Hello all, I am a GCC newbie... We are doing a research on comparing processor architectures with respect to few basic algorithms (like sorting, searching etc). We are aware of certain kind of an assembly language which is emitted by gcc, targeted to the processor of one's choice. We are not interested in porting GCC to our specimen architectures, but are interested in the emitted assembly language. Can someone throw light on what sort of an assembly language the following snippet is (we think that it is something which is generated by GCC), and where can we find the complete specification of such an assembly language. <code> .text .globl main .ent main main: .frame sp,7 # vars= 7, regs= 0, args= 0, extra= 0 subi sp,sp,7 ldw r8,7(sp) li r7,123 stw r7,a la r7,a stw r7,b li r7,0 stw r7,0(r8) addi sp,sp,7 return .end main .globl a .sdata .type a,@object .size a,1 a: .space 1 .globl b .type b,@object .size b,1 b: .space 1 </code> Thanks in advance, Siva Chandra -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Target-Assembly-tf4624898.html#a13207889 Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
