28 The Mitsubishi M32R version of @code{@value{AS}} has a few machine
29 dependent options:
30
31 @table @code
32 @item --m32rx
33 @cindex @samp{--m32rx} option, M32RX
34 @cindex architecture options, M32RX
35 @cindex M32R architecture options
36 @code{@value{AS}} can assemble code for several different members of the
37 Mitsubishi M32R family. Normally the default is to assemble code for
38 the M32R microprocessor. This option may be used to change the default
39 to the M32RX microprocessor, which adds some more instructions to the
40 basic M32R instruction set, and some additional parameters to some of
41 the original instructions.
42
43 @item --enable-special
44 @cindex @samp{--enable-special} option, M32RX
45 @cindex architecture options, M32RX
46 @cindex M32R architecture options
47 This option is the equivalent of the @emph{--m32rx} option, except that
48 it also allows the special M32RX instructions to be assembled as well.
49
50 @item --warn-explicit-parallel-conflicts
51 @cindex @samp{--warn-explicit-parallel-conflicts} option, M32RX
52 Instructs @code{@value{AS}} to produce warning messages when
53 questionable parallel instructions are encountered. This option is
54 enabled by default, but @code{@value{GCC}} disables it when it invokes
55 @code{@value{AS}} directly. Questionable instructions are those whoes
56 behaviour would be different if they were executed sequentially. For
57 example the code fragment @samp{mv r1, r2 || mv r3, r1} produces a
58 different result from @samp{mv r1, r2 \n mv r3, r1} since the former
59 moves r1 into r3 and then r2 into r1, whereas the later moves r2 into r1
60 and r3.
61
62 @item --Wp
63 @cindex @samp{--Wp} option, M32RX
64 This is a shorter synonym for the @emph{--warn-explicit-parallel-conflicts}
65 option.
66
67 @item --no-warn-explicit-parallel-conflicts
68 @cindex @samp{--no-warn-explicit-parallel-conflicts} option, M32RX
69 Instructs @code{@value{AS}} not to produce warning messages when
70 questionable parallel instructions are encountered.
71
72 @item --Wnp
73 @cindex @samp{--Wnp} option, M32RX
74 This is a shorter synonym for the @emph{--no-warn-explicit-parallel-conflicts}
75 option.

85 There are several warning and error messages that can be produced by
86 @code{@value{AS}} which are specific to the M32R:
87
88 @table @code
89
90 @item output of 1st instruction is the same as an input to 2nd instruction - is this intentional ?
91 This message is only produced if warnings for explicit parallel
92 conflicts have been enabled. It indicates that the assembler has
93 encountered a parallel instruction in which the destination register of
94 the left hand instruction is used as an input register in the right hand
95 instruction. For example in this code fragment
96 @samp{mv r1, r2 || neg r3, r1} register r1 is the destination of the
97 move instruction and the input to the neg instruction.
98
99 @item output of 2nd instruction is the same as an input to 1st instruction - is this intentional ?
100 This message is only produced if warnings for explicit parallel
101 conflicts have been enabled. It indicates that the assembler has
102 encountered a parallel instruction in which the destination register of
103 the right hand instruction is used as an input register in the left hand
104 instruction. For example in this code fragment
105 @samp{mv r1, r2 || neg r2, r3} register r2 is the destination of the
106 neg instruction and the input to the move instruction.
107
108 @item instruction @samp{...} is for the M32RX only
109 This message is produced when the assembler encounters an instruction
110 which is only supported by the M32Rx processor, and the @samp{--m32rx}
111 command line flag has not been specified to allow assembly of such
112 instructions.
113
114 @item unknown instruction @samp{...}
115 This message is produced when the assembler encounters an instruction
116 which it doe snot recognise.
117
118 @item only the NOP instruction can be issued in parallel on the m32r
119 This message is produced when the assembler encounters a parallel
120 instruction which does not involve a NOP instruction and the
121 @samp{--m32rx} command line flag has not been specified. Only the M32Rx
122 processor is able to execute two instructions in parallel.
123
124 @item instruction @samp{...} cannot be executed in parallel.
125 This message is produced when the assembler encounters a parallel
126 instruction which is made up of one or two instructions which cannot be
127 executed in parallel.
128
129 @item Instructions share the same execution pipeline
130 This message is produced when the assembler encounters a parallel
131 instruction whoes components both use the same execution pipeline.
132
133 @item Instructions write to the same destination register.
134 This message is produced when the assembler encounters a parallel
135 instruction where both components attempt to modify the same register.
136 For example these code fragments will produce this message:
137 @samp{mv r1, r2 || neg r1, r3}
138 @samp{jl r0 || mv r14, r1}
139 @samp{st r2, @@-r1 || mv r1, r3}
140 @samp{mv r1, r2 || ld r0, @@r1+}
141 @samp{cmp r1, r2 || addx r3, r4} (Both write to the condition bit)
