<p>These ‘<samp>-m</samp>’ options are supported on the SPU:

|
|
<a name="index-merror_002dreloc"></a>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The loader for SPU does not handle dynamic relocations. By default, GCC
|
||
|
|
gives an error when it generates code that requires a dynamic
|
||
|
|
relocation. <samp>-mno-error-reloc</samp> disables the error,
|
||
|
|
<samp>-mwarn-reloc</samp> generates a warning instead.

<p>Instructions that initiate or test completion of DMA must not be
|
||
|
|
reordered with respect to loads and stores of the memory that is being
|
||
|
|
accessed.
|
||
|
|
With <samp>-munsafe-dma</samp> you must use the <code>volatile</code> keyword to protect
|
||
|
|
memory accesses, but that can lead to inefficient code in places where the
|
||
|
|
memory is known to not change. Rather than mark the memory as volatile,
|
||
|
|
you can use <samp>-msafe-dma</samp> to tell the compiler to treat
|
||
|
|
the DMA instructions as potentially affecting all memory.

|

|
|
|

|
|
<p>By default, GCC generates a branch hint instruction to avoid
|
||
|
|
pipeline stalls for always-taken or probably-taken branches. A hint
|
||
|
|
is not generated closer than 8 instructions away from its branch.
|
||
|
|
There is little reason to disable them, except for debugging purposes,
|
||
|
|
or to make an object a little bit smaller.

|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>By default, GCC generates code assuming that addresses are never larger
|
||
|
|
than 18 bits. With <samp>-mlarge-mem</samp> code is generated that assumes
|

a full 32-bit address.

<p>By default, GCC links against startup code that assumes the SPU-style

main function interface (which has an unconventional parameter list).
|

With <samp>-mstdmain</samp>, GCC links your program against startup
|
||
|

code that assumes a C99-style interface to <code>main</code>, including a
|

|
|
local copy of <code>argv</code> strings.

<p>Generate code treating the given register range as fixed registers.
|
||
|
|
A fixed register is one that the register allocator cannot use. This is
|
||
|
|
useful when compiling kernel code. A register range is specified as
|
||
|
|
two registers separated by a dash. Multiple register ranges can be
|
||
|
|
specified separated by a comma.

<p>Compile code assuming that pointers to the PPU address space accessed
|
||
|
|
via the <code>__ea</code> named address space qualifier are either 32 or 64
|
||
|
|
bits wide. The default is 32 bits. As this is an ABI-changing option,
|

all object code in an executable must be compiled with the same setting.

<p>Allow/disallow treating the <code>__ea</code> address space as superset

of the generic address space. This enables explicit type casts
|

|
between <code>__ea</code> and generic pointer as well as implicit
|
||
|
|
conversions of generic pointers to <code>__ea</code> pointers. The
|
||

default is to allow address space pointer conversions.

options for <var>cache-size</var> are ‘<samp>8</samp>’, ‘<samp>16</samp>’, ‘<samp>32</samp>’, ‘<samp>64</samp>’
|

and ‘<samp>128</samp>’. The default cache size is 64KB.

<p>This option controls the version of libgcc that the compiler links to an
|

executable and selects whether atomic updates to the software-managed
|
||
|
|
cache of PPU-side variables are used. If you use atomic updates, changes
|
||
|
|
to a PPU variable from SPU code using the <code>__ea</code> named address space
|
||
|
|
qualifier do not interfere with changes to other PPU variables residing
|
||
|
|
in the same cache line from PPU code. If you do not use atomic updates,
|
||
|
|
such interference may occur; however, writing back cache lines is
|
||
|
|
more efficient. The default behavior is to use atomic updates.

<p>By default, GCC inserts NOPs to increase dual issue when it expects

it to increase performance. <var>n</var> can be a value from 0 to 10. A

smaller <var>n</var> inserts fewer NOPs. 10 is the default, 0 is the

<p>Maximum number of NOPs to insert for a branch hint. A branch hint must
|
||
|
|
be at least 8 instructions away from the branch it is affecting. GCC
|
||
|

inserts up to <var>n</var> NOPs to enforce this, otherwise it does not

generate the branch hint.

<p>The encoding of the branch hint instruction limits the hint to be within

256 instructions of the branch it is affecting. By default, GCC makes

sure it is within 125.
