<h4 class="subsection">9.4.5 Opcodes</h4>
<a name="index-ARM-opcodes"></a>
<a name="index-opcodes-for-ARM"></a>
<p><code>as</code> implements all the standard ARM opcodes. It also
implements several pseudo opcodes, including several synthetic load
instructions.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dd>
<a name="index-NOP-pseudo-op_002c-ARM"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>NOP</code></dt>
<dd><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> nop
</pre></div>
<p>This pseudo op will always evaluate to a legal ARM instruction that does
nothing. Currently it will evaluate to MOV r0, r0.
</p>
<a name="index-LDR-reg_002c_003d_003clabel_003e-pseudo-op_002c-ARM"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>LDR</code></dt>
<dd><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> ldr &lt;register&gt; , = &lt;expression&gt;
</pre></div>
<p>If expression evaluates to a numeric constant then a MOV or MVN
instruction will be used in place of the LDR instruction, if the
constant can be generated by either of these instructions. Otherwise
the constant will be placed into the nearest literal pool (if it not
already there) and a PC relative LDR instruction will be generated.
</p>
<a name="index-ADR-reg_002c_003clabel_003e-pseudo-op_002c-ARM"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>ADR</code></dt>
<dd><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> adr &lt;register&gt; &lt;label&gt;
</pre></div>
<p>This instruction will load the address of <var>label</var> into the indicated
register. The instruction will evaluate to a PC relative ADD or SUB
instruction depending upon where the label is located. If the label is
out of range, or if it is not defined in the same file (and section) as
the ADR instruction, then an error will be generated. This instruction
will not make use of the literal pool.
</p>
<a name="index-ADRL-reg_002c_003clabel_003e-pseudo-op_002c-ARM"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>ADRL</code></dt>
<dd><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> adrl &lt;register&gt; &lt;label&gt;
</pre></div>
<p>This instruction will load the address of <var>label</var> into the indicated
register. The instruction will evaluate to one or two PC relative ADD
or SUB instructions depending upon where the label is located. If a
second instruction is not needed a NOP instruction will be generated in
its place, so that this instruction is always 8 bytes long.
</p>
<p>If the label is out of range, or if it is not defined in the same file
(and section) as the ADRL instruction, then an error will be generated.
This instruction will not make use of the literal pool.
