<h4 class="subsection">7.8.1 <code>.bundle_align_mode <var>abs-expr</var></code></h4>
|

|

<a name="index-bundle_005falign_005fmode-directive"></a>
|

<a name="index-bundle"></a>

|

|
<a name="index-aligned-instruction-bundle"></a>
|
||
|
|
<p><code>.bundle_align_mode</code> enables or disables <em>aligned instruction
|
||
|
|
bundle</em> mode. In this mode, sequences of adjacent instructions are grouped
|
||
|
|
into fixed-sized <em>bundles</em>. If the argument is zero, this mode is
|
||
|
|
disabled (which is the default state). If the argument it not zero, it
|
||
|
|
gives the size of an instruction bundle as a power of two (as for the
|
||
|
|
<code>.p2align</code> directive, see <a href="P2align.html#P2align">P2align</a>).
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For some targets, it’s an ABI requirement that no instruction may span a
|
||
|
|
certain aligned boundary. A <em>bundle</em> is simply a sequence of
|
||
|
|
instructions that starts on an aligned boundary. For example, if
|
||
|
|
<var>abs-expr</var> is <code>5</code> then the bundle size is 32, so each aligned
|
||
|
|
chunk of 32 bytes is a bundle. When aligned instruction bundle mode is in
|
||
|
|
effect, no single instruction may span a boundary between bundles. If an
|
||
|
|
instruction would start too close to the end of a bundle for the length of
|
||
|
|
that particular instruction to fit within the bundle, then the space at the
|
||
|
|
end of that bundle is filled with no-op instructions so the instruction
|
||
|
|
starts in the next bundle. As a corollary, it’s an error if any single
|
||
|
|
instruction’s encoding is longer than the bundle size.

<h4 class="subsection">7.8.2 <code>.bundle_lock</code> and <code>.bundle_unlock</code></h4>
|
||
|
|
<a name="index-bundle_005flock-directive"></a>
|
||
|
|
<a name="index-bundle_005funlock-directive"></a>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>.bundle_lock</code> and directive <code>.bundle_unlock</code> directives
|
||
|
|
allow explicit control over instruction bundle padding. These directives
|
||
|
|
are only valid when <code>.bundle_align_mode</code> has been used to enable
|
||
|
|
aligned instruction bundle mode. It’s an error if they appear when
|
||
|
|
<code>.bundle_align_mode</code> has not been used at all, or when the last
|
||
|
|
directive was <code><span class="nolinebreak">.bundle_align_mode</span> 0</code><!-- /@w -->.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<a name="index-bundle_002dlocked"></a>
|
||
|
|
<p>For some targets, it’s an ABI requirement that certain instructions may
|
||
|
|
appear only as part of specified permissible sequences of multiple
|
||
|
|
instructions, all within the same bundle. A pair of <code>.bundle_lock</code>
|
||
|
|
and <code>.bundle_unlock</code> directives define a <em>bundle-locked</em>
|
||
|
|
instruction sequence. For purposes of aligned instruction bundle mode, a
|
||
|
|
sequence starting with <code>.bundle_lock</code> and ending with
|
||
|
|
<code>.bundle_unlock</code> is treated as a single instruction. That is, the
|
||
|
|
entire sequence must fit into a single bundle and may not span a bundle
|
||
|
|
boundary. If necessary, no-op instructions will be inserted before the
|
||
|
|
first instruction of the sequence so that the whole sequence starts on an
|
||
|
|
aligned bundle boundary. It’s an error if the sequence is longer than the
|
||
|
|
bundle size.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For convenience when using <code>.bundle_lock</code> and <code>.bundle_unlock</code>
|
||
|
|
inside assembler macros (see <a href="Macro.html#Macro">Macro</a>), bundle-locked sequences may be
|
||
|
|
nested. That is, a second <code>.bundle_lock</code> directive before the next
|
||
|
|
<code>.bundle_unlock</code> directive has no effect except that it must be
|
||
|
|
matched by another closing <code>.bundle_unlock</code> so that there is the
|
||
|
|
same number of <code>.bundle_lock</code> and <code>.bundle_unlock</code> directives.
