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