35 @cindex syntax, RL78
36
37 The RL78 has three modifiers that adjust the relocations used by the
38 linker:
39
40 @table @code
41
42 @item %lo16()
43
44 When loading a 20-bit (or wider) address into registers, this modifier
45 selects the 16 least significant bits.
46
47 @smallexample
48 movw ax,#%lo16(_sym)
49 @end smallexample
50
51 @item %hi16()
52
53 When loading a 20-bit (or wider) address into registers, this modifier
54 selects the 16 most significant bits.
55
56 @smallexample
57 movw ax,#%hi16(_sym)
58 @end smallexample
59
60 @item %hi8()
61
62 When loading a 20-bit (or wider) address into registers, this modifier
63 selects the 8 bits that would go into CS or ES (i.e. bits 23..16).
64
65 @smallexample
66 mov es, #%hi8(_sym)

75 @cindex RL78 assembler directives

77 In addition to the common directives, the RL78 adds these:
78
79 @table @code
80
81 @item .double
82 Output a constant in ``double'' format, which is a 32-bit floating
83 point value on RL78.
84
85 @item .bss
86 Select the BSS section.
87
88 @item .3byte
89 Output a constant value in a three byte format.
90
91 @item .int
92 @itemx .word
93 Output a constant value in a four byte format.

105
106 @cindex line comment character, RL78
107 @cindex RL78 line comment character
108 The presence of a @samp{;} appearing anywhere on a line indicates the
109 start of a comment that extends to the end of that line.
110
111 If a @samp{#} appears as the first character of a line then the whole
112 line is treated as a comment, but in this case the line can also be a
113 logical line number directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a preprocessor
114 control command (@pxref{Preprocessing}).
115
116 @cindex line separator, RL78
117 @cindex statement separator, RL78
118 @cindex RL78 line separator
119 The @samp{|} character can be used to separate statements on the same
120 line.
