|
|
<code>as</code> attempts to deduce the minimal sufficient processor type if
|
|
none is specified; depending on the object code format, the processor type may
|
|
be recorded in the object file. If it is critical that the <code>as</code>
|
|
output match a specific architecture, specify that architecture explicitly.

instructions have branch prediction bits in the CA, CB, and CC

the following represents the code generated by the assembler when

|
|
<a name="index-branch-statistics-table_002c-i960"></a>
|
|
<p>A table of every such <code>Label</code> is also generated, so that the
|
|
external postprocessor <code>gbr960</code> (supplied by Intel) can locate all
|
|
the counters. This table is always labeled ‘<samp>__BRANCH_TABLE__</samp>’;
|
|
this is a local symbol to permit collecting statistics for many separate
|
|
object files. The table is word aligned, and begins with a two-word
|
|
header. The first word, initialized to 0, is used in maintaining linked
|
|
lists of branch tables. The second word is a count of the number of
|
|
entries in the table, which follow immediately: each is a word, pointing
|
|
to one of the labels illustrated above.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The first word of the header is used to locate multiple branch tables,
|
|
since each object file may contain one. Normally the links are
|
|
maintained with a call to an initialization routine, placed at the
|
|
beginning of each function in the file. The <small>GNU</small> C compiler
|
|
generates these calls automatically when you give it a ‘<samp>-b</samp>’ option.
|
|
For further details, see the documentation of ‘<samp>gbr960</samp>’.

<dt><code>-no-relax</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Normally, Compare-and-Branch instructions with targets that require
|
|
displacements greater than 13 bits (or that have external targets) are
|
|
replaced with the corresponding compare (or ‘<samp>chkbit</samp>’) and branch
|
|
instructions. You can use the ‘<samp>-no-relax</samp>’ option to specify that
|
|
<code>as</code> should generate errors instead, if the target displacement
|
|
is larger than 13 bits.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This option does not affect the Compare-and-Jump instructions; the code
|
|
emitted for them is <em>always</em> adjusted when necessary (depending on
|
|
displacement size), regardless of whether you use ‘<samp>-no-relax</samp>’.
