## DESCRIPTION

s-1GNU s0as is really a family of assemblers. If you use (or have used) the s-1GNUs0 assembler on one architecture, you should find a fairly similar environment when you use it on another architecture. Each version has much in common with the others, including object file formats, most assembler directives (often called pseudo-ops) and assembler syntax.

as is primarily intended to assemble the output of the s-1GNU Cs0 compiler f(CW*(C`gcc*(C' for use by the linker f(CW*(C`ld*(C'. Nevertheless, we've tried to make as assemble correctly everything that other assemblers for the same machine would assemble. Any exceptions are documented explicitly. This doesn't mean as always uses the same syntax as another assembler for the same architecture; for example, we know of several incompatible versions of 680x0 assembly language syntax.

Each time you run as it assembles exactly one source program. The source program is made up of one or more files. (The standard input is also a file.)

You give as a command line that has zero or more input file names. The input files are read (from left file name to right). A command line argument (in any position) that has no special meaning is taken to be an input file name.

If you give as no file names it attempts to read one input file from the as standard input, which is normally your terminal. You may have to type ctl-D to tell as there is no more program to assemble.

Use -- if you need to explicitly name the standard input file in your command line.

If the source is empty, as produces a small, empty object file.

as may write warnings and error messages to the standard error file (usually your terminal). This should not happen when a compiler runs as automatically. Warnings report an assumption made so that as could keep assembling a flawed program; errors report a grave problem that stops the assembly.

If you are invoking as via the s-1GNU Cs0 compiler, you can use the -Wa option to pass arguments through to the assembler. The assembler arguments must be separated from each other (and the -Wa) by commas. For example:

gcc -c -g -O -Wa,-alh,-L file.c

This passes two options to the assembler: -alh (emit a listing to standard output with high-level and assembly source) and -L (retain local symbols in the symbol table).

Usually you do not need to use this -Wa mechanism, since many compiler command-line options are automatically passed to the assembler by the compiler. (You can call the s-1GNUs0 compiler driver with the -v option to see precisely what options it passes to each compilation pass, including the assembler.)

## OPTIONS

\fB@\fR\fIfile\fR 4

Read command-line options from file. The options read are inserted in place of the original @file option. If file does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated literally, and not removed.

Options in file are separated by whitespace. A whitespace character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included with a backslash. The file may itself contain additional @file options; any such options will be processed recursively.

\fB-a[cdghlmns]\fR 4

Turn on listings, in any of a variety of ways:

\fB-ac\fR 4

omit false conditionals

\fB-ad\fR 4

omit debugging directives

\fB-ag\fR 4

include general information, like as version and options passed

\fB-ah\fR 4

include high-level source

\fB-al\fR 4

include assembly

\fB-am\fR 4

include macro expansions

\fB-an\fR 4

omit forms processing

\fB-as\fR 4

include symbols

\fB=file\fR 4

set the name of the listing file

You may combine these options; for example, use -aln for assembly listing without forms processing. The =file option, if used, must be the last one. By itself, -a defaults to -ahls.

\fB--alternate\fR 4

Begin in alternate macro mode.

\fB--compress-debug-sections\fR 4

Compress s-1DWARFs0 debug sections using zlib. The debug sections are renamed to begin with .zdebug, and the resulting object file may not be compatible with older linkers and object file utilities.

\fB--nocompress-debug-sections\fR 4

Do not compress s-1DWARFs0 debug sections. This is the default.

\fB-D\fR 4

Ignored. This option is accepted for script compatibility with calls to other assemblers.

\fB--debug-prefix-map\fR \fIold\fR\fB=\fR\fInew\fR 4

When assembling files in directory old, record debugging information describing them as in new instead.

\fB--defsym\fR \fIsym\fR\fB=\fR\fIvalue\fR 4

Define the symbol sym to be value before assembling the input file. value must be an integer constant. As in C, a leading 0x indicates a hexadecimal value, and a leading 0 indicates an octal value. The value of the symbol can be overridden inside a source file via the use of a f(CW*(C`.set*(C' pseudo-op.

\fB-f\fR 4

*(L"fast*(R"---skip whitespace and comment preprocessing (assume source is compiler output).

\fB-g\fR 4

\fB--gen-debug\fR 4

Generate debugging information for each assembler source line using whichever debug format is preferred by the target. This currently means either s-1STABS, ECOFFs0 or s-1DWARF2.s0

\fB--gstabs\fR 4

Generate stabs debugging information for each assembler line. This may help debugging assembler code, if the debugger can handle it.

\fB--gstabs+\fR 4

Generate stabs debugging information for each assembler line, with s-1GNUs0 extensions that probably only gdb can handle, and that could make other debuggers crash or refuse to read your program. This may help debugging assembler code. Currently the only s-1GNUs0 extension is the location of the current working directory at assembling time.

\fB--gdwarf-2\fR 4

Generate s-1DWARF2s0 debugging information for each assembler line. This may help debugging assembler code, if the debugger can handle it. Note---this option is only supported by some targets, not all of them.

\fB--gdwarf-sections\fR 4

Instead of creating a .debug_line section, create a series of .debug_line.foo sections where foo is the name of the corresponding code section. For example a code section called .text.func will have its dwarf line number information placed into a section called .debug_line.text.func. If the code section is just called .text then debug line section will still be called just .debug_line without any suffix.

\fB--size-check=error\fR 4

\fB--size-check=warning\fR 4

Issue an error or warning for invalid s-1ELF s0.size directive.

\fB--help\fR 4

Print a summary of the command line options and exit.

\fB--target-help\fR 4

Print a summary of all target specific options and exit.

\fB-I\fR \fIdir\fR 4

Add directory dir to the search list for f(CW*(C`.include*(C' directives.

\fB-J\fR 4

Don't warn about signed overflow.

\fB-K\fR 4

Issue warnings when difference tables altered for long displacements.

\fB-L\fR 4

\fB--keep-locals\fR 4

Keep (in the symbol table) local symbols. These symbols start with system-specific local label prefixes, typically .L for s-1ELFs0 systems or L for traditional a.out systems.

\fB--listing-lhs-width=\fR\fInumber\fR 4

Set the maximum width, in words, of the output data column for an assembler listing to number.

\fB--listing-lhs-width2=\fR\fInumber\fR 4

Set the maximum width, in words, of the output data column for continuation lines in an assembler listing to number.

\fB--listing-rhs-width=\fR\fInumber\fR 4

Set the maximum width of an input source line, as displayed in a listing, to number bytes.

\fB--listing-cont-lines=\fR\fInumber\fR 4

Set the maximum number of lines printed in a listing for a single line of input to number + 1.

\fB-o\fR \fIobjfile\fR 4

Name the object-file output from as objfile.

\fB-R\fR 4

Fold the data section into the text section.

Set the default size of s-1GASs0's hash tables to a prime number close to number. Increasing this value can reduce the length of time it takes the assembler to perform its tasks, at the expense of increasing the assembler's memory requirements. Similarly reducing this value can reduce the memory requirements at the expense of speed.

\fB--reduce-memory-overheads\fR 4

This option reduces s-1GASs0's memory requirements, at the expense of making the assembly processes slower. Currently this switch is a synonym for --hash-size=4051, but in the future it may have other effects as well.

\fB--statistics\fR 4

Print the maximum space (in bytes) and total time (in seconds) used by assembly.

\fB--strip-local-absolute\fR 4

Remove local absolute symbols from the outgoing symbol table.

\fB-v\fR 4

\fB-version\fR 4

Print the as version.

\fB--version\fR 4

Print the as version and exit.

\fB-W\fR 4

\fB--no-warn\fR 4

Suppress warning messages.

\fB--fatal-warnings\fR 4

Treat warnings as errors.

\fB--warn\fR 4

Don't suppress warning messages or treat them as errors.

\fB-w\fR 4

Ignored.

\fB-x\fR 4

Ignored.

\fB-Z\fR 4

Generate an object file even after errors.

\fB-- |\fR \fIfiles\fR \fB...\fR 4

Standard input, or source files to assemble.

The following options are available when as is configured for the 64-bit mode of the s-1ARMs0 Architecture (AArch64).

\fB-EB\fR 4

This option specifies that the output generated by the assembler should be marked as being encoded for a big-endian processor.

\fB-EL\fR 4

This option specifies that the output generated by the assembler should be marked as being encoded for a little-endian processor.

\fB-mabi=\fR\fIabi\fR 4

Specify which s-1ABIs0 the source code uses. The recognized arguments are: f(CW*(C`ilp32*(C' and f(CW*(C`lp64*(C', which decides the generated object file in s-1ELF32s0 and s-1ELF64s0 format respectively. The default is f(CW*(C`lp64*(C'.

\fB-mcpu=\fR\fIprocessor\fR\fB[+\fR\fIextension\fR\fB...]\fR 4

This option specifies the target processor. The assembler will issue an error message if an attempt is made to assemble an instruction which will not execute on the target processor. The following processor names are recognized: f(CW*(C`cortex-a53*(C', f(CW*(C`cortex-a57*(C', f(CW*(C`thunderx*(C', f(CW*(C`xgene1*(C', and f(CW*(C`xgene2*(C'. The special name f(CW*(C`all*(C' may be used to allow the assembler to accept instructions valid for any supported processor, including all optional extensions.

In addition to the basic instruction set, the assembler can be told to accept, or restrict, various extension mnemonics that extend the processor.

If some implementations of a particular processor can have an extension, then then those extensions are automatically enabled. Consequently, you will not normally have to specify any additional extensions.

\fB-march=\fR\fIarchitecture\fR\fB[+\fR\fIextension\fR\fB...]\fR 4

This option specifies the target architecture. The assembler will issue an error message if an attempt is made to assemble an instruction which will not execute on the target architecture. The only value for architecture is f(CW*(C`armv8-a*(C'.

If both -mcpu and -march are specified, the assembler will use the setting for -mcpu. If neither are specified, the assembler will default to -mcpu=all.

The architecture option can be extended with the same instruction set extension options as the -mcpu option. Unlike -mcpu, extensions are not always enabled by default,

\fB-mverbose-error\fR 4

This option enables verbose error messages for AArch64 gas. This option is enabled by default.

\fB-mno-verbose-error\fR 4

This option disables verbose error messages in AArch64 gas.

The following options are available when as is configured for an Alpha processor.

\fB-m\fR\fIcpu\fR 4

This option specifies the target processor. If an attempt is made to assemble an instruction which will not execute on the target processor, the assembler may either expand the instruction as a macro or issue an error message. This option is equivalent to the f(CW*(C`.arch*(C' directive.

The following processor names are recognized: f(CW21064, f(CW*(C`21064a*(C', f(CW21066, f(CW21068, f(CW21164, f(CW*(C`21164a*(C', f(CW*(C`21164pc*(C', f(CW21264, f(CW*(C`21264a*(C', f(CW*(C`21264b*(C', f(CW*(C`ev4*(C', f(CW*(C`ev5*(C', f(CW*(C`lca45*(C', f(CW*(C`ev5*(C', f(CW*(C`ev56*(C', f(CW*(C`pca56*(C', f(CW*(C`ev6*(C', f(CW*(C`ev67*(C', f(CW*(C`ev68*(C'. The special name f(CW*(C`all*(C' may be used to allow the assembler to accept instructions valid for any Alpha processor.

In order to support existing practice in s-1OSF/1s0 with respect to f(CW*(C`.arch*(C', and existing practice within s-1MILOs0 (the Linux s-1ARCs0 bootloader), the numbered processor names (e.g. 21064) enable the processor-specific PALcode instructions, while the *(L"electro-vlasic*(R" names (e.g. f(CW*(C`ev4*(C') do not.

\fB-mdebug\fR 4

\fB-no-mdebug\fR 4

Enables or disables the generation of f(CW*(C`.mdebug*(C' encapsulation for stabs directives and procedure descriptors. The default is to automatically enable f(CW*(C`.mdebug*(C' when the first stabs directive is seen.

\fB-relax\fR 4

This option forces all relocations to be put into the object file, instead of saving space and resolving some relocations at assembly time. Note that this option does not propagate all symbol arithmetic into the object file, because not all symbol arithmetic can be represented. However, the option can still be useful in specific applications.

\fB-replace\fR 4

\fB-noreplace\fR 4

Enables or disables the optimization of procedure calls, both at assemblage and at link time. These options are only available for s-1VMSs0 targets and f(CW*(C`-replace*(C' is the default. See section 1.4.1 of the OpenVMS Linker Utility Manual.

\fB-g\fR 4

This option is used when the compiler generates debug information. When gcc is using mips-tfile to generate debug information for s-1ECOFF,s0 local labels must be passed through to the object file. Otherwise this option has no effect.

\fB-G\fR\fIsize\fR 4

A local common symbol larger than size is placed in f(CW*(C`.bss*(C', while smaller symbols are placed in f(CW*(C`.sbss*(C'.

\fB-F\fR 4

\fB-32addr\fR 4

These options are ignored for backward compatibility.

The following options are available when as is configured for an s-1ARCs0 processor.

\fB-marc[5|6|7|8]\fR 4

This option selects the core processor variant.

\fB-EB | -EL\fR 4

Select either big-endian (-EB) or little-endian (-EL) output.

Specify that the code has been generated with interworking between Thumb and s-1ARMs0 code in mind.

\fB-mccs\fR 4

Turns on CodeComposer Studio assembly syntax compatibility mode.

Specify that s-1PICs0 code has been generated.

The following options are available when as is configured for the Blackfin processor family.

\fB-mcpu=\fR\fIprocessor\fR[\fB-\fR\fIsirevision\fR] 4

This option specifies the target processor. The optional sirevision is not used in assembler. It's here such that s-1GCCs0 can easily pass down its f(CW*(C`-mcpu=*(C' option. The assembler will issue an error message if an attempt is made to assemble an instruction which will not execute on the target processor. The following processor names are recognized: f(CW*(C`bf504*(C', f(CW*(C`bf506*(C', f(CW*(C`bf512*(C', f(CW*(C`bf514*(C', f(CW*(C`bf516*(C', f(CW*(C`bf518*(C', f(CW*(C`bf522*(C', f(CW*(C`bf523*(C', f(CW*(C`bf524*(C', f(CW*(C`bf525*(C', f(CW*(C`bf526*(C', f(CW*(C`bf527*(C', f(CW*(C`bf531*(C', f(CW*(C`bf532*(C', f(CW*(C`bf533*(C', f(CW*(C`bf534*(C', f(CW*(C`bf535*(C' (not implemented yet), f(CW*(C`bf536*(C', f(CW*(C`bf537*(C', f(CW*(C`bf538*(C', f(CW*(C`bf539*(C', f(CW*(C`bf542*(C', f(CW*(C`bf542m*(C', f(CW*(C`bf544*(C', f(CW*(C`bf544m*(C', f(CW*(C`bf547*(C', f(CW*(C`bf547m*(C', f(CW*(C`bf548*(C', f(CW*(C`bf548m*(C', f(CW*(C`bf549*(C', f(CW*(C`bf549m*(C', f(CW*(C`bf561*(C', and f(CW*(C`bf592*(C'.

The following options are available when as is configured for an H8/300 processor. f(CW@chapter H8/300 Dependent Features

## Options

The Renesas H8/300 version of f(CW*(C`as*(C' has one machine-dependent option:

\fB-h-tick-hex\fR 4

Support H'00 style hex constants in addition to 0x00 style.

The following options are available when as is configured for an i386 processor.

\fB--32 | --x32 | --64\fR 4

Select the word size, either 32 bits or 64 bits. --32 implies Intel i386 architecture, while --x32 and --64 imply s-1AMDs0 x86-64 architecture with 32-bit or 64-bit word-size respectively.

These options are only available with the s-1ELFs0 object file format, and require that the necessary s-1BFDs0 support has been included (on a 32-bit platform you have to add --enable-64-bit-bfd to configure enable 64-bit usage and use x86-64 as target platform).

\fB-n\fR 4

By default, x86 s-1GASs0 replaces multiple nop instructions used for alignment within code sections with multi-byte nop instructions such as leal 0(%esi,1),%esi. This switch disables the optimization.

\fB--divide\fR 4

On SVR4-derived platforms, the character / is treated as a comment character, which means that it cannot be used in expressions. The --divide option turns / into a normal character. This does not disable / at the beginning of a line starting a comment, or affect using # for starting a comment.

\fB-march=\fR\fI\s-1CPU\s0\fR\fB[+\fR\fI\s-1EXTENSION\s0\fR\fB...]\fR 4

This option specifies the target processor. The assembler will issue an error message if an attempt is made to assemble an instruction which will not execute on the target processor. The following processor names are recognized: f(CW*(C`i8086*(C', f(CW*(C`i186*(C', f(CW*(C`i286*(C', f(CW*(C`i386*(C', f(CW*(C`i486*(C', f(CW*(C`i586*(C', f(CW*(C`i686*(C', f(CW*(C`pentium*(C', f(CW*(C`pentiumpro*(C', f(CW*(C`pentiumii*(C', f(CW*(C`pentiumiii*(C', f(CW*(C`pentium4*(C', f(CW*(C`prescott*(C', f(CW*(C`nocona*(C', f(CW*(C`core*(C', f(CW*(C`core2*(C', f(CW*(C`corei7*(C', f(CW*(C`l1om*(C', f(CW*(C`k1om*(C', f(CW*(C`k6*(C', f(CW*(C`k6_2*(C', f(CW*(C`athlon*(C', f(CW*(C`opteron*(C', f(CW*(C`k8*(C', f(CW*(C`amdfam10*(C', f(CW*(C`bdver1*(C', f(CW*(C`bdver2*(C', f(CW*(C`bdver3*(C', f(CW*(C`bdver4*(C', f(CW*(C`btver1*(C', f(CW*(C`btver2*(C', f(CW*(C`generic32*(C' and f(CW*(C`generic64*(C'.

In addition to the basic instruction set, the assembler can be told to accept various extension mnemonics. For example, f(CW*(C`-march=i686+sse4+vmx*(C' extends i686 with sse4 and vmx. The following extensions are currently supported: f(CW8087, f(CW287, f(CW387, f(CW*(C`no87*(C', f(CW*(C`mmx*(C', f(CW*(C`nommx*(C', f(CW*(C`sse*(C', f(CW*(C`sse2*(C', f(CW*(C`sse3*(C', f(CW*(C`ssse3*(C', f(CW*(C`sse4.1*(C', f(CW*(C`sse4.2*(C', f(CW*(C`sse4*(C', f(CW*(C`nosse*(C', f(CW*(C`avx*(C', f(CW*(C`avx2*(C', f(CW*(C`adx*(C', f(CW*(C`rdseed*(C', f(CW*(C`prfchw*(C', f(CW*(C`smap*(C', f(CW*(C`mpx*(C', f(CW*(C`sha*(C', f(CW*(C`prefetchwt1*(C', f(CW*(C`clflushopt*(C', f(CW*(C`se1*(C', f(CW*(C`clwb*(C', f(CW*(C`pcommit*(C', f(CW*(C`avx512f*(C', f(CW*(C`avx512cd*(C', f(CW*(C`avx512er*(C', f(CW*(C`avx512pf*(C', f(CW*(C`avx512vl*(C', f(CW*(C`avx512bw*(C', f(CW*(C`avx512dq*(C', f(CW*(C`avx512ifma*(C', f(CW*(C`avx512vbmi*(C', f(CW*(C`noavx*(C', f(CW*(C`vmx*(C', f(CW*(C`vmfunc*(C', f(CW*(C`smx*(C', f(CW*(C`xsave*(C', f(CW*(C`xsaveopt*(C', f(CW*(C`xsavec*(C', f(CW*(C`xsaves*(C', f(CW*(C`aes*(C', f(CW*(C`pclmul*(C', f(CW*(C`fsgsbase*(C', f(CW*(C`rdrnd*(C', f(CW*(C`f16c*(C', f(CW*(C`bmi2*(C', f(CW*(C`fma*(C', f(CW*(C`movbe*(C', f(CW*(C`ept*(C', f(CW*(C`lzcnt*(C', f(CW*(C`hle*(C', f(CW*(C`rtm*(C', f(CW*(C`invpcid*(C', f(CW*(C`clflush*(C', f(CW*(C`lwp*(C', f(CW*(C`fma4*(C', f(CW*(C`xop*(C', f(CW*(C`cx16*(C', f(CW*(C`syscall*(C', f(CW*(C`rdtscp*(C', f(CW*(C`3dnow*(C', f(CW*(C`3dnowa*(C', f(CW*(C`sse4a*(C', f(CW*(C`sse5*(C', f(CW*(C`svme*(C', f(CW*(C`abm*(C' and f(CW*(C`padlock*(C'. Note that rather than extending a basic instruction set, the extension mnemonics starting with f(CW*(C`no*(C' revoke the respective functionality.

When the f(CW*(C`.arch*(C' directive is used with -march, the f(CW*(C`.arch*(C' directive will take precedent.

\fB-mtune=\fR\fI\s-1CPU\s0\fR 4

\fB-mbig-obj\fR 4

On x86-64 s-1PE/COFFs0 target this option forces the use of big object file format, which allows more than 32768 sections.

\fB-momit-lock-prefix=\fR\fIno\fR 4

\fB-momit-lock-prefix=\fR\fIyes\fR 4

These options control how the assembler should encode lock prefix. This option is intended as a workaround for processors, that fail on lock prefix. This option can only be safely used with single-core, single-thread computers -momit-lock-prefix=yes will omit all lock prefixes. -momit-lock-prefix=no will encode lock prefix as usual, which is the default.

\fB-mdsbt\fR 4

\fB-mno-dsbt\fR 4

The -mdsbt option causes the assembler to generate the f(CW*(C`Tag_ABI_DSBT*(C' attribute with a value of 1, indicating that the code is using s-1DSBTs0 addressing. The -mno-dsbt option, the default, causes the tag to have a value of 0, indicating that the code does not use s-1DSBTs0 addressing. The linker will emit a warning if objects of different type (s-1DSBTs0 and non-DSBT) are linked together.

\fB-mpid=no\fR 4

\fB-mpid=near\fR 4

\fB-mpid=far\fR 4

The -mpid= option causes the assembler to generate the f(CW*(C`Tag_ABI_PID*(C' attribute with a value indicating the form of data addressing used by the code. -mpid=no, the default, indicates position-dependent data addressing, -mpid=near indicates position-independent addressing with s-1GOTs0 accesses using near s-1DPs0 addressing, and -mpid=far indicates position-independent addressing with s-1GOTs0 accesses using far s-1DPs0 addressing. The linker will emit a warning if objects built with different settings of this option are linked together.

\fB-mpic\fR 4

\fB-mno-pic\fR 4

The -mpic option causes the assembler to generate the f(CW*(C`Tag_ABI_PIC*(C' attribute with a value of 1, indicating that the code is using position-independent code addressing, The f(CW*(C`-mno-pic*(C' option, the default, causes the tag to have a value of 0, indicating position-dependent code addressing. The linker will emit a warning if objects of different type (position-dependent and position-independent) are linked together.

\fB-mbig-endian\fR 4

\fB-mlittle-endian\fR 4

The following options are available when as is configured for an Xtensa processor.

\fB--text-section-literals | --no-text-section-literals\fR 4

Control the treatment of literal pools. The default is --no-text-section-literals, which places literals in separate sections in the output file. This allows the literal pool to be placed in a data s-1RAM/ROM. s0 With --text-section-literals, the literals are interspersed in the text section in order to keep them as close as possible to their references. This may be necessary for large assembly files, where the literals would otherwise be out of range of the f(CW*(C`L32R*(C' instructions in the text section. These options only affect literals referenced via PC-relative f(CW*(C`L32R*(C' instructions; literals for absolute mode f(CW*(C`L32R*(C' instructions are handled separately.

\fB--absolute-literals | --no-absolute-literals\fR 4

Indicate to the assembler whether f(CW*(C`L32R*(C' instructions use absolute or PC-relative addressing. If the processor includes the absolute addressing option, the default is to use absolute f(CW*(C`L32R*(C' relocations. Otherwise, only the PC-relative f(CW*(C`L32R*(C' relocations can be used.

\fB--target-align | --no-target-align\fR 4

Enable or disable automatic alignment to reduce branch penalties at some expense in code size. This optimization is enabled by default. Note that the assembler will always align instructions like f(CW*(C`LOOP*(C' that have fixed alignment requirements.

\fB--longcalls | --no-longcalls\fR 4

Enable or disable transformation of call instructions to allow calls across a greater range of addresses. This option should be used when call targets can potentially be out of range. It may degrade both code size and performance, but the linker can generally optimize away the unnecessary overhead when a call ends up within range. The default is --no-longcalls.

\fB--transform | --no-transform\fR 4

Enable or disable all assembler transformations of Xtensa instructions, including both relaxation and optimization. The default is --transform; --no-transform should only be used in the rare cases when the instructions must be exactly as specified in the assembly source. Using --no-transform causes out of range instruction operands to be errors.

\fB--rename-section\fR \fIoldname\fR\fB=\fR\fInewname\fR 4

Rename the oldname section to newname. This option can be used multiple times to rename multiple sections.

\fB--trampolines | --no-trampolines\fR 4

Enable or disable transformation of jump instructions to allow jumps across a greater range of addresses. This option should be used when jump targets can potentially be out of range. In the absence of such jumps this option does not affect code size or performance. The default is --trampolines.

The following options are available when as is configured for a Z80 family processor.
