GAS implements all the standard AArch64 opcodes. It also implements several pseudo opcodes, including several synthetic load instructions.
LDR =ldr <register> , =<expression>
The constant expression will be placed into the nearest literal pool (if it not already there) and a PC-relative LDR instruction will be generated.
