@cindex RX options

The Renesas RX port of @code{@value{AS}} has a few target specfic
command line options:

@table @code

@cindex @samp{-m32bit-doubles}
@item -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 @samp{.double} pseudo-op.
This is the default.

@cindex @samp{-m64bit-doubles}
@item -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 @samp{.double} pseudo-op.

@cindex @samp{-mbig-endian}
@item -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 @samp{.short}, @samp{.hword}, @samp{.int},
@samp{.word}, @samp{.long}, @samp{.quad} and @samp{.octa} pseudo-ops.

@cindex @samp{-mlittle-endian}
@item -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 @samp{.short}, @samp{.hword}, @samp{.int},
@samp{.word}, @samp{.long}, @samp{.quad} and @samp{.octa} pseudo-ops.
This is the default.

@cindex @samp{-muse-conventional-section-names}
@item -muse-conventional-section-names
This option controls the default names given to the code (.text),
initialised data (.data) and uninitialised data sections (.bss).

@cindex @samp{-muse-renesas-section-names}
@item -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.

@cindex @samp{-msmall-data-limit}
@item -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.

@end table

@node RX-Modifiers
@section Symbolic Operand Modifiers

@cindex RX modifiers
@cindex syntax, RX

The assembler supports several modifiers when using symbol addresses
in RX instruction operands.  The general syntax is the following:

@smallexample
%modifier(symbol)
@end smallexample

@table @code
@cindex symbol modifiers

@item %gp
@c FIXME: Add documentation here.

@end table

@node RX-Directives
@section Assembler Directives

@cindex assembler directives, RX
@cindex RX assembler directives

The RX version of @code{@value{AS}} has the following specific
assembler directives:

@table @code

@item .3byte
@cindex assembler directive .3byte, RX
@cindex RX assembler directive .3byte
Inserts a 3-byte value into the output file at the current location.

@end table

@node RX-Float
@section Floating Point

@cindex floating point, RX
@cindex RX floating point

The floating point formats generated by directives are these.

@table @code
@cindex @code{float} directive, RX

@item .float
@code{Single} precision (32-bit) floating point constants.

@cindex @code{double} directive, RX
@item .double
If the @option{-m64bit-doubles} command line option has been specified
then then @code{double} directive generates @code{double} precision
(64-bit) floating point constants, otherwise it generates
@code{single} precision (32-bit) floating point constants.  To force
the generation of 64-bit floating point constants used the @code{dc.d}
directive instead.

@end table

@node RX-Syntax
@section Syntax for the RX
@menu
* RX-Chars::                Special Characters
@end menu

@node RX-Chars
@subsection Special Characters

@cindex line comment character, RX
@cindex RX line comment character
The presence of a @samp{;} appearing anywhere on a line indicates the
start of a comment that extends to the end of that line.

If a @samp{#} appears as the first character of a line then the whole
line is treated as a comment, but in this case the line can also be a
logical line number directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a preprocessor
control command (@pxref{Preprocessing}).

@cindex line separator, RX
@cindex statement separator, RX
@cindex RX line separator
The @samp{!} character can be used to separate statements on the same
line.
