<h4 class="subsubsection">9.4.2.4 ARM relocation generation</h4>

<a name="index-data-relocations_002c-ARM"></a>
<a name="index-ARM-data-relocations"></a>
<p>Specific data relocations can be generated by putting the relocation name
in parentheses after the symbol name.  For example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">        .word foo(TARGET1)
</pre></div>

<p>This will generate an &lsquo;<samp>R_ARM_TARGET1</samp>&rsquo; relocation against the symbol
<var>foo</var>.
The following relocations are supported:
<code>GOT</code>,
<code>GOTOFF</code>,
<code>TARGET1</code>,
<code>TARGET2</code>,
<code>SBREL</code>,
<code>TLSGD</code>,
<code>TLSLDM</code>,
<code>TLSLDO</code>,
<code>TLSDESC</code>,
<code>TLSCALL</code>,
<code>GOTTPOFF</code>,
<code>GOT_PREL</code>
and
<code>TPOFF</code>.
</p>
<p>For compatibility with older toolchains the assembler also accepts
<code>(PLT)</code> after branch targets.  On legacy targets this will
generate the deprecated &lsquo;<samp>R_ARM_PLT32</samp>&rsquo; relocation.  On EABI
targets it will encode either the &lsquo;<samp>R_ARM_CALL</samp>&rsquo; or
&lsquo;<samp>R_ARM_JUMP24</samp>&rsquo; relocation, as appropriate.
</p>
<a name="index-MOVW-and-MOVT-relocations_002c-ARM"></a>
<p>Relocations for &lsquo;<samp>MOVW</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>MOVT</samp>&rsquo; instructions can be generated
by prefixing the value with &lsquo;<samp>#:lower16:</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>#:upper16</samp>&rsquo;
respectively.  For example to load the 32-bit address of foo into r0:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">        MOVW r0, #:lower16:foo
        MOVT r0, #:upper16:foo
</pre></div>

<p>Relocations &lsquo;<samp>R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G0_NC</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G1_NC</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G2_NC</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G3_NC</samp>&rsquo; can be
generated by prefixing the value with &lsquo;<samp>#:lower0_7:#</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>#:lower8_15:#</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>#:upper0_7:#</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>#:upper8_15:#</samp>&rsquo;
respectively.  For example to load the 32-bit address of foo into r0:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">        MOVS r0, #:upper8_15:#foo
        LSLS r0, r0, #8
        ADDS r0, #:upper0_7:#foo
        LSLS r0, r0, #8
        ADDS r0, #:lower8_15:#foo
        LSLS r0, r0, #8
        ADDS r0, #:lower0_7:#foo
</pre></div>
