| A literal pool is a collection of values. To access the values a pointer |
| to the literal pool is loaded to a register, the literal pool register. |
| Usually, register %r13 is used as the literal pool register |
| (<a href="s390-Register.html#s390-Register">s390 Register</a>). Literal pool entries are created by adding the |
| suffix :lit1, :lit2, :lit4, or :lit8 to the end of an expression for an |
| instruction operand. The expression is added to the literal pool and the |
| operand is replaced with the offset to the literal in the literal pool. |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt><code>:lit1</code><dd>The literal pool entry is created as an 8-bit value. An operand modifier |
| must not be used for the original expression. |
| <br><dt><code>:lit2</code><dd>The literal pool entry is created as a 16 bit value. The operand modifier |
| @got may be used in the original expression. The term ‘<samp><span class="samp">x@got:lit2</span></samp>’ |
| will put the got offset for the global symbol x to the literal pool as |
| 16 bit value. |
| <br><dt><code>:lit4</code><dd>The literal pool entry is created as a 32-bit value. The operand modifier |
| @got and @plt may be used in the original expression. The term |
| ‘<samp><span class="samp">x@got:lit4</span></samp>’ will put the got offset for the global symbol x to the |
| literal pool as a 32-bit value. The term ‘<samp><span class="samp">x@plt:lit4</span></samp>’ will put the |
| plt offset for the global symbol x to the literal pool as a 32-bit value. |
| <br><dt><code>:lit8</code><dd>The literal pool entry is created as a 64-bit value. The operand modifier |
| @got and @plt may be used in the original expression. The term |
| ‘<samp><span class="samp">x@got:lit8</span></samp>’ will put the got offset for the global symbol x to the |
| literal pool as a 64-bit value. The term ‘<samp><span class="samp">x@plt:lit8</span></samp>’ will put the |
| plt offset for the global symbol x to the literal pool as a 64-bit value. |
| </dl> |
| |
| <p>The assembler directive ‘<samp><span class="samp">.ltorg</span></samp>’ is used to emit all literal pool |
| entries to the current position. |
