<cite>H8/300 Series Programming Manual</cite>. For information specific to
the H8/300H, see <cite>H8/300H Series Programming Manual</cite> (Renesas).
<p><code>as</code> implements all the standard H8/300 opcodes. No additional
pseudo-instructions are needed on this family.
<p><a name="index-size-suffixes_002c-H8_002f300-964"></a><a name="index-H8_002f300-size-suffixes-965"></a>Four H8/300 instructions (<code>add</code>, <code>cmp</code>, <code>mov</code>,
<code>sub</code>) are defined with variants using the suffixes ‘<samp><span class="samp">.b</span></samp>’,
‘<samp><span class="samp">.w</span></samp>’, and ‘<samp><span class="samp">.l</span></samp>’ to specify the size of a memory operand.
<code>as</code> supports these suffixes, but does not require them;
since one of the operands is always a register, <code>as</code> can
deduce the correct size.
<p>For example, since <code>r0</code> refers to a 16-bit register,
<pre class="example"> mov r0,@foo
<br>is equivalent to<br>
mov.w r0,@foo
</pre>
<p>If you use the size suffixes, <code>as</code> issues a warning when
the suffix and the register size do not match.
