@cindex CR16 Operand Qualifiers

The National Semiconductor CR16 target of @code{@value{AS}} has a few machine dependent operand qualifiers.  

Operand expression type qualifier is an optional field in the instruction operand, to determines the type of the expression field of an operand. The @code{@@} is required. CR16 architecture uses one of the following expression qualifiers:

@table @code
@item  s 
- @code{Specifies expression operand type as small}
@item  m 
- @code{Specifies expression operand type as medium}
@item  l 
- @code{Specifies expression operand type as large}
@item  c 
- @code{Specifies the CR16 Assembler generates a relocation entry for the operand, where pc has implied bit, the expression is adjusted accordingly. The linker uses the relocation entry to update the operand address at link time.}
@end table

CR16 target operand qualifiers and its size (in bits):

@table @samp
@item Immediate Operand
- s ---- 4 bits
@item 
- m ---- 16 bits, for movb and movw instructions.
@item 
- m ---- 20 bits, movd instructions.
@item 
- l ---- 32 bits

@item Absolute Operand
- s ---- Illegal specifier for this operand.
@item  
- m ---- 20 bits, movd instructions.

@item Displacement Operand
- s ---- 8 bits
@item
- m ---- 16 bits
@item 
- l ---- 24 bits
@end table

For example:
@example
1   @code{movw $_myfun@@c,r1}

    This loads the address of _myfun, shifted right by 1, into r1.

2   @code{movd $_myfun@@c,(r2,r1)}

    This loads the address of _myfun, shifted right by 1, into register-pair r2-r1.
                
3   @code{_myfun_ptr:}
    @code{.long _myfun@@c}
    @code{loadd _myfun_ptr, (r1,r0)}
    @code{jal (r1,r0)}

    This .long directive, the address of _myfunc, shifted right by 1 at link time.
