  67. <p>The assembler supports one modifier when using symbol addresses
  68. in RX instruction operands. The general syntax is the following:
  69. </p>
  70. <div class="smallexample">
  71. <pre class="smallexample">%gp(symbol)
  72. </pre></div>
  73. <p>The modifier returns the offset from the <var>__gp</var> symbol to the
  74. specified symbol as a 16-bit value. The intent is that this offset
  75. should be used in a register+offset move instruction when generating
  76. references to small data. Ie, like this:
  77. </p>
  78. <div class="smallexample">
  79. <pre class="smallexample"> mov.W %gp(_foo)[%gpreg], r1
  80. </pre></div>
  81. <p>The assembler also supports two meta register names which can be used
  82. to refer to registers whose values may not be known to the
  83. programmer. These meta register names are:
  84. </p>
  85. <dl compact="compact">
  86. <dd>
  87. <a name="index-_0025gpreg"></a>
  88. </dd>
  89. <dt><code>%gpreg</code></dt>
  90. <dd><p>The small data address register.
  91. </p>
  92. <a name="index-_0025pidreg"></a>
  93. </dd>
  94. <dt><code>%pidreg</code></dt>
  95. <dd><p>The PID base address register.
  96. </p>
  97. </dd>
  98. </dl>
  99. <p>Both registers normally have the value r13, but this can change if
  100. some registers have been reserved for use by interrupt handlers or if
  101. both the small data limit and position independent data features are
  102. being used at the same time.
