| <p>The SPARC chip family includes several successive versions, using the same |
| core instruction set, but including a few additional instructions at |
| each version. There are exceptions to this however. For details on what |
| instructions each variant supports, please see the chip’s architecture |
| reference manual. |
| </p> |
| <p>By default, <code>as</code> assumes the core instruction set (SPARC |
| v6), but “bumps” the architecture level as needed: it switches to |
| successively higher architectures as it encounters instructions that |
| only exist in the higher levels. |
| </p> |
| <p>If not configured for SPARC v9 (<code>sparc64-*-*</code>) GAS will not bump |
| past sparclite by default, an option must be passed to enable the |
| v9 instructions. |
| </p> |
| <p>GAS treats sparclite as being compatible with v8, unless an architecture |
| is explicitly requested. SPARC v9 is always incompatible with sparclite. |
