@table @code
@cindex @code{-marc[5|6|7|8]} command line option, ARC
@item -marc[5|6|7|8]
This option selects the core processor variant. Using
@code{-marc} is the same as @code{-marc@value{ARC_CORE_DEFAULT}}, which
is also the default.
@table @code
@cindex @code{arc5} arc5, ARC
@item arc5
Base instruction set.
@cindex @code{arc6} arc6, ARC
@item arc6
Jump-and-link (jl) instruction. No requirement of an instruction between
setting flags and conditional jump. For example:
@smallexample
mov.f r0,r1
beq foo
@end smallexample
@cindex @code{arc7} arc7, ARC
@item arc7
Break (brk) and sleep (sleep) instructions.
@cindex @code{arc8} arc8, ARC
@item arc8
Software interrupt (swi) instruction.
@end table
Note: the @code{.option} directive can to be used to select a core
variant from within assembly code.
@cindex @code{-EB} command line option, ARC
@item -EB
This option specifies that the output generated by the assembler should
be marked as being encoded for a big-endian processor.
@cindex @code{-EL} command line option, ARC
@item -EL
This option specifies that the output generated by the assembler should
be marked as being encoded for a little-endian processor - this is the
default.

@cindex ARC floating point (@sc{ieee})
The ARC core does not currently have hardware floating point
support. Software floating point support is provided by @code{GCC}
and uses @sc{ieee} floating-point numbers.

@cindex ARC machine directives
The ARC version of @code{@value{AS}} supports the following additional
machine directives:
@table @code
@cindex @code{2byte} directive, ARC
@item .2byte @var{expressions}
*TODO*
@cindex @code{3byte} directive, ARC
@item .3byte @var{expressions}
*TODO*
@cindex @code{4byte} directive, ARC
@item .4byte @var{expressions}
*TODO*
@cindex @code{extAuxRegister} directive, ARC
@item .extAuxRegister @var{name},@var{address},@var{mode}
*TODO*
@smallexample
.extAuxRegister mulhi,0x12,w
@end smallexample
@cindex @code{extCondCode} directive, ARC
@item .extCondCode @var{suffix},@var{value}
*TODO*
@smallexample
.extCondCode is_busy,0x14
@end smallexample
@cindex @code{extCoreRegister} directive, ARC
@item .extCoreRegister @var{name},@var{regnum},@var{mode},@var{shortcut}
*TODO*
@smallexample
.extCoreRegister mlo,57,r,can_shortcut
@end smallexample
@cindex @code{extInstruction} directive, ARC
@item .extInstruction @var{name},@var{opcode},@var{subopcode},@var{suffixclass},@var{syntaxclass}
*TODO*
@smallexample
.extInstruction mul64,0x14,0x0,SUFFIX_COND,SYNTAX_3OP|OP1_MUST_BE_IMM
@end smallexample
@cindex @code{half} directive, ARC

@cindex @code{long} directive, ARC
@item .long @var{expressions}
*TODO*
@cindex @code{option} directive, ARC
@item .option @var{arc|arc5|arc6|arc7|arc8}
The @code{.option} directive must be followed by the desired core
version. Again @code{arc} is an alias for
@code{arc@value{ARC_CORE_DEFAULT}}.
Note: the @code{.option} directive overrides the command line option
@code{-marc}; a warning is emitted when the version is not consistent
between the two - even for the implicit default core version
(arc@value{ARC_CORE_DEFAULT}).
@cindex @code{short} directive, ARC
@item .short @var{expressions}
*TODO*
@cindex @code{word} directive, ARC
@item .word @var{expressions}
*TODO*
