| <p><a name="index-D30V-size-modifiers-781"></a><a name="index-size-modifiers_002c-D30V-782"></a>The D30V version of <code>as</code> uses the instruction names in the D30V |
| Architecture Manual. However, the names in the manual are sometimes ambiguous. |
| There are instruction names that can assemble to a short or long form opcode. |
| How does the assembler pick the correct form? <code>as</code> will always pick the |
| smallest form if it can. When dealing with a symbol that is not defined yet when a |
| line is being assembled, it will always use the long form. If you need to force the |
| assembler to use either the short or long form of the instruction, you can append |
| either ‘<samp><span class="samp">.s</span></samp>’ (short) or ‘<samp><span class="samp">.l</span></samp>’ (long) to it. For example, if you are writing |
| an assembly program and you want to do a branch to a symbol that is defined later |
| in your program, you can write ‘<samp><span class="samp">bra.s foo</span></samp>’. |
| Objdump and GDB will always append ‘<samp><span class="samp">.s</span></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">.l</span></samp>’ to instructions which |
| have both short and long forms. |
