is a legal floating point register, but @samp{%f35} is not.
+Floating point registers accessed as double can also be referred using

+floating point registers accessed as quad can be referred using the

+
+Often it is desirable to write code in an operand size agnostic
+manner. @code{@value{AS}} provides support for this via
+operand size opcode translations. Translations are supported
+for loads, stores, shifts, compare-and-swap atomics, and the
+@samp{clr} synthetic instruction.
+
+If generating 32-bit code, @code{@value{AS}} will generate the
+32-bit opcode. Whereas if 64-bit code is being generated,
+the 64-bit opcode will be emitted. For example @code{ldn}
+will be transformed into @code{ld} for 32-bit code and
+@code{ldx} for 64-bit code.
+
+Here is an example meant to demonstrate all the supported
+opcode translations:
+
+@example
+ldn [%o0], %o1
+ldna [%o0] %asi, %o2
+stn %o1, [%o0]
+stna %o2, [%o0] %asi
+slln %o3, 3, %o3
+srln %o4, 8, %o4
+sran %o5, 12, %o5
+casn [%o0], %o1, %o2
+casna [%o0] %asi, %o1, %o2
+clrn %g1
+@end example
+
+In 32-bit mode @code{@value{AS}} will emit:
+
+@example
+ld [%o0], %o1
+lda [%o0] %asi, %o2
+st %o1, [%o0]
+sta %o2, [%o0] %asi
+sll %o3, 3, %o3
+srl %o4, 8, %o4
+sra %o5, 12, %o5
+cas [%o0], %o1, %o2
+casa [%o0] %asi, %o1, %o2
+clr %g1
+@end example
+
+And in 64-bit mode @code{@value{AS}} will emit:
+
+@example
+ldx [%o0], %o1
+ldxa [%o0] %asi, %o2
+stx %o1, [%o0]
+stxa %o2, [%o0] %asi
+sllx %o3, 3, %o3
+srlx %o4, 8, %o4
+srax %o5, 12, %o5
+casx [%o0], %o1, %o2
+casxa [%o0] %asi, %o1, %o2
+clrx %g1
+@end example
+
+Finally, the @samp{.nword} translating directive is supported
+as well. It is documented in the section on Sparc machine
+directives.
