30 | The PowerPC chip family includes several successive levels, using the same | |
31 | core instruction set, but including a few additional instructions at | |
32 | each level. There are exceptions to this however. For details on what | |
33 | instructions each variant supports, please see the chip's architecture | |
34 | reference manual. | |

173 | @cindex PowerPC directives | |
174 | A number of assembler directives are available for PowerPC. The | |
175 | following table is far from complete. | |
176 | ||
177 | @table @code | |
178 | @item .machine "string" | |
179 | This directive allows you to change the machine for which code is | |
180 | generated. @code{"string"} may be any of the -m cpu selection options | |
181 | (without the -m) enclosed in double quotes, @code{"push"}, or | |
182 | @code{"pop"}. @code{.machine "push"} saves the currently selected | |
183 | cpu, which may be restored with @code{.machine "pop"}. | |

194 | ||
195 | @cindex line comment character, PowerPC | |
196 | @cindex PowerPC line comment character | |
197 | The presence of a @samp{#} on a line indicates the start of a comment | |
198 | that extends to the end of the current line. | |
199 | ||
200 | If a @samp{#} appears as the first character of a line then the whole | |
201 | line is treated as a comment, but in this case the line could also be | |
202 | a logical line number directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a preprocessor | |
203 | control command (@pxref{Preprocessing}). | |
204 | ||
205 | If the assembler has been configured for the ppc-*-solaris* target | |
206 | then the @samp{!} character also acts as a line comment character. | |
207 | This can be disabled via the @option{-mno-solaris} command line | |
208 | option. | |
209 | ||
210 | @cindex line separator, PowerPC | |
211 | @cindex statement separator, PowerPC | |
212 | @cindex PowerPC line separator | |
213 | The @samp{;} character can be used to separate statements on the same | |
214 | line. |
