| |
| <p>Block comments are delimited by ‘<samp>/*</samp>’ and ‘<samp>*/</samp>’. End of line |
| comments may be introduced by ‘<samp>#</samp>’. |
| </p> |
| <p>Instructions consist of a leading opcode or macro name followed by |
| whitespace and an optional comma-separated list of operands: |
| </p> |
| <div class="smallexample"> |
| <pre class="smallexample"><var>opcode</var> [<var>operand</var>, …] |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p>Instructions must be separated by a newline or semicolon. |
| </p> |
| <p>There are two ways to write code: either write naked instructions, |
| which the assembler is free to combine into VLIW bundles, or specify |
| the VLIW bundles explicitly. |
| </p> |
| <p>Bundles are specified using curly braces: |
| </p> |
| <div class="smallexample"> |
| <pre class="smallexample">{ <var>add</var> r3,r4,r5 ; <var>add</var> r7,r8,r9 ; <var>lw</var> r10,r11 } |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p>A bundle can span multiple lines. If you want to put multiple |
| instructions on a line, whether in a bundle or not, you need to |
| separate them with semicolons as in this example. |
| </p> |
| <p>A bundle may contain one or more instructions, up to the limit |
| specified by the ISA (currently three). If fewer instructions are |
| specified than the hardware supports in a bundle, the assembler |
| inserts <code>fnop</code> instructions automatically. |
| </p> |
| <p>The assembler will prefer to preserve the ordering of instructions |
| within the bundle, putting the first instruction in a lower-numbered |
| pipeline than the next one, etc. This fact, combined with the |
| optional use of explicit <code>fnop</code> or <code>nop</code> instructions, |
| allows precise control over which pipeline executes each instruction. |
| </p> |
| <p>If the instructions cannot be bundled in the listed order, the |
| assembler will automatically try to find a valid pipeline |
| assignment. If there is no way to bundle the instructions together, |
| the assembler reports an error. |
| </p> |
| <p>The assembler does not yet auto-bundle (automatically combine multiple |
| instructions into one bundle), but it reserves the right to do so in |
| the future. If you want to force an instruction to run by itself, put |
| it in a bundle explicitly with curly braces and use <code>nop</code> |
| instructions (not <code>fnop</code>) to fill the remaining pipeline slots in |
| that bundle. |
