Machine dependent features

The machine instruction sets are (almost by definition) different on each machine where as runs. Floating point representations vary as well, and as often supports a few additional directives or command-line options for compatibility with other assemblers on a particular platform. Finally, some versions of as support special pseudo-instructions for branch optimization. For details on particular architectures, see the hardware manufacturer’s manual.

The following documentation discusses the assembler directives and machine dependent features regarding the following supported architectures.

- AMD 29K dependent features

- Hitachi H8/300 dependent features
- Hitachi H8/500 dependent features
- Hitachi SH dependent features
- HPPA dependent features
- Intel 960 dependent features
- M680x0 dependent features
- MIPS dependent features
- SPARC dependent features
- VAX dependent features
- Z8000 dependent features
