The special name <code>all</code> may be used to allow the
assembler to accept instructions valid for any ARM processor.
<p>In addition to the basic instruction set, the assembler can be told to
accept various extension mnemonics that extend the processor using the
co-processor instruction space. For example, <code>-mcpu=arm920+maverick</code>
is equivalent to specifying <code>-mcpu=ep9312</code>.
<p>Multiple extensions may be specified, separated by a <code>+</code>. The
extensions should be specified in ascending alphabetical order.
<p>Some extensions may be restricted to particular architectures; this is
documented in the list of extensions below.
<p>Extension mnemonics may also be removed from those the assembler accepts.
This is done be prepending <code>no</code> to the option that adds the extension.
Extensions that are removed should be listed after all extensions which have
been added, again in ascending alphabetical order. For example,
<code>-mcpu=ep9312+nomaverick</code> is equivalent to specifying <code>-mcpu=arm920</code>.
<p>The following extensions are currently supported:
<code>crc</code>
<code>crypto</code> (Cryptography Extensions for v8-A architecture, implies <code>fp+simd</code>),
<code>dotprod</code> (Dot Product Extensions for v8.2-A architecture, implies <code>fp+simd</code>),

If both <code>-mcpu</code> and

the setting for <code>-mcpu</code>.
<p>The architecture option can be extended with a set extension options. These
extensions are context sensitive, i.e. the same extension may mean different
things when used with different architectures. When used together with a
<code>-mfpu</code> option, the union of both feature enablement is taken.

<p>In addition to determining which instructions are assembled, this option
also affects the way in which the <code>.double</code> assembler directive behaves
when assembling little-endian code.
<p>The default is dependent on the processor selected. For Architecture 5 or
later, the default is to assemble for VFP instructions; for earlier
architectures the default is to assemble for FPA instructions.

when assembling floating point numbers emitted by the <code>.float16</code>
directive.
The following format options are recognized:
<code>ieee</code>,

If <code>ieee</code> is specified then the IEEE 754-2008 half-precision floating
point format is used, if <code>alternative</code> is specified then the Arm
alternative half-precision format is used. If this option is set on the
command line then the format is fixed and cannot be changed with
the <code>float16_format</code> directive. If this value is not set then
the IEEE 754-2008 format is used until the format is explicitly set with
the <code>float16_format</code> directive.

conditional instructions are not enclosed in IT blocks.
There are four possible behaviors.
If <code>never</code> is specified, such constructs cause a warning in ARM
code and an error in Thumb-2 code.
If <code>always</code> is specified, such constructs are accepted in both
ARM and Thumb-2 code, where the IT instruction is added implicitly.
If <code>arm</code> is specified, such constructs are accepted in ARM code
and cause an error in Thumb-2 code.
If <code>thumb</code> is specified, such constructs cause a warning in ARM
code and are accepted in Thumb-2 code. If you omit this option, the
behavior is equivalent to <code>-mimplicit-it=arm</code>.

<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002dmapcs_002dreentrant_007d-command_002dline-option_002c-ARM-738"></a><br><dt><code>-mapcs-reentrant</code><dd>This indicates that the reentrant variant of the APCS should be used.
This variant supports position independent code.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002dmfloat_002dabi_003d_007d-command_002dline-option_002c-ARM-739"></a><br><dt><code>-mfloat-abi=</code><var>abi</var><dd>This option specifies that the output generated by the assembler should be
marked as using specified floating point ABI.
The following values are recognized:
<code>soft</code>,
<code>softfp</code>
and
<code>hard</code>.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002deabi_003d_007d-command_002dline-option_002c-ARM-740"></a><br><dt><code>-meabi=</code><var>ver</var><dd>This option specifies which EABI version the produced object files should
conform to.
The following values are recognized:
<code>gnu</code>,
<code>4</code>
and
<code>5</code>.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002dEB_007d-command_002dline-option_002c-ARM-741"></a><br><dt><code>-EB</code><dd>This option specifies that the output generated by the assembler should
be marked as being encoded for a big-endian processor.
<p>Note: If a program is being built for a system with big-endian data
and little-endian instructions then it should be assembled with the
<samp><span class="option">-EB</span></samp> option, (all of it, code and data) and then linked with
the <samp><span class="option">--be8</span></samp> option. This will reverse the endianness of the
instructions back to little-endian, but leave the data as big-endian.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002dEL_007d-command_002dline-option_002c-ARM-742"></a><br><dt><code>-EL</code><dd>This option specifies that the output generated by the assembler should
be marked as being encoded for a little-endian processor.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002dk_007d-command_002dline-option_002c-ARM-743"></a><a name="index-PIC-code-generation-for-ARM-744"></a><br><dt><code>-k</code><dd>This option specifies that the output of the assembler should be marked
as position-independent code (PIC).
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002d_002dfix_002dv4bx_007d-command_002dline-option_002c-ARM-745"></a><br><dt><code>--fix-v4bx</code><dd>Allow <code>BX</code> instructions in ARMv4 code. This is intended for use with
the linker option of the same name.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002dmwarn_002ddeprecated_007d-command_002dline-option_002c-ARM-746"></a><br><dt><code>-mwarn-deprecated</code><dt><code>-mno-warn-deprecated</code><dd>Enable or disable warnings about using deprecated options or
features. The default is to warn.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002dmccs_007d-command_002dline-option_002c-ARM-747"></a><br><dt><code>-mccs</code><dd>Turns on CodeComposer Studio assembly syntax compatibility mode.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002dmwarn_002dsyms_007d-command_002dline-option_002c-ARM-748"></a><br><dt><code>-mwarn-syms</code><dt><code>-mno-warn-syms</code><dd>Enable or disable warnings about symbols that match the names of ARM
instructions. The default is to warn.
