<h4 class="subsection">9.28.3 Syntax</h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The assembly syntax is supposed to be upward compatible with that
|
||
|
|
described in Sections 1.3 and 1.4 of ‘<samp><span class="samp">The Art of Computer
|
||
|
|
Programming, Volume 1</span></samp>’. Draft versions of those chapters as well as other
|
||
|
|
MMIX information is located at
|
||
|
|
<a name="mmixsite"></a><a href="http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmix-news.html">http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmix-news.html</a>.
|
||
|
|
Most code examples from the mmixal package located there should work
|
||
|
|
unmodified when assembled and linked as single files, with a few
|
||
|
|
noteworthy exceptions (see <a href="MMIX_002dmmixal.html#MMIX_002dmmixal">MMIX-mmixal</a>).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Before an instruction is emitted, the current location is aligned to the
|
||
|
|
next four-byte boundary. If a label is defined at the beginning of the
|
||
|
|
line, its value will be the aligned value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In addition to the traditional hex-prefix ‘<samp><span class="samp">0x</span></samp>’, a hexadecimal number
|
||
|
|
can also be specified by the prefix character ‘<samp><span class="samp">#</span></samp>’.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>After all operands to an MMIX instruction or directive have been
|
||
|
|
specified, the rest of the line is ignored, treated as a comment.
