<h4 class="subsection">9.2.5 Alpha Assembler Directives</h4>

<p><code>as</code> for the Alpha supports many additional directives for
compatibility with the native assembler.  This section describes them only
briefly.
</p>
<a name="index-Alpha_002donly-directives"></a>
<p>These are the additional directives in <code>as</code> for the Alpha:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>.arch <var>cpu</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Specifies the target processor.  This is equivalent to the
<samp>-m<var>cpu</var></samp> command-line option.  See <a href="Alpha-Options.html#Alpha-Options">Options</a>,
for a list of values for <var>cpu</var>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.ent <var>function</var>[, <var>n</var>]</code></dt>
<dd><p>Mark the beginning of <var>function</var>.  An optional number may follow for
compatibility with the OSF/1 assembler, but is ignored.  When generating
<code>.mdebug</code> information, this will create a procedure descriptor for
the function.  In ELF, it will mark the symbol as a function a-la the
generic <code>.type</code> directive.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.end <var>function</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Mark the end of <var>function</var>.  In ELF, it will set the size of the symbol
a-la the generic <code>.size</code> directive.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.mask <var>mask</var>, <var>offset</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Indicate which of the integer registers are saved in the current
function&rsquo;s stack frame.  <var>mask</var> is interpreted a bit mask in which
bit <var>n</var> set indicates that register <var>n</var> is saved.  The registers
are saved in a block located <var>offset</var> bytes from the <em>canonical
frame address</em> (CFA) which is the value of the stack pointer on entry to
the function.  The registers are saved sequentially, except that the
return address register (normally <code>$26</code>) is saved first.
</p>
<p>This and the other directives that describe the stack frame are
currently only used when generating <code>.mdebug</code> information.  They
may in the future be used to generate DWARF2 <code>.debug_frame</code> unwind
information for hand written assembly.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.fmask <var>mask</var>, <var>offset</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Indicate which of the floating-point registers are saved in the current
stack frame.  The <var>mask</var> and <var>offset</var> parameters are interpreted
as with <code>.mask</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.frame <var>framereg</var>, <var>frameoffset</var>, <var>retreg</var>[, <var>argoffset</var>]</code></dt>
<dd><p>Describes the shape of the stack frame.  The frame pointer in use is
<var>framereg</var>; normally this is either <code>$fp</code> or <code>$sp</code>.  The
frame pointer is <var>frameoffset</var> bytes below the CFA.  The return
address is initially located in <var>retreg</var> until it is saved as
indicated in <code>.mask</code>.  For compatibility with OSF/1 an optional
<var>argoffset</var> parameter is accepted and ignored.  It is believed to
indicate the offset from the CFA to the saved argument registers.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.prologue <var>n</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Indicate that the stack frame is set up and all registers have been
spilled.  The argument <var>n</var> indicates whether and how the function
uses the incoming <em>procedure vector</em> (the address of the called
function) in <code>$27</code>.  0 indicates that <code>$27</code> is not used; 1
indicates that the first two instructions of the function use <code>$27</code>
to perform a load of the GP register; 2 indicates that <code>$27</code> is
used in some non-standard way and so the linker cannot elide the load of
the procedure vector during relaxation.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.usepv <var>function</var>, <var>which</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Used to indicate the use of the <code>$27</code> register, similar to
<code>.prologue</code>, but without the other semantics of needing to
be inside an open <code>.ent</code>/<code>.end</code> block.
</p>
<p>The <var>which</var> argument should be either <code>no</code>, indicating that
<code>$27</code> is not used, or <code>std</code>, indicating that the first two
instructions of the function perform a GP load.
</p>
<p>One might use this directive instead of <code>.prologue</code> if you are
also using dwarf2 CFI directives.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.gprel32 <var>expression</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Computes the difference between the address in <var>expression</var> and the
GP for the current object file, and stores it in 4 bytes.  In addition
to being smaller than a full 8 byte address, this also does not require
a dynamic relocation when used in a shared library.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.t_floating <var>expression</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Stores <var>expression</var> as an <small>IEEE</small> double precision value.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.s_floating <var>expression</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Stores <var>expression</var> as an <small>IEEE</small> single precision value.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.f_floating <var>expression</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Stores <var>expression</var> as a VAX F format value.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.g_floating <var>expression</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Stores <var>expression</var> as a VAX G format value.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.d_floating <var>expression</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Stores <var>expression</var> as a VAX D format value.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.set <var>feature</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Enables or disables various assembler features.  Using the positive
name of the feature enables while using &lsquo;<samp>no<var>feature</var></samp>&rsquo; disables.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>at</code></dt>
<dd><p>Indicates that macro expansions may clobber the <em>assembler
temporary</em> (<code>$at</code> or <code>$28</code>) register.  Some macros may not be
expanded without this and will generate an error message if <code>noat</code>
is in effect.  When <code>at</code> is in effect, a warning will be generated
if <code>$at</code> is used by the programmer.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>macro</code></dt>
<dd><p>Enables the expansion of macro instructions.  Note that variants of real
instructions, such as <code>br label</code> vs <code>br $31,label</code> are
considered alternate forms and not macros.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>move</code></dt>
<dt><code>reorder</code></dt>
<dt><code>volatile</code></dt>
<dd><p>These control whether and how the assembler may re-order instructions.
Accepted for compatibility with the OSF/1 assembler, but <code>as</code>
does not do instruction scheduling, so these features are ignored.
</p></dd>
</dl>
</dd>
</dl>

<p>The following directives are recognized for compatibility with the OSF/1
assembler but are ignored.
