Re: PowerPC mnemonics

Hi,

could someone point me to a documentation of the GNU assembler
mnemonics for the PowerPC? I use a manual from Motorola, but the
mnemonics there seem incompatible to the GNU ones. (Sorry for being
slightly OT. Trying to read eCos startup code :-)



The actual instruction set mnemonics should match, I've certainly not noticed any differences.

Just a few quick examples: lwi, lis, li are not in the Motorola manual.
Vice versa I also tried some mnemonics from the Motorola manual, which GCC wouldn't accept.


The assembler directives will probably be
different, we tend to use the GCC standard ones rather than any that
are there for compatibility with manufacturers assemblers. The GCC
assembler directives should be described in the GCC documentation.
