9.3.4 ARC Assembler Modifiers

The following additional assembler modifiers have been added for position-independent code. These modifiers are available only with the ARC 700 and above processors and generate relocation entries, which are interpreted by the linker as follows:

@pcl(symbol)

Relative distance of symbol's from the current program counter location.

@gotpc(symbol)

Relative distance of symbol's Global Offset Table entry from the current program counter location.

@gotoff(symbol)

Distance of symbol from the base of the Global Offset Table.

@plt(symbol)

Distance of symbol's Procedure Linkage Table entry from the current program counter. This is valid only with branch and link instructions and PC-relative calls.

@sda(symbol)

Relative distance of symbol from the base of the Small Data Pointer.
