable \f(CW\*(C`.mdebug\*(C'\fR when the first stabs directive is seen.
.IP "\fB\-relax\fR" 4
.IX Item "-relax"
This option forces all relocations to be put into the object file, instead
of saving space and resolving some relocations at assembly time. Note that
this option does not propagate all symbol arithmetic into the object file,
because not all symbol arithmetic can be represented. However, the option
can still be useful in specific applications.
.IP "\fB\-replace\fR" 4
.IX Item "-replace"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-noreplace\fR" 4
.IX Item "-noreplace"
.PD
Enables or disables the optimization of procedure calls, both at assemblage
and at link time. These options are only available for \s-1VMS\s0 targets and
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-replace\*(C'\fR is the default. See section 1.4.1 of the OpenVMS Linker
Utility Manual.
.IP "\fB\-g\fR" 4
.IX Item "-g"
This option is used when the compiler generates debug information. When
\&\fBgcc\fR is using \fBmips-tfile\fR to generate debug
information for \s-1ECOFF\s0, local labels must be passed through to the object
file. Otherwise this option has no effect.
.IP "\fB\-G\fR\fIsize\fR" 4
.IX Item "-Gsize"
A local common symbol larger than \fIsize\fR is placed in \f(CW\*(C`.bss\*(C'\fR,
while smaller symbols are placed in \f(CW\*(C`.sbss\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\fB\-F\fR" 4

The following options are available when as is configured for
the Blackfin processor family.
.IP "\fB\-mcpu=\fR\fIprocessor\fR[\fB\-\fR\fIsirevision\fR]" 4
.IX Item "-mcpu=processor[-sirevision]"
This option specifies the target processor. The optional \fIsirevision\fR
is not used in assembler. It's here such that \s-1GCC\s0 can easily pass down its
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-mcpu=\*(C'\fR option. The assembler will issue an
error message if an attempt is made to assemble an instruction which
will not execute on the target processor. The following processor names are
recognized:

an i386 processor.
.IP "\fB\-\-32 | \-\-x32 | \-\-64\fR" 4
.IX Item "--32 | --x32 | --64"
Select the word size, either 32 bits or 64 bits. \fB\-\-32\fR
implies Intel i386 architecture, while \fB\-\-x32\fR and \fB\-\-64\fR
imply \s-1AMD\s0 x86\-64 architecture with 32\-bit or 64\-bit word-size
respectively.
.Sp
These options are only available with the \s-1ELF\s0 object file format, and
require that the necessary \s-1BFD\s0 support has been included (on a 32\-bit
platform you have to add \-\-enable\-64\-bit\-bfd to configure enable 64\-bit
usage and use x86\-64 as target platform).

By default, x86 \s-1GAS\s0 replaces multiple nop instructions used for
alignment within code sections with multi-byte nop instructions such
as leal 0(%esi,1),%esi. This switch disables the optimization.
.IP "\fB\-\-divide\fR" 4
.IX Item "--divide"
On SVR4\-derived platforms, the character \fB/\fR is treated as a comment
character, which means that it cannot be used in expressions. The

not disable \fB/\fR at the beginning of a line starting a comment, or
affect using \fB#\fR for starting a comment.

.IP "\fB\-\-text\-section\-literals | \-\-no\-text\-section\-literals\fR" 4
.IX Item "--text-section-literals | --no-text-section-literals"
Control the treatment of literal pools. The default is
\&\fB\-\-no\-text\-section\-literals\fR, which places literals in
separate sections in the output file. This allows the literal pool to be
placed in a data \s-1RAM/ROM\s0. With \fB\-\-text\-section\-literals\fR, the
literals are interspersed in the text section in order to keep them as
close as possible to their references. This may be necessary for large
assembly files, where the literals would otherwise be out of range of the
\&\f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions in the text section. Literals are grouped into
pools following \f(CW\*(C`.literal_position\*(C'\fR directives or preceding
\&\f(CW\*(C`ENTRY\*(C'\fR instructions. These options only affect literals referenced
via PC-relative \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions; literals for absolute mode
\&\f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions are handled separately.
.IP "\fB\-\-auto\-litpools | \-\-no\-auto\-litpools\fR" 4
.IX Item "--auto-litpools | --no-auto-litpools"
Control the treatment of literal pools. The default is
\&\fB\-\-no\-auto\-litpools\fR, which in the absence of
\&\fB\-\-text\-section\-literals\fR places literals in separate sections
in the output file. This allows the literal pool to be placed in a data
\&\s-1RAM/ROM\s0. With \fB\-\-auto\-litpools\fR, the literals are interspersed
in the text section in order to keep them as close as possible to their
references, explicit \f(CW\*(C`.literal_position\*(C'\fR directives are not
required. This may be necessary for very large functions, where single
literal pool at the beginning of the function may not be reachable by
\&\f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions at the end. These options only affect
literals referenced via PC-relative \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions; literals
for absolute mode \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions are handled separately.
When used together with \fB\-\-text\-section\-literals\fR,
\&\fB\-\-auto\-litpools\fR takes precedence.
.IP "\fB\-\-absolute\-literals | \-\-no\-absolute\-literals\fR" 4
.IX Item "--absolute-literals | --no-absolute-literals"
Indicate to the assembler whether \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions use absolute
or PC-relative addressing. If the processor includes the absolute
addressing option, the default is to use absolute \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR
relocations. Otherwise, only the PC-relative \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR relocations
can be used.
.IP "\fB\-\-target\-align | \-\-no\-target\-align\fR" 4
.IX Item "--target-align | --no-target-align"
Enable or disable automatic alignment to reduce branch penalties at some
expense in code size. This optimization is enabled by default. Note
that the assembler will always align instructions like \f(CW\*(C`LOOP\*(C'\fR that
have fixed alignment requirements.
.IP "\fB\-\-longcalls | \-\-no\-longcalls\fR" 4
.IX Item "--longcalls | --no-longcalls"
Enable or disable transformation of call instructions to allow calls
across a greater range of addresses. This option should be used when call
targets can potentially be out of range. It may degrade both code size
and performance, but the linker can generally optimize away the
unnecessary overhead when a call ends up within range. The default is
\&\fB\-\-no\-longcalls\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-transform | \-\-no\-transform\fR" 4
.IX Item "--transform | --no-transform"
Enable or disable all assembler transformations of Xtensa instructions,
including both relaxation and optimization. The default is
\&\fB\-\-transform\fR; \fB\-\-no\-transform\fR should only be used in the
rare cases when the instructions must be exactly as specified in the
assembly source. Using \fB\-\-no\-transform\fR causes out of range
instruction operands to be errors.
.IP "\fB\-\-rename\-section\fR \fIoldname\fR\fB=\fR\fInewname\fR" 4
.IX Item "--rename-section oldname=newname"
Rename the \fIoldname\fR section to \fInewname\fR. This option can be used
multiple times to rename multiple sections.
.IP "\fB\-\-trampolines | \-\-no\-trampolines\fR" 4
.IX Item "--trampolines | --no-trampolines"
Enable or disable transformation of jump instructions to allow jumps
across a greater range of addresses. This option should be used when jump targets can
potentially be out of range. In the absence of such jumps this option
does not affect code size or performance. The default is
