|
When an instruction operand is outside the range allowed for that
|
|
particular instruction field, <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> can transform the code
|
|
to use a functionally-equivalent instruction or sequence of
|
|
instructions. This process is known as <dfn>relaxation</dfn>. This is
|
|
typically done for branch instructions because the distance of the
|
|
branch targets is not known until assembly-time. The Xtensa assembler
|
|
offers branch relaxation and also extends this concept to function
|
|
calls, <code>MOVI</code> instructions and other instructions with immediate
|
|
fields.
