  63. <h4 class="subsubsection">9.4.2.1 Instruction Set Syntax</h4>
  64. <p>Two slightly different syntaxes are support for ARM and THUMB
  65. instructions. The default, <code>divided</code>, uses the old style where
  66. ARM and THUMB instructions had their own, separate syntaxes. The new,
  67. <code>unified</code> syntax, which can be selected via the <code>.syntax</code>
  68. directive, and has the following main features:
  69. </p>
  70. <ul>
  71. <li> Immediate operands do not require a <code>#</code> prefix.
  72. </li><li> The <code>IT</code> instruction may appear, and if it does it is validated
  73. against subsequent conditional affixes. In ARM mode it does not
  74. generate machine code, in THUMB mode it does.
  75. </li><li> For ARM instructions the conditional affixes always appear at the end
  76. of the instruction. For THUMB instructions conditional affixes can be
  77. used, but only inside the scope of an <code>IT</code> instruction.
  78. </li><li> All of the instructions new to the V6T2 architecture (and later) are
  79. available. (Only a few such instructions can be written in the
  80. <code>divided</code> syntax).
  81. </li><li> The <code>.N</code> and <code>.W</code> suffixes are recognized and honored.
  82. </li><li> All instructions set the flags if and only if they have an <code>s</code>
  83. affix.
  84. </li></ul>
