M680x0 Options
--------------
These are the `-m' options defined for the 68000 series. The default
values for these options depends on which style of 68000 was selected
when the compiler was configured; the defaults for the most common
choices are given below.
`-m68000'
`-mc68000'
Generate output for a 68000. This is the default when the
compiler is configured for 68000-based systems.
`-m68020'
`-mc68020'
Generate output for a 68020. This is the default when the
compiler is configured for 68020-based systems.
`-m68881'
Generate output containing 68881 instructions for floating point.
This is the default for most 68020 systems unless `-nfp' was
specified when the compiler was configured.
`-m68030'
Generate output for a 68030. This is the default when the
compiler is configured for 68030-based systems.
`-m68040'
Generate output for a 68040. This is the default when the
compiler is configured for 68040-based systems.
This option inhibits the use of 68881/68882 instructions that have
to be emulated by software on the 68040. If your 68040 does not
have code to emulate those instructions, use `-m68040'.
`-m68020-40'
Generate output for a 68040, without using any of the new
instructions. This results in code which can run relatively
efficiently on either a 68020/68881 or a 68030 or a 68040. The
generated code does use the 68881 instructions that are emulated
on the 68040.
`-mfpa'
Generate output containing Sun FPA instructions for floating point.
`-msoft-float'
Generate output containing library calls for floating point.
*Warning:* the requisite libraries are not available for all m68k
targets. Normally the facilities of the machine's usual C
compiler are used, but this can't be done directly in
cross-compilation. You must make your own arrangements to provide
suitable library functions for cross-compilation. The embedded
targets `m68k-*-aout' and `m68k-*-coff' do provide software
floating point support.
`-mshort'
Consider type `int' to be 16 bits wide, like `short int'.
`-mnobitfield'
Do not use the bit-field instructions. The `-m68000' option
implies `-mnobitfield'.
`-mbitfield'
Do use the bit-field instructions. The `-m68020' option implies
`-mbitfield'. This is the default if you use a configuration
designed for a 68020.
`-mrtd'
Use a different function-calling convention, in which functions
that take a fixed number of arguments return with the `rtd'
instruction, which pops their arguments while returning. This
saves one instruction in the caller since there is no need to pop
the arguments there.
This calling convention is incompatible with the one normally used
on Unix, so you cannot use it if you need to call libraries
compiled with the Unix compiler.
Also, you must provide function prototypes for all functions that
take variable numbers of arguments (including `printf'); otherwise
incorrect code will be generated for calls to those functions.
In addition, seriously incorrect code will result if you call a
function with too many arguments. (Normally, extra arguments are
harmlessly ignored.)
The `rtd' instruction is supported by the 68010 and 68020
processors, but not by the 68000.
