<dt><samp><span class="option">-mconstant-gp</span></samp><dd>This option instructs the assembler to mark the resulting object file
as using the &ldquo;constant GP&rdquo; model. With this model, it is assumed
that the entire program uses a single global pointer (GP) value. Note
that this option does not in any fashion affect the machine code
emitted by the assembler. All it does is turn on the EF_IA_64_CONS_GP
flag in the ELF file header.
<br><dt><samp><span class="option">-mauto-pic</span></samp><dd>This option instructs the assembler to mark the resulting object file
as using the &ldquo;constant GP without function descriptor&rdquo; data model.
This model is like the &ldquo;constant GP&rdquo; model, except that it
additionally does away with function descriptors. What this means is
that the address of a function refers directly to the function's code
entry-point. Normally, such an address would refer to a function
descriptor, which contains both the code entry-point and the GP-value
needed by the function. Note that this option does not in any fashion
affect the machine code emitted by the assembler. All it does is
turn on the EF_IA_64_NOFUNCDESC_CONS_GP flag in the ELF file header.
<br><dt><samp><span class="option">-milp32</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="option">-milp64</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="option">-mlp64</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="option">-mp64</span></samp><dd>These options select the data model. The assembler defaults to <code>-mlp64</code>
(LP64 data model).
<br><dt><samp><span class="option">-mle</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="option">-mbe</span></samp><dd>These options select the byte order. The <code>-mle</code> option selects little-endian
byte order (default) and <code>-mbe</code> selects big-endian byte order. Note that
IA-64 machine code always uses little-endian byte order.
<br><dt><samp><span class="option">-mtune=itanium1</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="option">-mtune=itanium2</span></samp><dd>Tune for a particular IA-64 CPU, <var>itanium1</var> or <var>itanium2</var>. The
default is <var>itanium2</var>.
<br><dt><samp><span class="option">-munwind-check=warning</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="option">-munwind-check=error</span></samp><dd>These options control what the assembler will do when performing
consistency checks on unwind directives. <code>-munwind-check=warning</code>
will make the assembler issue a warning when an unwind directive check
fails. This is the default. <code>-munwind-check=error</code> will make the
assembler issue an error when an unwind directive check fails.
<br><dt><samp><span class="option">-mhint.b=ok</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="option">-mhint.b=warning</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="option">-mhint.b=error</span></samp><dd>These options control what the assembler will do when the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">hint.b</span></samp>&rsquo;
instruction is used. <code>-mhint.b=ok</code> will make the assembler accept
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">hint.b</span></samp>&rsquo;. <code>-mint.b=warning</code> will make the assembler issue a
warning when &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">hint.b</span></samp>&rsquo; is used. <code>-mhint.b=error</code> will make
the assembler treat &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">hint.b</span></samp>&rsquo; as an error, which is the default.
<br><dt><samp><span class="option">-x</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="option">-xexplicit</span></samp><dd>These options turn on dependency violation checking.
<br><dt><samp><span class="option">-xauto</span></samp><dd>This option instructs the assembler to automatically insert stop bits where necessary
to remove dependency violations. This is the default mode.
<br><dt><samp><span class="option">-xnone</span></samp><dd>This option turns off dependency violation checking.
<br><dt><samp><span class="option">-xdebug</span></samp><dd>This turns on debug output intended to help tracking down bugs in the dependency
violation checker.
<br><dt><samp><span class="option">-xdebugn</span></samp><dd>This is a shortcut for -xnone -xdebug.
<br><dt><samp><span class="option">-xdebugx</span></samp><dd>This is a shortcut for -xexplicit -xdebug.
