+
+ @cindex options, CRIS
+ @cindex CRIS options
+ The CRIS version of @code{@value{AS}} has these
+ machine-dependent command-line options.
+
+ @cindex @option{--emulation=criself} command line option, CRIS
+ @cindex @option{--emulation=crisaout} command line option, CRIS
+ @cindex CRIS @option{--emulation=criself} command line option
+ @cindex CRIS @option{--emulation=crisaout} command line option
+
+ The format of the generated object files can be either ELF or
+ a.out, specified by the command-line options
+ @option{--emulation=crisaout} and @option{--emulation=criself}.
+ The default is ELF (criself), unless @code{@value{AS}} has been
+ configured specifically for a.out by using the configuration
+ name @code{cris-axis-aout}.
+
+ @cindex @option{--underscore} command line option, CRIS
+ @cindex @option{--no-underscore} command line option, CRIS
+ @cindex CRIS @option{--underscore} command line option
+ @cindex CRIS @option{--no-underscore} command line option
+ There are two different link-incompatible ELF object file
+ variants for CRIS, for use in environments where symbols are
+ expected to be prefixed by a leading @samp{_} character and for
+ environments without such a symbol prefix. The variant used for
+ GNU/Linux port has no symbol prefix. Which variant to produce
+ is specified by either of the options @option{--underscore} and
+ @option{--no-underscore}. The default is @option{--underscore}.
+ Since symbols in CRIS a.out objects are expected to have a
+ @samp{_} prefix, specifying @option{--no-underscore} when
+ generating a.out objects is an error. Besides the object format
+ difference, the effect of this option is to parse register names
+ differently (@pxref{crisnous}). The @option{--no-underscore}
+ option makes a @samp{$} register prefix mandatory.
+
+ @cindex @option{--pic} command line option, CRIS
+ @cindex CRIS @option{--pic} command line option
+ @cindex Position-independent code, CRIS
+ @cindex CRIS position-independent code
+ The option @option{--pic} must be passed to @code{@value{AS}} in
+ order to recognize the symbol syntax used for ELF (SVR4 PIC)
+ position-independent-code (@pxref{crispic}). This will also
+ affect expansion of instructions. The expansion with
+ @option{--pic} will use PC-relative rather than (slightly
+ faster) absolute addresses in those expansions.
+
+ @cindex @option{-N} command line option, CRIS
+ @cindex CRIS @option{-N} command line option
+ When @option{-N} is specified, @code{@value{AS}} will emit a
+ warning when a 16-bit branch instruction is expanded into a
+ 32-bit multiple-instruction construct (@pxref{CRIS-Expand}).
+
+ @node CRIS-Expand
+ @section Instruction expansion
+
+ @cindex instruction expansion, CRIS
+ @cindex CRIS instruction expansion
+ @code{@value{AS}} will silently choose an instruction that fits
+ the operand size for @samp{[register+constant]} operands. For
+ example, the offset @code{127} in @code{move.d [r3+127],r4} fits
+ in an instruction using a signed-byte offset. Similarly,
+ @code{move.d [r2+32767],r1} will generate an instruction using a
+ 16-bit offset. For symbolic expressions and constants that do
+ not fit in 16 bits including the sign bit, a 32-bit offset is
+ generated.
+
+ For branches, @code{@value{AS}} will expand from a 16-bit branch
+ instruction into a sequence of instructions that can reach a
+ full 32-bit address. Since this does not correspond to a single
+ instruction, such expansions can optionally be warned about.

+ @subsection Special Characters
+ @cindex line comment characters, CRIS
+ @cindex CRIS line comment characters
+
+ The character @samp{#} is a line comment character. It starts a
+ comment if and only if it is placed at the beginning of a line.
+
+ A @samp{;} character starts a comment anywhere on the line,
+ causing all characters up to the end of the line to be ignored.
+
+ A @samp{@@} character is handled as a line separator equivalent
+ to a logical new-line character (except in a comment), so
+ separate instructions can be specified on a single line.
+
+ @node CRIS-Pic
+ @subsection Symbols in position-independent code
+ @cindex Symbols in position-independent code, CRIS
+ @cindex CRIS symbols in position-independent code
+ @cindex Position-independent code, symbols in, CRIS
+
+ When generating @anchor{crispic}position-independent code (SVR4
+ PIC) for use in cris-axis-linux-gnu shared libraries, symbol
+ suffixes are used to specify what kind of run-time symbol lookup
+ will be used, expressed in the object as different
+ @emph{relocation types}. Usually, all absolute symbol values
+ must be located in a table, the @emph{global offset table},
+ leaving the code position-independent; independent of values of
+ global symbols and independent of the address of the code. The
+ suffix modifies the value of the symbol, into for example an
+ index into the global offset table where the real symbol value
+ is entered, or a PC-relative value, or a value relative to the
+ start of the global offset table. All symbol suffixes start
+ with the character @samp{:} (omitted in the list below). Every
+ symbol use in code or a read-only section must therefore have a
+ PIC suffix to enable a useful shared library to be created.
+ Usually, these constructs must not be used with an additive
+ constant offset as is usually allowed, i.e.@: no 4 as in
+ @code{symbol + 4} is allowed. This restriction is checked at
+ link-time, not at assembly-time.
+
+ @table @code
+ @item GOT
+
+ Attaching this suffix to a symbol in an instruction causes the
+ symbol to be entered into the global offset table. The value is
+ a 32-bit index for that symbol into the global offset table.
+ The name of the corresponding relocation is
+ @samp{R_CRIS_32_GOT}. Example: @code{move.d
+ [$r0+extsym:GOT],$r9}
+
+ @item GOT16
+
+ Same as for @samp{GOT}, but the value is a 16-bit index into the
+ global offset table. The corresponding relocation is
+ @samp{R_CRIS_16_GOT}. Example: @code{move.d
+ [$r0+asymbol:GOT16],$r10}
+
+ @item PLT
+
+ This suffix is used for function symbols. It causes a
+ @emph{procedure linkage table}, an array of code stubs, to be
+ created at the time the shared object is created or linked
+ against, together with a global offset table entry. The value
+ is a pc-relative offset to the corresponding stub code in the
+ procedure linkage table. This arrangement causes the run-time
+ symbol resolver to be called to look up and set the value of the
+ symbol the first time the function is called (at latest;
+ depending environment variables). It is only safe to leave the
+ symbol unresolved this way if all references are function calls.
+ The name of the relocation is @samp{R_CRIS_32_PLT_PCREL}.
+ Example: @code{add.d fnname:PLT,$pc}
+
+ @item PLTG
+
+ Like PLT, but the value is relative to the beginning of the
+ global offset table. The relocation is
+ @samp{R_CRIS_32_PLT_GOTREL}. Example: @code{move.d
+ fnname:PLTG,$r3}
+
+ @item GOTPLT
+
+ Similar to @samp{PLT}, but the value of the symbol is a 32-bit
+ index into the global offset table. This is somewhat of a mix
+ between the effect of the @samp{GOT} and the @samp{PLT} suffix;
+ the difference to @samp{GOT} is that there will be a procedure
+ linkage table entry created, and that the symbol is assumed to
+ be a function entry and will be resolved by the run-time
+ resolver as with @samp{PLT}. The relocation is
+ @samp{R_CRIS_32_GOTPLT}. Example: @code{jsr
+ [$r0+fnname:GOTPLT]}
+
+ @item GOTPLT16
+
+ A variant of @samp{GOTPLT} giving a 16-bit value. Its
+ relocation name is @samp{R_CRIS_16_GOTPLT}. Example: @code{jsr
+ [$r0+fnname:GOTPLT16]}
+
+ @item GOTOFF
+
+ This suffix must only be attached to a local symbol, but may be
+ used in an expression adding an offset. The value is the
+ address of the symbol relative to the start of the global offset
+ table. The relocation name is @samp{R_CRIS_32_GOTREL}.
+ Example: @code{move.d [$r0+localsym:GOTOFF],r3}
+ @end table
+
+ @node CRIS-Regs
+ @subsection Register names
+ @cindex register names, CRIS
+ @cindex CRIS register names
+
+ A @samp{$} character may always prefix a general or special
+ register name in an instruction operand but is mandatory when
+ the option @option{--no-underscore} is specified or when the
+ @code{.syntax register_prefix} directive is in effect
+ (@pxref{crisnous}). Register names are case-insensitive.
+
+ @node CRIS-Pseudos
+ @subsection Assembler Directives
+ @cindex assembler directives, CRIS
+ @cindex pseudo-ops, CRIS
+ @cindex CRIS assembler directives
+ @cindex CRIS pseudo-ops
+
+ There are a few CRIS-specific pseudo-directives in addition to
+ the generic ones. @xref{Pseudo Ops}. Constants emitted by
+ pseudo-directives are in little-endian order for CRIS. There is
+ no support for floating-point-specific directives for CRIS.
+
+ @table @code
+ @item .dword EXPRESSIONS
+ @cindex assembler directive .dword, CRIS
+ @cindex pseudo-op .dword, CRIS
+ @cindex CRIS assembler directive .dword
+ @cindex CRIS pseudo-op .dword
+
+ The @code{.dword} directive is a synonym for @code{.int},
+ expecting zero or more EXPRESSIONS, separated by commas. For
+ each expression, a 32-bit little-endian constant is emitted.
+
+ @item .syntax ARGUMENT
+ @cindex assembler directive .syntax, CRIS
+ @cindex pseudo-op .syntax, CRIS
+ @cindex CRIS assembler directive .syntax
+ @cindex CRIS pseudo-op .syntax
+ The @code{.syntax} directive takes as ARGUMENT one of the
+ following case-sensitive choices.
+
+ @table @code
+ @item no_register_prefix
+
+ The @code{.syntax no_register_prefix} @anchor{crisnous}directive
+ makes a @samp{$} character prefix on all registers optional. It
+ overrides a previous setting, including the corresponding effect
+ of the option @option{--no-underscore}. If this directive is
+ used when ordinary symbols do not have a @samp{_} character
+ prefix, care must be taken to avoid ambiguities whether an
+ operand is a register or a symbol; using symbols with names the
+ same as general or special registers then invoke undefined
+ behavior.
+
+ @item register_prefix
+
+ This directive makes a @samp{$} character prefix on all
+ registers mandatory. It overrides a previous setting, including
+ the corresponding effect of the option @option{--underscore}.
+
+ @item leading_underscore
+
+ This is an assertion directive, emitting an error if the
+ @option{--no-underscore} option is in effect.
+
+ @item no_leading_underscore
+
+ This is the opposite of the @code{.syntax leading_underscore}
+ directive and emits an error if the option @option{--underscore}
+ is in effect.
+ @end table
+
+ @c If you compare with md_pseudo_table, you see that we don't
+ @c document ".file" and ".loc" here. This is because we're just
+ @c wrapping the corresponding ELF function and emitting an error for
+ @c a.out.
