9.34.1 RX Options

The Renesas RX port of as has a few target specfic command line options:

-m32bit-doubles

This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 32-bit float ABI. It has no effect on the assembled instructions, but it does influence the behaviour of the `.double' pseudo-op. This is the default.

-m64bit-doubles

This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 64-bit float ABI. It has no effect on the assembled instructions, but it does influence the behaviour of the `.double' pseudo-op.

-mbig-endian

This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a big-endian data ABI. It has no effect on the assembled instructions, but it does influence the behaviour of the `.short', `.hword', `.int', `.word', `.long', `.quad' and `.octa' pseudo-ops.

-mlittle-endian

This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a little-endian data ABI. It has no effect on the assembled instructions, but it does influence the behaviour of the `.short', `.hword', `.int', `.word', `.long', `.quad' and `.octa' pseudo-ops. This is the default.

-muse-conventional-section-names

This option controls the default names given to the code (.text), initialised data (.data) and uninitialised data sections (.bss).

-muse-renesas-section-names

This option controls the default names given to the code (.P), initialised data (.D_1) and uninitialised data sections (.B_1). This is the default.

-msmall-data-limit

This option tells the assembler that the small data limit feature of the RX port of GCC is being used. This results in the assembler generating an undefined reference to a symbol called __gp for use by the relocations that are needed to support the small data limit feature. This option is not enabled by default as it would otherwise pollute the symbol table.

-mpid

This option tells the assembler that the position independent data of the RX port of GCC is being used. This results in the assembler generating an undefined reference to a symbol called __pid_base, and also setting the RX_PID flag bit in the e_flags field of the ELF header of the object file.

-mint-register=num

This option tells the assembler how many registers have been reserved for use by interrupt handlers. This is needed in order to compute the correct values for the %gpreg and %pidreg meta registers.
