PROCESSOR SPECIFIC DIRECTIVES

   The  ASRAB  assembler is a port of the ASZ80 assembler.  This
assembler can process Rabbit 2000/3000 (default), HD64180 (Z180),
and  Z80  code.   The  following  processor  specific  assembler
directives specify which processor to target when processing the
input assembler files.  


Format:  

        .r2k 

The  .r2k  directive  enables processing of the Rabbit 2000/3000
specific mnemonics.  Mnemonics not associated  with  the  Rabbit
2000/3000 processor will be flagged with an <o> error.  Address-
ing modes not supported by the Rabbit 2000/3000 will be  flagged
with  an <a> error.  A synonym of .r2k is .r3k.  The default as-
sembler mode is .r2k.  

     The  .r2k  directive  also  selects  the  Rabbit  2000/3000
specific cycles count output when the -c command line option  is
specified.  


Format:  

        .hd64 

The  .hd64  directive  enables  processing of the HD64180 (Z180)
specific mnemonics not included  in  the  Z80  instruction  set.
Rabbit  2000/3000  mnemonics encountered will be flagged with an
<o> error.  Addressing modes not supported by the HD64180 (Z180)
will be flagged with an <a> error.  A synonym of .hd64 is .z180.

     The  .hd64 directive also selects the HD64180/Z180 specific
cycles count output when the -c command line  option  is  speci-
fied.  


Format:  

        .z80 

The  .z80  directive  enables  processing  of  the  Z80 specific
mnemonics.  HD64180 and Rabbit 2000/3000 specific mnemonics will
be flagged with an <o> error.  Addressing modes not supported by
the z80 will be flagged with an <a> error.

     The  .z80  directive  also  selects the Z80 specific cycles
count to be output when. 


The .__.CPU.  Variable 

     The  value of the pre-defined symbol '.__.CPU.' corresponds
to the selected processor type.  The default value  is  0  which
corresponds  to the default processor type.  The following table
lists the processor types and associated values  for  the  ASRAB
assembler:  

        Processor Type            .__.CPU. Value
        --------------            --------------
         .r2k / .r3k                     0
        .hd64 / .z180                    1
            .z80                         2


     The  variable '.__.CPU.' is by default defined as local and
will not be output to the created .rel file.  The assembler com-
mand line options -g or -a will not cause the local symbol to be
output to the created .rel file.  

     The  assembler  .globl  directive may be used to change the
variable  type  to  global causing its definition  to be  output
to  the .rel file.  The inclusion of the definition of the vari-
able '.__.CPU.' might be  a  useful  means  of  validating  that
seperately  assembled files have been compiled for the same pro-
cessor type.  The linker will report an error for variables with
multiple non equal definitions.

Z80/HD64180 INSTRUCTION SYMBOLS

  The following list specifies the format for each Z80/HD64180
addressing mode supported by ASRAB:  

        #data           immediate data
                        byte or word data

        n               byte value

        rg              a byte register
                        a,b,c,d,e,h,l

        rp              a register pair
                        bc,de,hl

        (hl)            implied addressing or
                        register indirect addressing

        (label)         direct addressing

        (ix+offset)     indexed addressing with
         offset(ix)     an offset

        label           call/jmp/jr label


The  terms  data, n, label, and offset may all be expressions.

   Note  that  not all addressing modes are valid with every in-
struction, refer to the Z80/HD64180  technical  data  for  valid
modes.  

Z80/HD64180 INSTRUCTIONS

   The  following  tables  list all Z80/HD64180 mnemonics recog-
nized by the ASRAB assembler.  The designation []  refers  to  a
required addressing mode argument.
