@section M68HC11 and M68HC12 Options

@cindex options, M68HC11
@cindex M68HC11 options
The Motorola 68HC11 and 68HC12 version of @code{@value{AS}} have a few machine
dependent options.

@table @code

@cindex @samp{-m68hc11}
@item -m68hc11
This option switches the assembler in the M68HC11 mode. In this mode,
the assembler only accepts 68HC11 operands and mnemonics. It produces
code for the 68HC11.

@cindex @samp{-m68hc12}
@item -m68hc12
This option switches the assembler in the M68HC12 mode. In this mode,
the assembler also accepts 68HC12 operands and mnemonics. It produces
code for the 68HC12. A few 68HC11 instructions are replaced by
some 68HC12 instructions as recommended by Motorola specifications.

@cindex @samp{-m68hcs12}
@item -m68hcs12
This option switches the assembler in the M68HCS12 mode.  This mode is
similar to @samp{-m68hc12} but specifies to assemble for the 68HCS12
series.  The only difference is on the assembling of the @samp{movb}
and @samp{movw} instruction when a PC-relative operand is used.

@cindex @samp{-mshort}
@item -mshort
This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 16-bit integer ABI.
It has no effect on the assembled instructions.
This is the default.

@cindex @samp{-mlong}
@item -mlong
This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 32-bit integer ABI.

@cindex @samp{-mshort-double}
@item -mshort-double
This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 32-bit float ABI.
This is the default.

@cindex @samp{-mlong-double}
@item -mlong-double
This option controls the ABI and indicates to use a 64-bit float ABI.

@cindex @samp{--strict-direct-mode}
@item --strict-direct-mode
You can use the @samp{--strict-direct-mode} option to disable
the automatic translation of direct page mode addressing into
extended mode when the instruction does not support direct mode.
For example, the @samp{clr} instruction does not support direct page
mode addressing. When it is used with the direct page mode,
@code{@value{AS}} will ignore it and generate an absolute addressing.
This option prevents @code{@value{AS}} from doing this, and the wrong
usage of the direct page mode will raise an error.

@cindex @samp{--short-branchs}
@item --short-branchs
The @samp{--short-branchs} option turns off the translation of
relative branches into absolute branches when the branch offset is
out of range. By default @code{@value{AS}} transforms the relative
branch (@samp{bsr}, @samp{bgt}, @samp{bge}, @samp{beq}, @samp{bne},
@samp{ble}, @samp{blt}, @samp{bhi}, @samp{bcc}, @samp{bls},
@samp{bcs}, @samp{bmi}, @samp{bvs}, @samp{bvs}, @samp{bra}) into
an absolute branch when the offset is out of the -128 .. 127 range.
In that case, the @samp{bsr} instruction is translated into a
@samp{jsr}, the @samp{bra} instruction is translated into a
@samp{jmp} and the conditional branchs instructions are inverted and
followed by a @samp{jmp}. This option disables these translations
and @code{@value{AS}} will generate an error if a relative branch
is out of range. This option does not affect the optimization
associated to the @samp{jbra}, @samp{jbsr} and @samp{jbXX} pseudo opcodes.

@cindex @samp{--force-long-branchs}
@item --force-long-branchs
The @samp{--force-long-branchs} option forces the translation of
relative branches into absolute branches. This option does not affect
the optimization associated to the @samp{jbra}, @samp{jbsr} and
@samp{jbXX} pseudo opcodes.

@cindex @samp{--print-insn-syntax}
@item --print-insn-syntax
You can use the @samp{--print-insn-syntax} option to obtain the
syntax description of the instruction when an error is detected.

@cindex @samp{--print-opcodes}
@item --print-opcodes
The @samp{--print-opcodes} option prints the list of all the
instructions with their syntax. The first item of each line
represents the instruction name and the rest of the line indicates
the possible operands for that instruction. The list is printed
in alphabetical order. Once the list is printed @code{@value{AS}}
exits.

@cindex @samp{--generate-example}
@item --generate-example
The @samp{--generate-example} option is similar to @samp{--print-opcodes}
but it generates an example for each instruction instead.
@end table

@node M68HC11-Syntax
@section Syntax

@cindex M68HC11 syntax
@cindex syntax, M68HC11

In the M68HC11 syntax, the instruction name comes first and it may
be followed by one or several operands (up to three). Operands are
separated by comma (@samp{,}). In the normal mode,
@code{@value{AS}} will complain if too many operands are specified for
a given instruction. In the MRI mode (turned on with @samp{-M} option),
it will treat them as comments. Example:

@smallexample
inx
lda  #23
bset 2,x #4
brclr *bot #8 foo
@end smallexample

@cindex M68HC11 addressing modes
@cindex addressing modes, M68HC11
The following addressing modes are understood for 68HC11 and 68HC12:
@table @dfn
@item Immediate
@samp{#@var{number}}

@item Address Register
@samp{@var{number},X}, @samp{@var{number},Y}

The @var{number} may be omitted in which case 0 is assumed.

@item Direct Addressing mode
@samp{*@var{symbol}}, or @samp{*@var{digits}}

@item Absolute
@samp{@var{symbol}}, or @samp{@var{digits}}
@end table

The M68HC12 has other more complex addressing modes. All of them
are supported and they are represented below:

@table @dfn
@item Constant Offset Indexed Addressing Mode
@samp{@var{number},@var{reg}}

The @var{number} may be omitted in which case 0 is assumed.
The register can be either @samp{X}, @samp{Y}, @samp{SP} or
@samp{PC}.  The assembler will use the smaller post-byte definition
according to the constant value (5-bit constant offset, 9-bit constant
offset or 16-bit constant offset).  If the constant is not known by
the assembler it will use the 16-bit constant offset post-byte and the value
will be resolved at link time.

@item Offset Indexed Indirect
@samp{[@var{number},@var{reg}]}

The register can be either @samp{X}, @samp{Y}, @samp{SP} or @samp{PC}.

@item Auto Pre-Increment/Pre-Decrement/Post-Increment/Post-Decrement
@samp{@var{number},-@var{reg}}
@samp{@var{number},+@var{reg}}
@samp{@var{number},@var{reg}-}
@samp{@var{number},@var{reg}+}

The number must be in the range @samp{-8}..@samp{+8} and must not be 0.
The register can be either @samp{X}, @samp{Y}, @samp{SP} or @samp{PC}.

@item Accumulator Offset
@samp{@var{acc},@var{reg}}

The accumulator register can be either @samp{A}, @samp{B} or @samp{D}.
The register can be either @samp{X}, @samp{Y}, @samp{SP} or @samp{PC}.

@item Accumulator D offset indexed-indirect
@samp{[D,@var{reg}]}

The register can be either @samp{X}, @samp{Y}, @samp{SP} or @samp{PC}.

@end table

For example:

@smallexample
ldab 1024,sp
ldd [10,x]
orab 3,+x
stab -2,y-
ldx a,pc
sty [d,sp]
@end smallexample


@node M68HC11-Modifiers
@section Symbolic Operand Modifiers

@cindex M68HC11 modifiers
@cindex syntax, M68HC11

The assembler supports several modifiers when using symbol addresses
in 68HC11 and 68HC12 instruction operands.  The general syntax is
the following:

@smallexample
%modifier(symbol)
@end smallexample

@table @code
@cindex symbol modifiers
@item %addr
This modifier indicates to the assembler and linker to use
the 16-bit physical address corresponding to the symbol.  This is intended
to be used on memory window systems to map a symbol in the memory bank window.
If the symbol is in a memory expansion part, the physical address
corresponds to the symbol address within the memory bank window.
If the symbol is not in a memory expansion part, this is the symbol address
(using or not using the %addr modifier has no effect in that case).

@item %page
This modifier indicates to use the memory page number corresponding
to the symbol.  If the symbol is in a memory expansion part, its page
number is computed by the linker as a number used to map the page containing
the symbol in the memory bank window.  If the symbol is not in a memory
expansion part, the page number is 0.

@item %hi
This modifier indicates to use the 8-bit high part of the physical
address of the symbol.

@item %lo
This modifier indicates to use the 8-bit low part of the physical
address of the symbol.

@end table

For example a 68HC12 call to a function @samp{foo_example} stored in memory
expansion part could be written as follows:

@smallexample
call %addr(foo_example),%page(foo_example)
@end smallexample

and this is equivalent to

@smallexample
call foo_example
@end smallexample

And for 68HC11 it could be written as follows:

@smallexample
ldab #%page(foo_example)
stab _page_switch
jsr  %addr(foo_example)
@end smallexample

@node M68HC11-Directives
@section Assembler Directives

@cindex assembler directives, M68HC11
@cindex assembler directives, M68HC12
@cindex M68HC11 assembler directives
@cindex M68HC12 assembler directives

The 68HC11 and 68HC12 version of @code{@value{AS}} have the following
specific assembler directives:

@table @code
@item .relax
@cindex assembler directive .relax, M68HC11
@cindex M68HC11 assembler directive .relax
The relax directive is used by the @samp{GNU Compiler} to emit a specific
relocation to mark a group of instructions for linker relaxation.
The sequence of instructions within the group must be known to the linker
so that relaxation can be performed.

@item .mode [mshort|mlong|mshort-double|mlong-double]
@cindex assembler directive .mode, M68HC11
@cindex M68HC11 assembler directive .mode
This directive specifies the ABI.  It overrides the @samp{-mshort},
@samp{-mlong}, @samp{-mshort-double} and @samp{-mlong-double} options.

@item .far @var{symbol}
@cindex assembler directive .far, M68HC11
@cindex M68HC11 assembler directive .far
This directive marks the symbol as a @samp{far} symbol meaning that it
uses a @samp{call/rtc} calling convention as opposed to @samp{jsr/rts}.
During a final link, the linker will identify references to the @samp{far}
symbol and will verify the proper calling convention.

@item .interrupt @var{symbol}
@cindex assembler directive .interrupt, M68HC11
@cindex M68HC11 assembler directive .interrupt
This directive marks the symbol as an interrupt entry point.
This information is then used by the debugger to correctly unwind the
frame across interrupts.

@item .xrefb @var{symbol}
@cindex assembler directive .xrefb, M68HC11
@cindex M68HC11 assembler directive .xrefb
This directive is defined for compatibility with the
@samp{Specification for Motorola 8 and 16-Bit Assembly Language Input
Standard} and is ignored.

@cindex M68HC11 branch improvement

Certain pseudo opcodes are permitted for branch instructions.
They expand to the shortest branch instruction that reach the
target. Generally these mnemonics are made by prepending @samp{j} to
the start of Motorola mnemonic. These pseudo opcodes are not affected
by the @samp{--short-branchs} or @samp{--force-long-branchs} options.

The following table summarizes the pseudo-operations.

     +--------------------------+----------------------------------+
XX: condition
NX: negative of condition XX

@end smallexample

@table @code
@item jbsr
@itemx jbra
These are the simplest jump pseudo-operations; they always map to one
particular machine instruction, depending on the displacement to the
branch target.

@item jb@var{XX}
Here, @samp{jb@var{XX}} stands for an entire family of pseudo-operations,
where @var{XX} is a conditional branch or condition-code test.  The full
list of pseudo-ops in this family is:
@smallexample
 jbcc   jbeq   jbge   jbgt   jbhi   jbvs   jbpl  jblo
 jbcs   jbne   jblt   jble   jbls   jbvc   jbmi
@end smallexample

For the cases of non-PC relative displacements and long displacements,
@code{@value{AS}} issues a longer code fragment in terms of
@var{NX}, the opposite condition to @var{XX}.  For example, for the
non-PC relative case:
@smallexample
    jb@var{XX} foo
@end smallexample
gives
@smallexample
     b@var{NX}s oof
     jmp foo
 oof:
@end smallexample
