-m4-340
Generate code for SH4-340 (no MMU, no FPU).
-m4-500
Generate code for SH4-500 (no FPU). Passes -isa=sh4-nofpu to the assembler.
-m4a-nofpu
Generate code for the SH4al-dsp, or for a SH4a in such a way that the floating-point unit is not used.
-m4a-single-only
Generate code for the SH4a, in such a way that no double-precision floating-point operations are used.
-m4a-single
Generate code for the SH4a assuming the floating-point unit is in single-precision mode by default.
-m4a
Generate code for the SH4a.
-m4al
Same as -m4a-nofpu, except that it implicitly passes -dsp to the assembler. GCC doesn’t generate any DSP instructions at the moment.
-mb
Compile code for the processor in big-endian mode.
-ml
Compile code for the processor in little-endian mode.
-mdalign
Align doubles at 64-bit boundaries. Note that this changes the calling conventions, and thus some functions from the standard C library do not work unless you recompile it first with -mdalign.
-mrelax
Shorten some address references at link time, when possible; uses the linker option -relax.
-mbigtable
Use 32-bit offsets in switch tables. The default is to use
16-bit offsets.
-mbitops
Enable the use of bit manipulation instructions on SH2A.
-mfmovd
Enable the use of the instruction fmovd. Check -mdalign for
alignment constraints.
-mrenesas
Comply with the calling conventions defined by Renesas.
-mno-renesas
Comply with the calling conventions defined for GCC before the Renesas conventions were available. This option is the default for all targets of the SH toolchain.
-mnomacsave
Mark the MAC register as call-clobbered, even if
-mrenesas is given.
-mieee
-mno-ieee
Control the IEEE compliance of floating-point comparisons, which affects the handling of cases where the result of a comparison is unordered. By default -mieee is implicitly enabled. If -ffinite-math-only is enabled -mno-ieee is implicitly set, which results in faster floating-point greater-equal and less-equal comparisons. The implicit settings can be overridden by specifying either -mieee or -mno-ieee.
-minline-ic_invalidate
Inline code to invalidate instruction cache entries after setting up
nested function trampolines.
This option has no effect if -musermode is in effect and the selected
code generation option (e.g. -m4) does not allow the use of the icbi
instruction.
If the selected code generation option does not allow the use of the icbi
instruction, and -musermode is not in effect, the inlined code
manipulates the instruction cache address array directly with an associative
write. This not only requires privileged mode at run time, but it also
fails if the cache line had been mapped via the TLB and has become unmapped.
-misize
Dump instruction size and location in the assembly code.
-mpadstruct
This option is deprecated. It pads structures to multiple of 4 bytes, which is incompatible with the SH ABI.
-matomic-model=model
Sets the model of atomic operations and additional parameters as a comma separated list. For details on the atomic built-in functions see __atomic Builtins. The following models and parameters are supported:
Disable compiler generated atomic sequences and emit library calls for atomic
operations. This is the default if the target is not sh*-*-linux*.
Generate GNU/Linux compatible gUSA software atomic sequences for the atomic
built-in functions. The generated atomic sequences require additional support
from the interrupt/exception handling code of the system and are only suitable
for SH3* and SH4* single-core systems. This option is enabled by default when
the target is sh*-*-linux* and SH3* or SH4*. When the target is SH4A,
this option also partially utilizes the hardware atomic instructions
movli.l and movco.l to create more efficient code, unless
‘strict’ is specified.
Generate software atomic sequences that use a variable in the thread control block. This is a variation of the gUSA sequences which can also be used on SH1* and SH2* targets. The generated atomic sequences require additional support from the interrupt/exception handling code of the system and are only suitable for single-core systems. When using this model, the ‘gbr-offset=’ parameter has to be specified as well.
Generate software atomic sequences that temporarily disable interrupts by
setting SR.IMASK = 1111. This model works only when the program runs
in privileged mode and is only suitable for single-core systems. Additional
support from the interrupt/exception handling code of the system is not
required. This model is enabled by default when the target is
sh*-*-linux* and SH1* or SH2*.
Generate hardware atomic sequences using the movli.l and movco.l
instructions only. This is only available on SH4A and is suitable for
multi-core systems. Since the hardware instructions support only 32 bit atomic
variables access to 8 or 16 bit variables is emulated with 32 bit accesses.
Code compiled with this option is also compatible with other software
atomic model interrupt/exception handling systems if executed on an SH4A
system. Additional support from the interrupt/exception handling code of the
system is not required for this model.
This parameter specifies the offset in bytes of the variable in the thread control block structure that should be used by the generated atomic sequences when the ‘soft-tcb’ model has been selected. For other models this parameter is ignored. The specified value must be an integer multiple of four and in the range 0-1020.
This parameter prevents mixed usage of multiple atomic models, even if they are compatible, and makes the compiler generate atomic sequences of the specified model only.
-mtas
Generate the tas.b opcode for __atomic_test_and_set.
Notice that depending on the particular hardware and software configuration
this can degrade overall performance due to the operand cache line flushes
that are implied by the tas.b instruction. On multi-core SH4A
processors the tas.b instruction must be used with caution since it
can result in data corruption for certain cache configurations.
-mprefergot
When generating position-independent code, emit function calls using the Global Offset Table instead of the Procedure Linkage Table.
-musermode
-mno-usermode
Don’t allow (allow) the compiler generating privileged mode code. Specifying
-musermode also implies -mno-inline-ic_invalidate if the
inlined code would not work in user mode. -musermode is the default
when the target is sh*-*-linux*. If the target is SH1* or SH2*
-musermode has no effect, since there is no user mode.
-multcost=number
Set the cost to assume for a multiply insn.
-mdiv=strategy
Set the division strategy to be used for integer division operations. strategy can be one of:
Calls a library function that uses the single-step division instruction
div1 to perform the operation. Division by zero calculates an
unspecified result and does not trap. This is the default except for SH4,
SH2A and SHcompact.
Calls a library function that performs the operation in double precision
floating point. Division by zero causes a floating-point exception. This is
the default for SHcompact with FPU. Specifying this for targets that do not
have a double precision FPU defaults to call-div1.
Calls a library function that uses a lookup table for small divisors and
the div1 instruction with case distinction for larger divisors. Division
by zero calculates an unspecified result and does not trap. This is the default
for SH4. Specifying this for targets that do not have dynamic shift
instructions defaults to call-div1.
When a division strategy has not been specified the default strategy is
selected based on the current target. For SH2A the default strategy is to
use the divs and divu instructions instead of library function
calls.
-maccumulate-outgoing-args
Reserve space once for outgoing arguments in the function prologue rather than around each call. Generally beneficial for performance and size. Also needed for unwinding to avoid changing the stack frame around conditional code.
-mdivsi3_libfunc=name
Set the name of the library function used for 32-bit signed division to name. This only affects the name used in the ‘call’ division strategies, and the compiler still expects the same sets of input/output/clobbered registers as if this option were not present.
-mfixed-range=register-range
Generate code treating the given register range as fixed registers. A fixed register is one that the register allocator can not use. This is useful when compiling kernel code. A register range is specified as two registers separated by a dash. Multiple register ranges can be specified separated by a comma.
-mbranch-cost=num
Assume num to be the cost for a branch instruction. Higher numbers make the compiler try to generate more branch-free code if possible. If not specified the value is selected depending on the processor type that is being compiled for.
-mzdcbranch
-mno-zdcbranch
Assume (do not assume) that zero displacement conditional branch instructions
bt and bf are fast. If -mzdcbranch is specified, the
compiler prefers zero displacement branch code sequences. This is
enabled by default when generating code for SH4 and SH4A. It can be explicitly
disabled by specifying -mno-zdcbranch.
-mcbranch-force-delay-slot
Force the usage of delay slots for conditional branches, which stuffs the delay
slot with a nop if a suitable instruction cannot be found. By default
this option is disabled. It can be enabled to work around hardware bugs as
found in the original SH7055.
-mfused-madd
-mno-fused-madd
Generate code that uses (does not use) the floating-point multiply and accumulate instructions. These instructions are generated by default if hardware floating point is used. The machine-dependent -mfused-madd option is now mapped to the machine-independent -ffp-contract=fast option, and -mno-fused-madd is mapped to -ffp-contract=off.
-mfsca
-mno-fsca
Allow or disallow the compiler to emit the fsca instruction for sine
and cosine approximations. The option -mfsca must be used in
combination with -funsafe-math-optimizations. It is enabled by default
when generating code for SH4A. Using -mno-fsca disables sine and cosine
approximations even if -funsafe-math-optimizations is in effect.
-mfsrra
-mno-fsrra
Allow or disallow the compiler to emit the fsrra instruction for
reciprocal square root approximations. The option -mfsrra must be used
in combination with -funsafe-math-optimizations and
-ffinite-math-only. It is enabled by default when generating code for
SH4A. Using -mno-fsrra disables reciprocal square root approximations
even if -funsafe-math-optimizations and -ffinite-math-only are
in effect.
-mpretend-cmove
Prefer zero-displacement conditional branches for conditional move instruction patterns. This can result in faster code on the SH4 processor.
-mfdpic
Generate code using the FDPIC ABI.
