by prefixing the label with &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">#:abs_g2:</span></samp>&rsquo; etc.
For example to load the 48-bit absolute address of <var>foo</var> into x0:
<pre class="smallexample"> movz x0, #:abs_g2:foo // bits 32-47, overflow check
movk x0, #:abs_g1_nc:foo // bits 16-31, no overflow check
movk x0, #:abs_g0_nc:foo // bits 0-15, no overflow check
</pre>
<p><a name="index-ADRP_002c-ADD_002c-LDR_002fSTR-group-relocations_002c-AArch64-560"></a>Relocations for &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ADRP</span></samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ADD</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">LDR</span></samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">STR</span></samp>&rsquo;
instructions can be generated by prefixing the label with
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">:pg_hi21:</span></samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">#:lo12:</span></samp>&rsquo; respectively.
<p>For example to use 33-bit (+/-4GB) pc-relative addressing to
load the address of <var>foo</var> into x0:
<pre class="smallexample"> adrp x0, :pg_hi21:foo
add x0, x0, #:lo12:foo
</pre>
<p>Or to load the value of <var>foo</var> into x0:
<pre class="smallexample"> adrp x0, :pg_hi21:foo
ldr x0, [x0, #:lo12:foo]
</pre>
<p>Note that &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">:pg_hi21:</span></samp>&rsquo; is optional.
<pre class="smallexample"> adrp x0, foo
</pre>
<p>is equivalent to
<pre class="smallexample"> adrp x0, :pg_hi21:foo
</pre>
