DESCRIPTION


GNU as is really a family of assemblers. If you use (or have used) the GNU assembler on
one architecture, you should find a fairly similar environment when you use it on another
architecture. Each version has much in common with the others, including object file
formats, most assembler directives (often called pseudo-ops) and assembler syntax.

as is primarily intended to assemble the output of the GNU C compiler "gcc" for use by the
linker "ld". Nevertheless, we've tried to make as assemble correctly everything that
other assemblers for the same machine would assemble. Any exceptions are documented
explicitly. This doesn't mean as always uses the same syntax as another assembler for the
same architecture; for example, we know of several incompatible versions of 680x0 assembly
language syntax.

Each time you run as it assembles exactly one source program. The source program is made
up of one or more files. (The standard input is also a file.)

You give as a command line that has zero or more input file names. The input files are
read (from left file name to right). A command line argument (in any position) that has
no special meaning is taken to be an input file name.

If you give as no file names it attempts to read one input file from the as standard
input, which is normally your terminal. You may have to type ctl-D to tell as there is no
more program to assemble.

Use -- if you need to explicitly name the standard input file in your command line.

If the source is empty, as produces a small, empty object file.

as may write warnings and error messages to the standard error file (usually your
terminal). This should not happen when a compiler runs as automatically. Warnings
report an assumption made so that as could keep assembling a flawed program; errors report
a grave problem that stops the assembly.

If you are invoking as via the GNU C compiler, you can use the -Wa option to pass
arguments through to the assembler. The assembler arguments must be separated from each
other (and the -Wa) by commas. For example:

gcc -c -g -O -Wa,-alh,-L file.c

This passes two options to the assembler: -alh (emit a listing to standard output with
high-level and assembly source) and -L (retain local symbols in the symbol table).

Usually you do not need to use this -Wa mechanism, since many compiler command-line
options are automatically passed to the assembler by the compiler. (You can call the GNU
compiler driver with the -v option to see precisely what options it passes to each
compilation pass, including the assembler.)

OPTIONS


@file
Read command-line options from file. The options read are inserted in place of the
original @file option. If file does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option
will be treated literally, and not removed.

Options in file are separated by whitespace. A whitespace character may be included
in an option by surrounding the entire option in either single or double quotes. Any
character (including a backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be
included with a backslash. The file may itself contain additional @file options; any
such options will be processed recursively.

-a[cdghlmns]
Turn on listings, in any of a variety of ways:

-ac omit false conditionals

-ad omit debugging directives

-ag include general information, like as version and options passed

-ah include high-level source

-al include assembly

-am include macro expansions

-an omit forms processing

-as include symbols

=file
set the name of the listing file

You may combine these options; for example, use -aln for assembly listing without
forms processing. The =file option, if used, must be the last one. By itself, -a
defaults to -ahls.

--alternate
Begin in alternate macro mode.

--compress-debug-sections
Compress DWARF debug sections using zlib with SHF_COMPRESSED from the ELF ABI. The
resulting object file may not be compatible with older linkers and object file
utilities. Note if compression would make a given section larger then it is not
compressed.

--compress-debug-sections=none
--compress-debug-sections=zlib
--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu
--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gabi
These options control how DWARF debug sections are compressed.
--compress-debug-sections=none is equivalent to --nocompress-debug-sections.
--compress-debug-sections=zlib and --compress-debug-sections=zlib-gabi are equivalent
to --compress-debug-sections. --compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu compresses DWARF
debug sections using zlib. The debug sections are renamed to begin with .zdebug.
Note if compression would make a given section larger then it is not compressed nor
renamed.

--nocompress-debug-sections
Do not compress DWARF debug sections. This is usually the default for all targets
except the x86/x86_64, but a configure time option can be used to override this.

-D Ignored. This option is accepted for script compatibility with calls to other
assemblers.

--debug-prefix-map old=new
When assembling files in directory old, record debugging information describing them
as in new instead.

--defsym sym=value
Define the symbol sym to be value before assembling the input file. value must be an
integer constant. As in C, a leading 0x indicates a hexadecimal value, and a leading
0 indicates an octal value. The value of the symbol can be overridden inside a source
file via the use of a ".set" pseudo-op.

-f "fast"---skip whitespace and comment preprocessing (assume source is compiler output).

-g
--gen-debug
Generate debugging information for each assembler source line using whichever debug
format is preferred by the target. This currently means either STABS, ECOFF or
DWARF2.

--gstabs
Generate stabs debugging information for each assembler line. This may help debugging
assembler code, if the debugger can handle it.

--gstabs+
Generate stabs debugging information for each assembler line, with GNU extensions that
probably only gdb can handle, and that could make other debuggers crash or refuse to
read your program. This may help debugging assembler code. Currently the only GNU
extension is the location of the current working directory at assembling time.

--gdwarf-2
Generate DWARF2 debugging information for each assembler line. This may help
debugging assembler code, if the debugger can handle it. Note---this option is only
supported by some targets, not all of them.

--gdwarf-sections
Instead of creating a .debug_line section, create a series of .debug_line.foo sections
where foo is the name of the corresponding code section. For example a code section
called .text.func will have its dwarf line number information placed into a section
called .debug_line.text.func. If the code section is just called .text then debug
line section will still be called just .debug_line without any suffix.

--size-check=error
--size-check=warning
Issue an error or warning for invalid ELF .size directive.

--help
Print a summary of the command line options and exit.

--target-help
Print a summary of all target specific options and exit.

-I dir
Add directory dir to the search list for ".include" directives.

-J Don't warn about signed overflow.

-K Issue warnings when difference tables altered for long displacements.

-L
--keep-locals
Keep (in the symbol table) local symbols. These symbols start with system-specific
local label prefixes, typically .L for ELF systems or L for traditional a.out systems.

--listing-lhs-width=number
Set the maximum width, in words, of the output data column for an assembler listing to
number.

--listing-lhs-width2=number
Set the maximum width, in words, of the output data column for continuation lines in
an assembler listing to number.

--listing-rhs-width=number
Set the maximum width of an input source line, as displayed in a listing, to number
bytes.

--listing-cont-lines=number
Set the maximum number of lines printed in a listing for a single line of input to
number + 1.

-o objfile
Name the object-file output from as objfile.

-R Fold the data section into the text section.

--hash-size=number
Set the default size of GAS's hash tables to a prime number close to number.
Increasing this value can reduce the length of time it takes the assembler to perform
its tasks, at the expense of increasing the assembler's memory requirements.
Similarly reducing this value can reduce the memory requirements at the expense of
speed.

--reduce-memory-overheads
This option reduces GAS's memory requirements, at the expense of making the assembly
processes slower. Currently this switch is a synonym for --hash-size=4051, but in the
future it may have other effects as well.

--sectname-subst
Honor substitution sequences in section names.

--statistics
Print the maximum space (in bytes) and total time (in seconds) used by assembly.

--strip-local-absolute
Remove local absolute symbols from the outgoing symbol table.

-v
-version
Print the as version.

--version
Print the as version and exit.

-W
--no-warn
Suppress warning messages.

--fatal-warnings
Treat warnings as errors.

--warn
Don't suppress warning messages or treat them as errors.

-w Ignored.

-x Ignored.

-Z Generate an object file even after errors.

-- | files ...
Standard input, or source files to assemble.

The following options are available when as is configured for the 64-bit mode of the ARM
Architecture (AArch64).

-EB This option specifies that the output generated by the assembler should be marked as
being encoded for a big-endian processor.

-EL This option specifies that the output generated by the assembler should be marked as
being encoded for a little-endian processor.

-mabi=abi
Specify which ABI the source code uses. The recognized arguments are: "ilp32" and
"lp64", which decides the generated object file in ELF32 and ELF64 format
respectively. The default is "lp64".

-mcpu=processor[+extension...]
This option specifies the target processor. The assembler will issue an error message
if an attempt is made to assemble an instruction which will not execute on the target
processor. The following processor names are recognized: "cortex-a35", "cortex-a53",
"cortex-a57", "cortex-a72", "exynos-m1", "qdf24xx", "thunderx", "xgene1" and "xgene2".
The special name "all" may be used to allow the assembler to accept instructions valid
for any supported processor, including all optional extensions.

In addition to the basic instruction set, the assembler can be told to accept, or
restrict, various extension mnemonics that extend the processor.

If some implementations of a particular processor can have an extension, then then
those extensions are automatically enabled. Consequently, you will not normally have
to specify any additional extensions.

-march=architecture[+extension...]
This option specifies the target architecture. The assembler will issue an error
message if an attempt is made to assemble an instruction which will not execute on the
target architecture. The following architecture names are recognized: "armv8-a",
"armv8.1-a" and "armv8.2-a".

If both -mcpu and -march are specified, the assembler will use the setting for -mcpu.
If neither are specified, the assembler will default to -mcpu=all.

The architecture option can be extended with the same instruction set extension
options as the -mcpu option. Unlike -mcpu, extensions are not always enabled by
default,

-mverbose-error
This option enables verbose error messages for AArch64 gas. This option is enabled by
default.

-mno-verbose-error
This option disables verbose error messages in AArch64 gas.

The following options are available when as is configured for an Alpha processor.

-mcpu
This option specifies the target processor. If an attempt is made to assemble an
instruction which will not execute on the target processor, the assembler may either
expand the instruction as a macro or issue an error message. This option is
equivalent to the ".arch" directive.

The following processor names are recognized: 21064, "21064a", 21066, 21068, 21164,
"21164a", "21164pc", 21264, "21264a", "21264b", "ev4", "ev5", "lca45", "ev5", "ev56",
"pca56", "ev6", "ev67", "ev68". The special name "all" may be used to allow the
assembler to accept instructions valid for any Alpha processor.

In order to support existing practice in OSF/1 with respect to ".arch", and existing
practice within MILO (the Linux ARC bootloader), the numbered processor names (e.g.
21064) enable the processor-specific PALcode instructions, while the "electro-vlasic"
names (e.g. "ev4") do not.

-mdebug
-no-mdebug
Enables or disables the generation of ".mdebug" encapsulation for stabs directives and
procedure descriptors. The default is to automatically enable ".mdebug" when the
first stabs directive is seen.

-relax
This option forces all relocations to be put into the object file, instead of saving
space and resolving some relocations at assembly time. Note that this option does not
propagate all symbol arithmetic into the object file, because not all symbol
arithmetic can be represented. However, the option can still be useful in specific
applications.

-replace
-noreplace
Enables or disables the optimization of procedure calls, both at assemblage and at
link time. These options are only available for VMS targets and "-replace" is the
default. See section 1.4.1 of the OpenVMS Linker Utility Manual.

-g This option is used when the compiler generates debug information. When gcc is using
mips-tfile to generate debug information for ECOFF, local labels must be passed
through to the object file. Otherwise this option has no effect.

-Gsize
A local common symbol larger than size is placed in ".bss", while smaller symbols are
placed in ".sbss".

-F
-32addr
These options are ignored for backward compatibility.

The following options are available when as is configured for an ARC processor.

-mcpu=cpu
This option selects the core processor variant.

-EB | -EL
Select either big-endian (-EB) or little-endian (-EL) output.

-mcode-density
Enable Code Density extenssion instructions.

The following options are available when as is configured for the ARM processor family.

-mcpu=processor[+extension...]
Specify which ARM processor variant is the target.

-march=architecture[+extension...]
Specify which ARM architecture variant is used by the target.

-mfpu=floating-point-format
Select which Floating Point architecture is the target.

-mfloat-abi=abi
Select which floating point ABI is in use.

-mthumb
Enable Thumb only instruction decoding.

-mapcs-32 | -mapcs-26 | -mapcs-float | -mapcs-reentrant
Select which procedure calling convention is in use.

-EB | -EL
Select either big-endian (-EB) or little-endian (-EL) output.

-mthumb-interwork
Specify that the code has been generated with interworking between Thumb and ARM code
in mind.

-mccs
Turns on CodeComposer Studio assembly syntax compatibility mode.

-k Specify that PIC code has been generated.

The following options are available when as is configured for the Blackfin processor
family.

-mcpu=processor[-sirevision]
This option specifies the target processor. The optional sirevision is not used in
assembler. It's here such that GCC can easily pass down its "-mcpu=" option. The
assembler will issue an error message if an attempt is made to assemble an instruction
which will not execute on the target processor. The following processor names are
recognized: "bf504", "bf506", "bf512", "bf514", "bf516", "bf518", "bf522", "bf523",
"bf524", "bf525", "bf526", "bf527", "bf531", "bf532", "bf533", "bf534", "bf535" (not
implemented yet), "bf536", "bf537", "bf538", "bf539", "bf542", "bf542m", "bf544",
"bf544m", "bf547", "bf547m", "bf548", "bf548m", "bf549", "bf549m", "bf561", and
"bf592".

-mfdpic
Assemble for the FDPIC ABI.

-mno-fdpic
-mnopic
Disable -mfdpic.

See the info pages for documentation of the CRIS-specific options.

The following options are available when as is configured for a D10V processor.

-O Optimize output by parallelizing instructions.

The following options are available when as is configured for a D30V processor.

-O Optimize output by parallelizing instructions.

-n Warn when nops are generated.

-N Warn when a nop after a 32-bit multiply instruction is generated.

The following options are available when as is configured for an Epiphany processor.

-mepiphany
Specifies that the both 32 and 16 bit instructions are allowed. This is the default
behavior.

-mepiphany16
Restricts the permitted instructions to just the 16 bit set.

The following options are available when as is configured for an H8/300 processor.
@chapter H8/300 Dependent Features

Options
The Renesas H8/300 version of "as" has one machine-dependent option:

-h-tick-hex
Support H'00 style hex constants in addition to 0x00 style.

-mach=name
Sets the H8300 machine variant. The following machine names are recognised: "h8300h",
"h8300hn", "h8300s", "h8300sn", "h8300sx" and "h8300sxn".

The following options are available when as is configured for an i386 processor.

--32 | --x32 | --64
Select the word size, either 32 bits or 64 bits. --32 implies Intel i386
architecture, while --x32 and --64 imply AMD x86-64 architecture with 32-bit or 64-bit
word-size respectively.

These options are only available with the ELF object file format, and require that the
necessary BFD support has been included (on a 32-bit platform you have to add
--enable-64-bit-bfd to configure enable 64-bit usage and use x86-64 as target
platform).

-n By default, x86 GAS replaces multiple nop instructions used for alignment within code
sections with multi-byte nop instructions such as leal 0(%esi,1),%esi. This switch
disables the optimization.

--divide
On SVR4-derived platforms, the character / is treated as a comment character, which
means that it cannot be used in expressions. The --divide option turns / into a
normal character. This does not disable / at the beginning of a line starting a
comment, or affect using # for starting a comment.

-march=CPU[+EXTENSION...]
This option specifies the target processor. The assembler will issue an error message
if an attempt is made to assemble an instruction which will not execute on the target
processor. The following processor names are recognized: "i8086", "i186", "i286",
"i386", "i486", "i586", "i686", "pentium", "pentiumpro", "pentiumii", "pentiumiii",

"k6", "k6_2", "athlon", "opteron", "k8", "amdfam10", "bdver1", "bdver2", "bdver3",
"bdver4", "znver1", "btver1", "btver2", "generic32" and "generic64".

In addition to the basic instruction set, the assembler can be told to accept various
extension mnemonics. For example, "-march=i686+sse4+vmx" extends i686 with sse4 and
vmx. The following extensions are currently supported: 8087, 287, 387, "no87", "mmx",
"nommx", "sse", "sse2", "sse3", "ssse3", "sse4.1", "sse4.2", "sse4", "nosse", "avx",
"avx2", "adx", "rdseed", "prfchw", "smap", "mpx", "sha", "prefetchwt1", "clflushopt",
"se1", "clwb", "pcommit", "avx512f", "avx512cd", "avx512er", "avx512pf", "avx512vl",
"avx512bw", "avx512dq", "avx512ifma", "avx512vbmi", "noavx", "vmx", "vmfunc", "smx",
"xsave", "xsaveopt", "xsavec", "xsaves", "aes", "pclmul", "fsgsbase", "rdrnd", "f16c",
"bmi2", "fma", "movbe", "ept", "lzcnt", "hle", "rtm", "invpcid", "clflush", "mwaitx",
"clzero", "lwp", "fma4", "xop", "cx16", "syscall", "rdtscp", "3dnow", "3dnowa",
"sse4a", "sse5", "svme", "abm" and "padlock". Note that rather than extending a basic
instruction set, the extension mnemonics starting with "no" revoke the respective
functionality.

When the ".arch" directive is used with -march, the ".arch" directive will take
precedent.

-mtune=CPU
This option specifies a processor to optimize for. When used in conjunction with the
-march option, only instructions of the processor specified by the -march option will
be generated.

Valid CPU values are identical to the processor list of -march=CPU.

-msse2avx
This option specifies that the assembler should encode SSE instructions with VEX
prefix.

-msse-check=none
-msse-check=warning
-msse-check=error
These options control if the assembler should check SSE instructions.

default. -msse-check=warning will make the assembler issue a warning for any SSE
instruction. -msse-check=error will make the assembler issue an error for any SSE
instruction.

instructions. -mevexwig=0 will encode WIG EVEX instructions with evex.w = 0, which is
the default. -mevexwig=1 will encode WIG EVEX instructions with evex.w = 1.

-mmnemonic=att
-mmnemonic=intel
This option specifies instruction mnemonic for matching instructions. The
".att_mnemonic" and ".intel_mnemonic" directives will take precedent.

-msyntax=att
-msyntax=intel
This option specifies instruction syntax when processing instructions. The
".att_syntax" and ".intel_syntax" directives will take precedent.

-mnaked-reg
This opetion specifies that registers don't require a % prefix. The ".att_syntax" and
".intel_syntax" directives will take precedent.

-madd-bnd-prefix
This option forces the assembler to add BND prefix to all branches, even if such
prefix was not explicitly specified in the source code.

-mno-shared
On ELF target, the assembler normally optimizes out non-PLT relocations against
defined non-weak global branch targets with default visibility. The -mshared option
tells the assembler to generate code which may go into a shared library where all non-
weak global branch targets with default visibility can be preempted. The resulting
code is slightly bigger. This option only affects the handling of branch
instructions.

-mbig-obj
On x86-64 PE/COFF target this option forces the use of big object file format, which
allows more than 32768 sections.

-momit-lock-prefix=no
-momit-lock-prefix=yes
These options control how the assembler should encode lock prefix. This option is
intended as a workaround for processors, that fail on lock prefix. This option can
only be safely used with single-core, single-thread computers -momit-lock-prefix=yes
will omit all lock prefixes. -momit-lock-prefix=no will encode lock prefix as usual,
which is the default.

-mrelax-relocations=no
-mrelax-relocations=yes
These options control whether the assembler should generate relax relocations,
R_386_GOT32X, in 32-bit mode, or R_X86_64_GOTPCRELX and R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX, in
64-bit mode. -mrelax-relocations=yes will generate relax relocations.

controlled by a configure option --enable-x86-relax-relocations.

-mevexrcig=rne
-mevexrcig=rd
-mevexrcig=ru
-mevexrcig=rz
These options control how the assembler should encode SAE-only EVEX instructions.
-mevexrcig=rne will encode RC bits of EVEX instruction with 00, which is the default.
-mevexrcig=rd, -mevexrcig=ru and -mevexrcig=rz will encode SAE-only EVEX instructions
with 01, 10 and 11 RC bits, respectively.

-mamd64
-mintel64

-m68881 | -m68882 | -mno-68881 | -mno-68882
The target machine does (or does not) have a floating-point coprocessor. The default
is to assume a coprocessor for 68020, 68030, and cpu32. Although the basic 68000 is
not compatible with the 68881, a combination of the two can be specified, since it's
possible to do emulation of the coprocessor instructions with the main processor.

-m68851 | -mno-68851
The target machine does (or does not) have a memory-management unit coprocessor. The
default is to assume an MMU for 68020 and up.

The following options are available when as is configured for an Altera Nios II processor.

-relax-section
Replace identified out-of-range branches with PC-relative "jmp" sequences when
possible. The generated code sequences are suitable for use in position-independent
code, but there is a practical limit on the extended branch range because of the
length of the sequences. This option is the default.

-relax-all
Replace branch instructions not determinable to be in range and all call instructions
with "jmp" and "callr" sequences (respectively). This option generates absolute
relocations against the target symbols and is not appropriate for position-independent
code.

-no-relax
Do not replace any branches or calls.

permitted.

The following values of arch are accepted: "c62x", "c64x", "c64x+", "c67x", "c67x+",
"c674x".

-mdsbt
-mno-dsbt
The -mdsbt option causes the assembler to generate the "Tag_ABI_DSBT" attribute with a
value of 1, indicating that the code is using DSBT addressing. The -mno-dsbt option,
the default, causes the tag to have a value of 0, indicating that the code does not
use DSBT addressing. The linker will emit a warning if objects of different type
(DSBT and non-DSBT) are linked together.

-mpid=no
-mpid=near
-mpid=far
The -mpid= option causes the assembler to generate the "Tag_ABI_PID" attribute with a
value indicating the form of data addressing used by the code. -mpid=no, the default,
indicates position-dependent data addressing, -mpid=near indicates position-
independent addressing with GOT accesses using near DP addressing, and -mpid=far
indicates position-independent addressing with GOT accesses using far DP addressing.
The linker will emit a warning if objects built with different settings of this option
are linked together.

-mpic
-mno-pic
The -mpic option causes the assembler to generate the "Tag_ABI_PIC" attribute with a
value of 1, indicating that the code is using position-independent code addressing,
The "-mno-pic" option, the default, causes the tag to have a value of 0, indicating
position-dependent code addressing. The linker will emit a warning if objects of
different type (position-dependent and position-independent) are linked together.

an error message.

The following names are recognized: "mcm24" "mcm" "gr5" "gr6"

The following options are available when as is configured for an Xtensa processor.

--text-section-literals | --no-text-section-literals
Control the treatment of literal pools. The default is --no-text-section-literals,
which places literals in separate sections in the output file. This allows the
literal pool to be placed in a data RAM/ROM. With --text-section-literals, the
literals are interspersed in the text section in order to keep them as close as
possible to their references. This may be necessary for large assembly files, where
the literals would otherwise be out of range of the "L32R" instructions in the text
section. Literals are grouped into pools following ".literal_position" directives or
preceding "ENTRY" instructions. These options only affect literals referenced via PC-
relative "L32R" instructions; literals for absolute mode "L32R" instructions are
handled separately.

--auto-litpools | --no-auto-litpools
Control the treatment of literal pools. The default is --no-auto-litpools, which in
the absence of --text-section-literals places literals in separate sections in the
output file. This allows the literal pool to be placed in a data RAM/ROM. With
--auto-litpools, the literals are interspersed in the text section in order to keep
them as close as possible to their references, explicit ".literal_position" directives
are not required. This may be necessary for very large functions, where single
literal pool at the beginning of the function may not be reachable by "L32R"
instructions at the end. These options only affect literals referenced via PC-
relative "L32R" instructions; literals for absolute mode "L32R" instructions are
handled separately. When used together with --text-section-literals, --auto-litpools
takes precedence.

--absolute-literals | --no-absolute-literals
Indicate to the assembler whether "L32R" instructions use absolute or PC-relative
addressing. If the processor includes the absolute addressing option, the default is
to use absolute "L32R" relocations. Otherwise, only the PC-relative "L32R"
relocations can be used.

--target-align | --no-target-align
Enable or disable automatic alignment to reduce branch penalties at some expense in
code size. This optimization is enabled by default. Note that the assembler will
always align instructions like "LOOP" that have fixed alignment requirements.

--longcalls | --no-longcalls
Enable or disable transformation of call instructions to allow calls across a greater
range of addresses. This option should be used when call targets can potentially be
out of range. It may degrade both code size and performance, but the linker can
generally optimize away the unnecessary overhead when a call ends up within range.
The default is --no-longcalls.

--transform | --no-transform
Enable or disable all assembler transformations of Xtensa instructions, including both
relaxation and optimization. The default is --transform; --no-transform should only
be used in the rare cases when the instructions must be exactly as specified in the
assembly source. Using --no-transform causes out of range instruction operands to be
errors.

--rename-section oldname=newname
Rename the oldname section to newname. This option can be used multiple times to
rename multiple sections.

--trampolines | --no-trampolines
Enable or disable transformation of jump instructions to allow jumps across a greater
range of addresses. This option should be used when jump targets can potentially be
out of range. In the absence of such jumps this option does not affect code size or
performance. The default is --trampolines.
