This chapter documents the backend for the Atari Jaguar GPU/DSP RISC processor.
@section Legal
This module is written in 2014-2015 by Frank Wille and
is covered by the vasm copyright without modifications.
@section Additional options for this module
This module provides the following additional options:
@table @option
@item -big
Output big-endian code and data (default).
@item -little
Output little-endian code and data.
@item -many
Generate code for GPU or DSP RISC. All instructions are accepted
(default).
@item -mdsp
@itemx -mjerry
Generate code for the DSP RISC (part of Jerry).
@item -mgpu
@itemx -mtom
Generate code for the GPU RISC (part of Tom).
@end table
@section General
This backend accepts RISC instructions for the GPU or DSP in Atari's
Jaguar custom chip set according to the "Jaguar Technical Reference Manual
for Tom & Jerry", Revision 8. Documentation bugs were fixed by using
various sources on the net.
The target address type is 32 bits.
Default alignment for instructions is 2 bytes.
Data is aligned to its natural alignment by default.
@section Optimizations
This backend performs the following optimizations and translations for
the GPU/DSP RISC instruction set:
@itemize @minus
@item @code{load (Rn+0),Rm} is optimized to @code{load (Rn),Rm}.
@item @code{store Rn,(Rm+0)} is optimized to @code{store Rn,(Rm)}.
@end itemize
@section Extensions
This backend extends the selected syntax module by the following
directives (note that a leading dot is optional):
@table @code
@item <symbol> ccdef <expression>
Allows defining a symbol for the condition codes used in @code{jump}
and @code{jr} instructions. Must be constant number in the range of
0 to 31 or another condition code symbol.
@item ccundef <symbol>
Undefine a condition code symbol previously defined via @code{ccdef}.
@item dsp
Select DSP instruction set.
@item <symbol> equr <Rn>
Define a new symbol named <symbol> and assign the address register
@code{Rn} to it. <Rn> may also be another register symbol.
Note that a register symbol must be defined before it can be used.
@item equrundef <symbol>
Undefine a register symbol previously defined via @code{equr}.
@item gpu
Select GPU instruction set.
@item <symbol> regequ <Rn>
Equivalent to @code{equr}.
@item regundef <symbol>
Undefine a register symbol previously defined via @code{regequ}.
@end table
All directives may be optionally preceded by a dot (@code{.}), for
compatibility with various syntax modules.
@section Known Problems
Some known problems of this module at the moment:
@itemize @minus
@item Encoding of @code{MOVEI} instruction in little-endian mode is unkown.
@item The developer has to provide the necessary @code{NOP} instructions
after jumps, or @code{OR} instructions to work around hardware bugs,
her/himself.

@section Error Messages
This module has the following error messages:
@itemize @minus
@item 2001: data size %d not supported
@item 2002: value from %ld to %ld required
