| The 128 integer registers are referred to as ‘<samp><span class="samp">r</span><var>n</var></samp>’. |
| The 128 floating-point registers are referred to as ‘<samp><span class="samp">f</span><var>n</var></samp>’. |
| The 128 application registers are referred to as ‘<samp><span class="samp">ar</span><var>n</var></samp>’. |
| The 128 control registers are referred to as ‘<samp><span class="samp">cr</span><var>n</var></samp>’. |
| The 64 one-bit predicate registers are referred to as ‘<samp><span class="samp">p</span><var>n</var></samp>’. |
| The 8 branch registers are referred to as ‘<samp><span class="samp">b</span><var>n</var></samp>’. |
| In addition, the assembler defines a number of aliases: |
| ‘<samp><span class="samp">gp</span></samp>’ (‘<samp><span class="samp">r1</span></samp>’), ‘<samp><span class="samp">sp</span></samp>’ (‘<samp><span class="samp">r12</span></samp>’), ‘<samp><span class="samp">rp</span></samp>’ (‘<samp><span class="samp">b0</span></samp>’), |
| ‘<samp><span class="samp">ret0</span></samp>’ (‘<samp><span class="samp">r8</span></samp>’), ‘<samp><span class="samp">ret1</span></samp>’ (‘<samp><span class="samp">r9</span></samp>’), ‘<samp><span class="samp">ret2</span></samp>’ (‘<samp><span class="samp">r10</span></samp>’), |
| ‘<samp><span class="samp">ret3</span></samp>’ (‘<samp><span class="samp">r9</span></samp>’), ‘<samp><span class="samp">farg</span><var>n</var></samp>’ (‘<samp><span class="samp">f8+</span><var>n</var></samp>’), and |
| ‘<samp><span class="samp">fret</span><var>n</var></samp>’ (‘<samp><span class="samp">f8+</span><var>n</var></samp>’). |
| |
| <p>For convenience, the assembler also defines aliases for all named application |
| and control registers. For example, ‘<samp><span class="samp">ar.bsp</span></samp>’ refers to the register |
| backing store pointer (‘<samp><span class="samp">ar17</span></samp>’). Similarly, ‘<samp><span class="samp">cr.eoi</span></samp>’ refers to |
| the end-of-interrupt register (‘<samp><span class="samp">cr67</span></samp>’). |
