63 The RL78 has three modifiers that adjust the relocations used by the
64 linker:
65
66 @table @code
67
68 @item %lo16()
69
70 When loading a 20-bit (or wider) address into registers, this modifier
71 selects the 16 least significant bits.
72
73 @smallexample
74 movw ax,#%lo16(_sym)
75 @end smallexample
76
77 @item %hi16()
78
79 When loading a 20-bit (or wider) address into registers, this modifier
80 selects the 16 most significant bits.
81
82 @smallexample
83 movw ax,#%hi16(_sym)
84 @end smallexample
85
86 @item %hi8()
87
88 When loading a 20-bit (or wider) address into registers, this modifier
89 selects the 8 bits that would go into CS or ES (i.e. bits 23..16).
90
91 @smallexample
92 mov es, #%hi8(_sym)

102
103 In addition to the common directives, the RL78 adds these:
104
105 @table @code
106
107 @item .double
108 Output a constant in ``double'' format, which is either a 32-bit
109 or a 64-bit floating point value, depending upon the setting of the
110 @option{-m32bit-doubles}|@option{-m64bit-doubles} command-line
111 option.
112
113 @item .bss
114 Select the BSS section.
115
116 @item .3byte
117 Output a constant value in a three byte format.
118
119 @item .int
120 @itemx .word
121 Output a constant value in a four byte format.

133
134 @cindex line comment character, RL78
135 @cindex RL78 line comment character
136 The presence of a @samp{;} appearing anywhere on a line indicates the
137 start of a comment that extends to the end of that line.
138
139 If a @samp{#} appears as the first character of a line then the whole
140 line is treated as a comment, but in this case the line can also be a
141 logical line number directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a preprocessor
142 control command (@pxref{Preprocessing}).
143
144 @cindex line separator, RL78
145 @cindex statement separator, RL78
146 @cindex RL78 line separator
147 The @samp{|} character can be used to separate statements on the same
148 line.
