<h4 class="subsection">9.14.4 i860 Opcodes</h4>
<p><a name="index-opcodes_002c-i860-1005"></a><a name="index-i860-opcodes-1006"></a>All of the Intel i860XR and i860XP machine instructions are supported. Please see
either <em>i860 Microprocessor Programmer's Reference Manual</em> or <em>i860 Microprocessor Architecture</em> for more information.
<h5 class="subsubsection">9.14.4.1 Other instruction support (pseudo-instructions)</h5>
<p>For compatibility with some other i860 assemblers, a number of
pseudo-instructions are supported. While these are supported, they are
a very undesirable feature that should be avoided &ndash; in particular, when
they result in an expansion to multiple actual i860 instructions. Below
are the pseudo-instructions that result in expansions.
<ul>
<li>Load large immediate into general register:
<p>The pseudo-instruction <code>mov imm,%rn</code> (where the immediate does
not fit within a signed 16-bit field) will be expanded into:
<pre class="smallexample"> orh large_imm@h,%r0,%rn
or large_imm@l,%rn,%rn
</pre>
<li>Load/store with relocatable address expression:
<p>For example, the pseudo-instruction <code>ld.b addr_exp(%rx),%rn</code>
will be expanded into:
<pre class="smallexample"> orh addr_exp@ha,%rx,%r31
ld.l addr_exp@l(%r31),%rn
</pre>
<p>The analogous expansions apply to <code>ld.x, st.x, fld.x, pfld.x, fst.x</code>, and <code>pst.x</code> as well.
<li>Signed large immediate with add/subtract:
<p>If any of the arithmetic operations <code>adds, addu, subs, subu</code> are used
with an immediate larger than 16-bits (signed), then they will be expanded.
For instance, the pseudo-instruction <code>adds large_imm,%rx,%rn</code> expands to:
<pre class="smallexample"> orh large_imm@h,%r0,%r31
or large_imm@l,%r31,%r31
adds %r31,%rx,%rn
</pre>
<li>Unsigned large immediate with logical operations:
<p>Logical operations (<code>or, andnot, or, xor</code>) also result in expansions.
The pseudo-instruction <code>or large_imm,%rx,%rn</code> results in:
<pre class="smallexample"> orh large_imm@h,%rx,%r31
or large_imm@l,%r31,%rn
</pre>
<p>Similarly for the others, except for <code>and</code> which expands to:
<pre class="smallexample"> andnot (-1 - large_imm)@h,%rx,%r31
andnot (-1 - large_imm)@l,%r31,%rn
</pre>
</ul>
