  67. <p>The Xtensa assembler supports a region-based directive syntax:
  68. </p>
  69. <div class="smallexample">
  70. <pre class="smallexample"> .begin <var>directive</var> [<var>options</var>]
  71. &hellip;
  72. .end <var>directive</var>
  73. </pre></div>
  74. <p>All the Xtensa-specific directives that apply to a region of code use
  75. this syntax.
  76. </p>
  77. <p>The directive applies to code between the <code>.begin</code> and the
  78. <code>.end</code>. The state of the option after the <code>.end</code> reverts to
  79. what it was before the <code>.begin</code>.
  80. A nested <code>.begin</code>/<code>.end</code> region can further
  81. change the state of the directive without having to be aware of its
  82. outer state. For example, consider:
  83. </p>
  84. <div class="smallexample">
  85. <pre class="smallexample"> .begin no-transform
  86. L: add a0, a1, a2
  87. </pre><pre class="smallexample"> .begin transform
  88. M: add a0, a1, a2
  89. .end transform
  90. </pre><pre class="smallexample">N: add a0, a1, a2
  91. .end no-transform
  92. </pre></div>
  93. <p>The <code>ADD</code> opcodes at <code>L</code> and <code>N</code> in the outer
  94. <code>no-transform</code> region both result in <code>ADD</code> machine instructions,
  95. but the assembler selects an <code>ADD.N</code> instruction for the
  96. <code>ADD</code> at <code>M</code> in the inner <code>transform</code> region.
  97. </p>
  98. <p>The advantage of this style is that it works well inside macros which can
  99. preserve the context of their callers.
  100. </p>
  101. <p>The following directives are available:
  102. </p><table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0">
