-.SH "NAME"
-yasm_arch \- Yasm Supported Target Architectures
-.SH "SYNOPSIS"
-.HP \w'\fByasm\fR\ 'u
-\fByasm\fR \fB\-a\ \fR\fB\fIarch\fR\fR [\fB\-m\ \fR\fB\fImachine\fR\fR] \fB\fI\&.\&.\&.\fR\fR
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-The standard Yasm distribution includes a number of modules for different target architectures\&. Each target architecture can support one or more machine architectures\&.
-.PP
-The architecture and machine are selected on the
-\fByasm\fR(1)
-command line by use of the
-\fB\-a \fR\fB\fIarch\fR\fR
-and
-\fB\-m \fR\fB\fImachine\fR\fR
-command line options, respectively\&.
-.PP
-The machine architecture may also automatically be selected by certain object formats\&. For example, the
-\(lqelf32\(rq
-object format selects the
-\(lqx86\(rq
-machine architecture by default, while the
-\(lqelf64\(rq
-object format selects the
-\(lqamd64\(rq
-machine architecture by default\&.
-.SH "X86 ARCHITECTURE"
-.PP
-The
-\(lqx86\(rq
-architecture supports the IA\-32 instruction set and derivatives and the AMD64 instruction set\&. It consists of two machines:
-\(lqx86\(rq
-(for the IA\-32 and derivatives) and
-\(lqamd64\(rq
-(for the AMD64 and derivatives)\&. The default machine for the
-\(lqx86\(rq
-architecture is the
-\(lqx86\(rq
-machine\&.
-.SS "BITS Setting"
-.PP
-The x86 architecture BITS setting specifies to Yasm the processor mode in which the generated code is intended to execute\&. x86 processors can run in three different major execution modes: 16\-bit, 32\-bit, and on AMD64\-supporting processors, 64\-bit\&. As the x86 instruction set contains portions whose function is execution\-mode dependent (such as operand\-size and address\-size override prefixes), Yasm cannot assemble x86 instructions correctly unless it is told by the user in what processor mode the code will execute\&.
-.PP
-The BITS setting can be changed in a variety of ways\&. When using the NASM\-compatible parser, the BITS setting can be changed directly via the use of the
-\fBBITS xx\fR
-assembler directive\&. The default BITS setting is determined by the object format in use\&.
-.SS "BITS 64 Extensions"
-.PP
-The AMD64 architecture is a new 64\-bit architecture developed by AMD, based on the 32\-bit x86 architecture\&. It extends the original x86 architecture by doubling the number of general purpose and SIMD registers, extending the arithmetic operations and address space to 64 bits, as well as other features\&.
-.PP
-Recently, Intel has introduced an essentially identical version of AMD64 called EM64T\&.
-.PP
-When an AMD64\-supporting processor is executing in 64\-bit mode, a number of additional extensions are available, including extra general purpose registers, extra SSE2 registers, and RIP\-relative addressing\&.
-.PP
-Yasm extends the base NASM syntax to support AMD64 as follows\&. To enable assembly of instructions for the 64\-bit mode of AMD64 processors, use the directive
-\fBBITS 64\fR\&. As with NASM\*(Aqs BITS directive, this does not change the format of the output object file to 64 bits; it only changes the assembler mode to assume that the instructions being assembled will be run in 64\-bit mode\&. To specify an AMD64 object file, use
-\fB\-m amd64\fR
-on the Yasm command line, or explicitly target a 64\-bit object format such as
-\fB\-f win64\fR
-or
-\fB\-f elf64\fR\&.
-\fB\-f elfx32\fR
-can be used to select 32\-bit ELF object format for AMD64 processors\&.

-\fBRegister Changes\fR
-.RS 4
-.PP
-The additional 64\-bit general purpose registers are named r8\-r15\&. There are also 8\-bit (rXb), 16\-bit (rXw), and 32\-bit (rXd) subregisters that map to the least significant 8, 16, or 32 bits of the 64\-bit register\&. The original 8 general purpose registers have also been extended to 64\-bits: eax, edx, ecx, ebx, esi, edi, esp, and ebp have new 64\-bit versions called rax, rdx, rcx, rbx, rsi, rdi, rsp, and rbp respectively\&. The old 32\-bit registers map to the least significant bits of the new 64\-bit registers\&.
-.PP
-New 8\-bit registers are also available that map to the 8 least significant bits of rsi, rdi, rsp, and rbp\&. These are called sil, dil, spl, and bpl respectively\&. Unfortunately, due to the way instructions are encoded, these new 8\-bit registers are encoded the same as the old 8\-bit registers ah, dh, ch, and bh\&. The processor tells which is being used by the presence of the new REX prefix that is used to specify the other extended registers\&. This means it is illegal to mix the use of ah, dh, ch, and bh with an instruction that requires the REX prefix for other reasons\&. For instance:
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-add ah, [r10]
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.PP
-(NASM syntax) is not a legal instruction because the use of r10 requires a REX prefix, making it impossible to use ah\&.
-.PP
-In 64\-bit mode, an additional 8 SSE2 registers are also available\&. These are named xmm8\-xmm15\&.
-.RE
-.sp

-.nr an-break-flag 1
-.br
-.ps +1
-\fB64 Bit Instructions\fR
-.RS 4
-.PP
-By default, most operations in 64\-bit mode remain 32\-bit; operations that are 64\-bit usually require a REX prefix (one bit in the REX prefix determines whether an operation is 64\-bit or 32\-bit)\&. Thus, essentially all 32\-bit instructions have a 64\-bit version, and the 64\-bit versions of instructions can use extended registers
-\(lqfor free\(rq
-(as the REX prefix is already present)\&. Examples in NASM syntax:
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov eax, 1 ; 32\-bit instruction
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov rcx, 1 ; 64\-bit instruction
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.PP
-Instructions that modify the stack (push, pop, call, ret, enter, and leave) are implicitly 64\-bit\&. Their 32\-bit counterparts are not available, but their 16\-bit counterparts are\&. Examples in NASM syntax:
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-push eax ; illegal instruction
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-push rbx ; 1\-byte instruction
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-push r11 ; 2\-byte instruction with REX prefix
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.RE
-.sp
-.it 1 an-trap
-.nr an-no-space-flag 1
-.nr an-break-flag 1
-.br
-.ps +1
-\fBImplicit Zero Extension\fR
-.RS 4
-.PP
-Results of 32\-bit operations are implicitly zero\-extended to the upper 32 bits of the corresponding 64\-bit register\&. 16 and 8 bit operations, on the other hand, do not affect upper bits of the register (just as in 32\-bit and 16\-bit modes)\&. This can be used to generate smaller code in some instances\&. Examples in NASM syntax:
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov ecx, 1 ; 1 byte shorter than mov rcx, 1
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-and edx, 3 ; equivalent to and rdx, 3
-.fi
-.if n \{\

-.\}
-.RE
-.sp
-.it 1 an-trap
-.nr an-no-space-flag 1
-.nr an-break-flag 1
-.br
-.ps +1
-\fBImmediates\fR
-.RS 4
-.PP
-For most instructions in 64\-bit mode, immediate values remain 32 bits; their value is sign\-extended into the upper 32 bits of the target register prior to being used\&. The exception is the mov instruction, which can take a 64\-bit immediate when the destination is a 64\-bit register\&. Examples in NASM syntax:
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-add rax, 1 ; optimized down to signed 8\-bit
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\

-.nf
-add rax, dword 1 ; force size to 32\-bit
-.fi
-.if n \{\

-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-add rax, 0xffffffff ; sign\-extended 32\-bit
-.fi

-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-add rax, \-1 ; same as above
-.fi
-.if n \{\

-.sp
-.if n \{\

-.nf
-add rax, 0xffffffffffffffff ; truncated to 32\-bit (warning)
-.fi

-mov eax, 1 ; 5 byte
-.fi

-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\

-.\}
-.nf
-mov rax, 1 ; 5 byte (optimized to signed 32\-bit)
-.fi

-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\

-.sp
-.if n \{\

-.nf
-mov rbx, 0x1234567890abcdef ; 10 byte
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov rcx, 0xffffffff ; 10 byte (does not fit in signed 32\-bit)
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov ecx, \-1 ; 5 byte, equivalent to above
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov rcx, sym ; 5 byte, 32\-bit size default for symbols
-.fi
-.if n \{\

-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov rcx, qword sym ; 10 byte, override default size
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.PP
-The handling of mov reg64, unsized immediate is different between YASM and NASM 2\&.x; YASM follows the above behavior, while NASM 2\&.x does the following:
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-add rax, 0xffffffff ; sign\-extended 32\-bit immediate
-.fi
-.if n \{\

-.\}
-.sp

-\fBDisplacements\fR
-.RS 4
-.PP
-Just like immediates, displacements, for the most part, remain 32 bits and are sign extended prior to use\&. Again, the exception is one restricted form of the mov instruction: between the al/ax/eax/rax register and a 64\-bit absolute address (no registers allowed in the effective address)\&. In NASM syntax, use of the 64\-bit absolute form requires
-\fB[qword]\fR\&. Examples in NASM syntax:
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov eax, [1] ; 32 bit, with sign extension
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov al, [rax\-1] ; 32 bit, with sign extension
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov al, [qword 0x1122334455667788] ; 64\-bit absolute
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov al, [0x1122334455667788] ; truncated to 32\-bit (warning)

-.nr an-break-flag 1
-.br

-\fBRIP Relative Addressing\fR
-.RS 4
-.PP
-In 64\-bit mode, a new form of effective addressing is available to make it easier to write position\-independent code\&. Any memory reference may be made RIP relative (RIP is the instruction pointer register, which contains the address of the location immediately following the current instruction)\&.
-.PP
-In NASM syntax, there are two ways to specify RIP\-relative addressing:
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov dword [rip+10], 1
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.PP
-stores the value 1 ten bytes after the end of the instruction\&.
-\fB10\fR
-can also be a symbolic constant, and will be treated the same way\&. On the other hand,
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov dword [symb wrt rip], 1
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.PP
-stores the value 1 into the address of symbol
-\fBsymb\fR\&. This is distinctly different than the behavior of:
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov dword [symb+rip], 1
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.PP
-which takes the address of the end of the instruction, adds the address of
-\fBsymb\fR
-to it, then stores the value 1 there\&. If
-\fBsymb\fR
-is a variable, this will
-\fInot\fR
-store the value 1 into the
-\fBsymb\fR
-variable!
-.PP
-Yasm also supports the following syntax for RIP\-relative addressing:
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov [rel sym], rax ; RIP\-relative
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov [abs sym], rax ; not RIP\-relative
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.PP
-The behavior of:
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-mov [sym], rax
-.fi
-.if n \{\
-.RE
-.\}
-.PP
-Depends on a mode set by the DEFAULT directive, as follows\&. The default mode is always "abs", and in "rel" mode, use of registers, an fs or gs segment override, or an explicit "abs" override will result in a non\-RIP\-relative effective address\&.
-.sp

-\fBMemory references\fR
-.RS 4
-.PP
-Usually the size of a memory reference can be deduced by which registers you\*(Aqre moving\-\-for example, "mov [rax],ecx" is a 32\-bit move, because ecx is 32 bits\&. YASM currently gives the non\-obvious "invalid combination of opcode and operands" error if it can\*(Aqt figure out how much memory you\*(Aqre moving\&. The fix in this case is to add a memory size specifier: qword, dword, word, or byte\&.
-.PP
-Here\*(Aqs a 64\-bit memory move, which sets 8 bytes starting at rax:
-.sp
-.if n \{\

-.SH "LC3B ARCHITECTURE"

-When using the

-The standard Yasm distribution includes a number of modules for different debugging formats\&. The debugging information is embedded into the object file\&. Use of a non\-\(lqnull\(rq
-debug format also causes Yasm to output all symbols to the object file (including local symbols)\&.
-.PP
-The debug format is selected on the
-\fByasm\fR(1)
-command line by use of the
-\fB\-g \fR\fB\fIdbgfmt\fR\fR
-command line option\&.
-.SH "CV8"
-.PP
-The CV8 debug format is used by Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (version 8\&.0) and is completely undocumented, although it bears strong similarities to earlier CodeView formats\&. Yasm\'s support for the CV8 debug format is currently limited to generating assembly\-level line number information (to allow some level of source\-level debugging)\&. The CV8 debug information is stored in the \&.debug$S and \&.debug$T sections of the Win64 object file\&.
-.SH "DWARF2"
-.PP
-The DWARF 2 debug format is a complex, well\-documented standard for debugging information\&. It was created to overcome shortcomings in STABS, allowing for much more detailed and compact descriptions of data structures, data variable movement, and complex language structures such as in C++\&. The debugging information is stored in sections (just like normal program sections) in the object file\&. Yasm supports full pass\-through of DWARF2 debugging information (e\&.g\&. from a C++ compiler), and can also generate assembly\-level line number information\&.
-.SH "NULL"
-.PP
-The
-\(lqnull\(rq
-debug format is a placeholder; it adds no debugging information to the output file\&.
-.SH "STABS"
-.PP
-The STABS debug format is a poorly documented, semi\-standard format for debugging information in COFF and ELF object files\&. The debugging information is stored as part of the object file\'s symbol table and thus is limited in complexity and scope\&. Despite this, STABS is a common debugging format on older Unix and compatible systems, as well as DJGPP\&.

-.SH "NAME"
-yasm_objfmts \- Yasm Supported Object Formats

-.HP \w'\fByasm\fR\ 'u
-\fByasm\fR \fB\-f\ \fR\fB\fIobjfmt\fR\fR \fB\fI\&.\&.\&.\fR\fR
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-The standard Yasm distribution includes a number of modules for different object formats (Yasm\*(Aqs primary output)\&.
-.PP
-The object format is selected on the
-\fByasm\fR(1)
-command line by use of the
-\fB\-f \fR\fB\fIobjfmt\fR\fR
-command line option\&.
-.SH "BIN"
-.PP
-The
-\(lqbin\(rq
-object format produces a flat\-format, non\-relocatable binary file\&. It is appropriate for producing DOS \&.COM executables or things like boot blocks\&. It supports only 3 sections and those sections are written in a predefined order to the output file\&.
-.SH "COFF"
-.PP
-The COFF object format is an older relocatable object format used on older Unix and compatible systems, and also (more recently) on the DJGPP development system for DOS\&.
-.SH "DBG"
-.PP
-The
-\(lqdbg\(rq
-object format is not a
-\(lqreal\(rq
-object format; the output file it creates simply describes the sequence of calls made to it by Yasm and the final object and symbol table information in a human\-readable text format (that in a normal object format would get processed into that object format\*(Aqs particular binary representation)\&. This object format is not intended for real use, but rather for debugging Yasm\*(Aqs internals\&.
-.SH "ELF"
-.PP
-The ELF object format really comes in three flavors:
-\(lqelf32\(rq
-(for 32\-bit targets),
-\(lqelf64\(rq
-(for 64\-bit targets and
-\(lqelfx32\(rq
-(for x32 targets)\&. ELF is a standard object format in common use on modern Unix and compatible systems (e\&.g\&. Linux, FreeBSD)\&. ELF has complex support for relocatable and shared objects\&.
-.SH "MACHO"
-.PP
-The Mach\-O object format really comes in two flavors:
-\(lqmacho32\(rq
-(for 32\-bit targets) and
-\(lqmacho64\(rq
-(for 64\-bit targets)\&. Mach\-O is used as the object format on MacOS X\&. As Yasm currently only supports x86 and AMD64 instruction sets, it can only generate Mach\-O objects for Intel\-based Macs\&.
-.SH "RDF"
-.PP
-The RDOFF2 object format is a simple multi\-section format originally designed for NASM\&. It supports segment references but not WRT references\&. It was designed primarily for simplicity and has minimalistic headers for ease of loading and linking\&. A complete toolchain (linker, librarian, and loader) is distributed with NASM\&.
-.SH "WIN32"
-.PP
-The Win32 object format produces object files compatible with Microsoft compilers (such as Visual C++) that target the 32\-bit x86 Windows platform\&. The object format itself is an extended version of COFF\&.
-.SH "WIN64"
-.PP
-The Win64 object format produces object files compatible with Microsoft compilers that target the 64\-bit
-\(lqx64\(rq
-Windows platform\&. This format is very similar to the win32 object format, but produces 64\-bit objects\&.
-.SH "XDF"
-.PP
-The XDF object format is essentially a simplified version of COFF\&. It\*(Aqs a multi\-section relocatable format that supports 64\-bit physical and virtual addresses\&.

-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-The standard Yasm distribution includes a number of modules for different parsers (assembler syntaxes)\&.
-.PP
-The parser is selected on the
-\fByasm\fR(1)
-command line by use of the
-\fB\-p \fR\fB\fIparser\fR\fR
-command line option\&.
-.SH "NASM PARSER"
-.PP
-NASM syntax, selected with
-\fB\-p nasm\fR, is the most full\-featured syntax supported by Yasm\&. Yasm is nearly 100% compatible with NASM for 16\-bit and 32\-bit x86 code\&. Yasm additionally supports 64\-bit AMD64 code with Yasm extensions to the NASM syntax; see
-\fByasm_arch\fR(7)
-for details\&. NASM syntax is the Yasm default\&.
-.SH "GAS PARSER"
-.PP
-The GNU Assembler (GAS) is the de\-facto cross\-platform assembler for modern Unix systems, and is used as the backend for the GCC compiler\&. Yasm\'s support for GAS syntax is moderately good, although immature: not all directives are supported, and only 32\-bit x86 and AMD64 architectures are supported\&. Nearly all of the GAS preprocessor is also supported\&. Yasm\'s GAS syntax support is good enough to handle essentially all x86 and AMD64 GCC compiler output\&. The GAS parser can be selected with
-\fB\-p gas\fR\&.
