<h2 class="chapter">9 Machine Dependent Features</h2>
<p><a name="index-machine-dependencies-537"></a>The machine instruction sets are (almost by definition) different on
each machine where <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> runs. Floating point representations
vary as well, and <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> often supports a few additional
directives or command-line options for compatibility with other
assemblers on a particular platform. Finally, some versions of
<samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> support special pseudo-instructions for branch
optimization.
<p>This chapter discusses most of these differences, though it does not
include details on any machine's instruction set. For details on that
subject, see the hardware manufacturer's manual.

<!-- The following major nodes are *sections* in the GENERIC version, *chapters* -->
<!-- in single-cpu versions. This is mainly achieved by @lowersections. There is a -->
<!-- peculiarity: to preserve cross-references, there must be a node called -->
<!-- "Machine Dependencies". Hence the conditional nodenames in each -->
<!-- major node below. Node defaulting in makeinfo requires adjacency of -->
<!-- node and sectioning commands; hence the repetition of @chapter BLAH -->
