DESCRIPTION
GNU as is really a family of assemblers. If you use (or have used) the GNU assembler on one
architecture, you should find a fairly similar environment when you use it on another architecture. Each
version has much in common with the others, including object file formats, most assembler directives
(often called pseudo-ops) and assembler syntax.
as is primarily intended to assemble the output of the GNU C compiler "gcc" for use by the linker "ld".
Nevertheless, we've tried to make as assemble correctly everything that other assemblers for the same
machine would assemble. Any exceptions are documented explicitly. This doesn't mean as always uses the
same syntax as another assembler for the same architecture; for example, we know of several incompatible
versions of 680x0 assembly language syntax.
Each time you run as it assembles exactly one source program. The source program is made up of one or
more files. (The standard input is also a file.)
You give as a command line that has zero or more input file names. The input files are read (from left
file name to right). A command line argument (in any position) that has no special meaning is taken to
be an input file name.
If you give as no file names it attempts to read one input file from the as standard input, which is
normally your terminal. You may have to type ctl-D to tell as there is no more program to assemble.
Use -- if you need to explicitly name the standard input file in your command line.
If the source is empty, as produces a small, empty object file.
as may write warnings and error messages to the standard error file (usually your terminal). This should
not happen when a compiler runs as automatically. Warnings report an assumption made so that as could
keep assembling a flawed program; errors report a grave problem that stops the assembly.
If you are invoking as via the GNU C compiler, you can use the -Wa option to pass arguments through to
the assembler. The assembler arguments must be separated from each other (and the -Wa) by commas. For
example:
gcc -c -g -O -Wa,-alh,-L file.c
This passes two options to the assembler: -alh (emit a listing to standard output with high-level and
assembly source) and -L (retain local symbols in the symbol table).
Usually you do not need to use this -Wa mechanism, since many compiler command-line options are
automatically passed to the assembler by the compiler. (You can call the GNU compiler driver with the -v
option to see precisely what options it passes to each compilation pass, including the assembler.)
OPTIONS
@file
Read command-line options from file. The options read are inserted in place of the original @file
option. If file does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated literally, and
not removed.
Options in file are separated by whitespace. A whitespace character may be included in an option by
surrounding the entire option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a
backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included with a backslash. The file may
itself contain additional @file options; any such options will be processed recursively.
-a[cdghlmns]
Turn on listings, in any of a variety of ways:
-ac omit false conditionals
-ad omit debugging directives
-ag include general information, like as version and options passed
-ah include high-level source
-al include assembly
-am include macro expansions
-an omit forms processing
-as include symbols
=file
set the name of the listing file
You may combine these options; for example, use -aln for assembly listing without forms processing.
The =file option, if used, must be the last one. By itself, -a defaults to -ahls.
--alternate
Begin in alternate macro mode.
-D Ignored. This option is accepted for script compatibility with calls to other assemblers.
--debug-prefix-map old=new
When assembling files in directory old, record debugging information describing them as in new
instead.
--defsym sym=value
Define the symbol sym to be value before assembling the input file. value must be an integer
constant. As in C, a leading 0x indicates a hexadecimal value, and a leading 0 indicates an octal
value. The value of the symbol can be overridden inside a source file via the use of a ".set"
pseudo-op.
-f "fast"---skip whitespace and comment preprocessing (assume source is compiler output).
-g
--gen-debug
Generate debugging information for each assembler source line using whichever debug format is
preferred by the target. This currently means either STABS, ECOFF or DWARF2.
--gstabs
Generate stabs debugging information for each assembler line. This may help debugging assembler
code, if the debugger can handle it.
--gstabs+
Generate stabs debugging information for each assembler line, with GNU extensions that probably only
gdb can handle, and that could make other debuggers crash or refuse to read your program. This may
help debugging assembler code. Currently the only GNU extension is the location of the current
working directory at assembling time.
--gdwarf-2
Generate DWARF2 debugging information for each assembler line. This may help debugging assembler
code, if the debugger can handle it. Note---this option is only supported by some targets, not all
of them.
--help
Print a summary of the command line options and exit.
--target-help
Print a summary of all target specific options and exit.
-I dir
Add directory dir to the search list for ".include" directives.
-J Don't warn about signed overflow.
-K Issue warnings when difference tables altered for long displacements.
-L
--keep-locals
Keep (in the symbol table) local symbols. These symbols start with system-specific local label
prefixes, typically .L for ELF systems or L for traditional a.out systems.
--listing-lhs-width=number
Set the maximum width, in words, of the output data column for an assembler listing to number.
--listing-lhs-width2=number
Set the maximum width, in words, of the output data column for continuation lines in an assembler
listing to number.
--listing-rhs-width=number
Set the maximum width of an input source line, as displayed in a listing, to number bytes.
--listing-cont-lines=number
Set the maximum number of lines printed in a listing for a single line of input to number + 1.
-o objfile
Name the object-file output from as objfile.
-R Fold the data section into the text section.
Set the default size of GAS's hash tables to a prime number close to number. Increasing this value
can reduce the length of time it takes the assembler to perform its tasks, at the expense of
increasing the assembler's memory requirements. Similarly reducing this value can reduce the memory
requirements at the expense of speed.
--reduce-memory-overheads
This option reduces GAS's memory requirements, at the expense of making the assembly processes
slower. Currently this switch is a synonym for --hash-size=4051, but in the future it may have other
effects as well.
--statistics
Print the maximum space (in bytes) and total time (in seconds) used by assembly.
--strip-local-absolute
Remove local absolute symbols from the outgoing symbol table.
-v
-version
Print the as version.
--version
Print the as version and exit.
-W
--no-warn
Suppress warning messages.
--fatal-warnings
Treat warnings as errors.
--warn
Don't suppress warning messages or treat them as errors.
-w Ignored.
-x Ignored.
-Z Generate an object file even after errors.
-- | files ...

coprocessor for 68020, 68030, and cpu32. Although the basic 68000 is not compatible with the 68881,
a combination of the two can be specified, since it's possible to do emulation of the coprocessor
instructions with the main processor.

Do not turn the direct addressing mode into extended addressing mode when the instruction does not
support direct addressing mode.
--print-insn-syntax

-mfar-mode
Enable extended addressing mode. All addresses and relocations will assume extended addressing
(usually 23 bits).
-mcpu=CPU_VERSION
Sets the CPU version being compiled for.
-merrors-to-file FILENAME
Redirect error output to a file, for broken systems which don't support such behaviour in the shell.
The following options are available when as is configured for a MIPS processor.
-G num
This option sets the largest size of an object that can be referenced implicitly with the "gp"
register. It is only accepted for targets that use ECOFF format, such as a DECstation running
Ultrix. The default value is 8.
-EB Generate "big endian" format output.
-EL Generate "little endian" format output.
-mips1
-mips2
-mips3
-mips4
-mips5
-mips32
-mips32r2
-mips64
-mips64r2
Generate code for a particular MIPS Instruction Set Architecture level. -mips1 is an alias for
-march=r3000, -mips2 is an alias for -march=r6000, -mips3 is an alias for -march=r4000 and -mips4 is
an alias for -march=r8000. -mips5, -mips32, -mips32r2, -mips64, and -mips64r2 correspond to generic
MIPS V, MIPS32, MIPS32 Release 2, MIPS64, and MIPS64 Release 2 ISA processors, respectively.
-march=CPU
Generate code for a particular MIPS cpu.
-mtune=cpu
Schedule and tune for a particular MIPS cpu.
-mfix7000
-mno-fix7000
Cause nops to be inserted if the read of the destination register of an mfhi or mflo instruction
occurs in the following two instructions.
-mdebug
-no-mdebug
Cause stabs-style debugging output to go into an ECOFF-style .mdebug section instead of the standard
ELF .stabs sections.
-mpdr
-mno-pdr
Control generation of ".pdr" sections.
-mgp32
-mfp32
The register sizes are normally inferred from the ISA and ABI, but these flags force a certain group
of registers to be treated as 32 bits wide at all times. -mgp32 controls the size of general-purpose
registers and -mfp32 controls the size of floating-point registers.
-mips16
-no-mips16
Generate code for the MIPS 16 processor. This is equivalent to putting ".set mips16" at the start of
the assembly file. -no-mips16 turns off this option.
-msmartmips
-mno-smartmips
Enables the SmartMIPS extension to the MIPS32 instruction set. This is equivalent to putting ".set
smartmips" at the start of the assembly file. -mno-smartmips turns off this option.
-mips3d
-no-mips3d
Generate code for the MIPS-3D Application Specific Extension. This tells the assembler to accept
MIPS-3D instructions. -no-mips3d turns off this option.
-mdmx
-no-mdmx
Generate code for the MDMX Application Specific Extension. This tells the assembler to accept MDMX
instructions. -no-mdmx turns off this option.
-mdsp
-mno-dsp
Generate code for the DSP Release 1 Application Specific Extension. This tells the assembler to
accept DSP Release 1 instructions. -mno-dsp turns off this option.
-mdspr2
-mno-dspr2
Generate code for the DSP Release 2 Application Specific Extension. This option implies -mdsp. This
tells the assembler to accept DSP Release 2 instructions. -mno-dspr2 turns off this option.
-mmt
-mno-mt
Generate code for the MT Application Specific Extension. This tells the assembler to accept MT
instructions. -mno-mt turns off this option.
--construct-floats
--no-construct-floats
The --no-construct-floats option disables the construction of double width floating point constants
by loading the two halves of the value into the two single width floating point registers that make
up the double width register. By default --construct-floats is selected, allowing construction of
these floating point constants.
--emulation=name
This option causes as to emulate as configured for some other target, in all respects, including
output format (choosing between ELF and ECOFF only), handling of pseudo-opcodes which may generate
debugging information or store symbol table information, and default endianness. The available
configuration names are: mipsecoff, mipself, mipslecoff, mipsbecoff, mipslelf, mipsbelf. The first
two do not alter the default endianness from that of the primary target for which the assembler was
configured; the others change the default to little- or big-endian as indicated by the b or l in the
name. Using -EB or -EL will override the endianness selection in any case.
This option is currently supported only when the primary target as is configured for is a MIPS ELF or
ECOFF target. Furthermore, the primary target or others specified with --enable-targets=... at
configuration time must include support for the other format, if both are to be available. For
example, the Irix 5 configuration includes support for both.
Eventually, this option will support more configurations, with more fine-grained control over the
assembler's behavior, and will be supported for more processors.
-nocpp
as ignores this option. It is accepted for compatibility with the native tools.
--trap
--no-trap
--break
--no-break
Control how to deal with multiplication overflow and division by zero. --trap or --no-break (which
are synonyms) take a trap exception (and only work for Instruction Set Architecture level 2 and
higher); --break or --no-trap (also synonyms, and the default) take a break exception.
-n When this option is used, as will issue a warning every time it generates a nop instruction from a
macro.
The following options are available when as is configured for an MCore processor.
-jsri2bsr
-nojsri2bsr
Enable or disable the JSRI to BSR transformation. By default this is enabled. The command line
option -nojsri2bsr can be used to disable it.
-sifilter
-nosifilter
Enable or disable the silicon filter behaviour. By default this is disabled. The default can be
overridden by the -sifilter command line option.
-relax
Alter jump instructions for long displacements.
-mcpu=[210|340]
Select the cpu type on the target hardware. This controls which instructions can be assembled.
-EB Assemble for a big endian target.
-EL Assemble for a little endian target.
See the info pages for documentation of the MMIX-specific options.
The following options are available when as is configured for the s390 processor family.
-m31
-m64
Select the word size, either 31/32 bits or 64 bits.
-mesa
-mzarch
Select the architecture mode, either the Enterprise System Architecture (esa) or the z/Architecture
mode (zarch).
-march=processor
Specify which s390 processor variant is the target, g6, g6, z900, z990, z9-109, z9-ec, or z10.
-mregnames
-mno-regnames
Allow or disallow symbolic names for registers.
-mwarn-areg-zero
Warn whenever the operand for a base or index register has been specified but evaluates to zero.
The following options are available when as is configured for an Xtensa processor.
--text-section-literals | --no-text-section-literals
With --text-section-literals, literal pools are interspersed in the text section. The default is
--no-text-section-literals, which places literals in a separate section in the output file. These
options only affect literals referenced via PC-relative "L32R" instructions; literals for absolute
mode "L32R" instructions are handled separately.
--absolute-literals | --no-absolute-literals
Indicate to the assembler whether "L32R" instructions use absolute or PC-relative addressing. The
default is to assume absolute addressing if the Xtensa processor includes the absolute "L32R"
addressing option. Otherwise, only the PC-relative "L32R" mode can be used.
--target-align | --no-target-align
Enable or disable automatic alignment to reduce branch penalties at the expense of some code density.
The default is --target-align.
--longcalls | --no-longcalls
Enable or disable transformation of call instructions to allow calls across a greater range of
addresses. The default is --no-longcalls.
--transform | --no-transform
Enable or disable all assembler transformations of Xtensa instructions. The default is --transform;
--no-transform should be used only in the rare cases when the instructions must be exactly as
specified in the assembly source.
