<h5 class="subsubsection">9.20.2.1 Symbolic Operand Modifiers</h5>

<p><a name="index-M32C-modifiers-1343"></a><a name="index-modifiers_002c-M32C-1344"></a>
The assembler supports several modifiers when using symbol addresses
in M32C instruction operands.  The general syntax is the following:

<pre class="smallexample">     %modifier(symbol)
</pre>
     
<a name="index-symbol-modifiers-1345"></a>
<dl>
<dt><code>%dsp8</code><dt><code>%dsp16</code><dd>
These modifiers override the assembler's assumptions about how big a
symbol's address is.  Normally, when it sees an operand like
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">sym[a0]</span></samp>&rsquo; it assumes &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">sym</span></samp>&rsquo; may require the widest
displacement field (16 bits for &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-m16c</span></samp>&rsquo;, 24 bits for
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-m32c</span></samp>&rsquo;).  These modifiers tell it to assume the address will fit
in an 8 or 16 bit (respectively) unsigned displacement.  Note that, of
course, if it doesn't actually fit you will get linker errors.  Example:

     <pre class="smallexample">          mov.w %dsp8(sym)[a0],r1
          mov.b #0,%dsp8(sym)[a0]
</pre>
     <br><dt><code>%hi8</code><dd>
This modifier allows you to load bits 16 through 23 of a 24 bit
address into an 8 bit register.  This is useful with, for example, the
M16C &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">smovf</span></samp>&rsquo; instruction, which expects a 20 bit address in
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">r1h</span></samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">a0</span></samp>&rsquo;.  Example:

     <pre class="smallexample">          mov.b #%hi8(sym),r1h
          mov.w #%lo16(sym),a0
          smovf.b
</pre>
     <br><dt><code>%lo16</code><dd>
Likewise, this modifier allows you to load bits 0 through 15 of a 24
bit address into a 16 bit register.

     <br><dt><code>%hi16</code><dd>
This modifier allows you to load bits 16 through 31 of a 32 bit
address into a 16 bit register.  While the M32C family only has 24
bits of address space, it does support addresses in pairs of 16 bit
registers (like &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">a1a0</span></samp>&rsquo; for the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">lde</span></samp>&rsquo; instruction).  This
modifier is for loading the upper half in such cases.  Example:

     <pre class="smallexample">          mov.w #%hi16(sym),a1
          mov.w #%lo16(sym),a0
          ...
          lde.w [a1a0],r1
</pre>
     </dl>
