Assembler Macros

macroDescriptionOperation
%lo(immed32) Extract bits [15..0] of immed32 immed32 & 0xffff
%hi(immed32) Extract bits [31..16] of immed32 (immed32 >> 16) & 0xffff
%hiadj(immed32) Extract bits [31..16] and adds bit 15 of immed32 (immed32 >> 16) + 0xffff +
((immed32 >> 15) & 0x1)
%gprel(immed32) Replace the immed32 address with an offset
from the global pointer (1)
