730Expressions
731===========
732
733An expression is evaluated to a 64-bit integer.
734Note that floating-point expressions are not supported.
735
736There are two kinds of expressions:
737
738* :ref:`Absolute<amdgpu_synid_absolute_expression>`.
739* :ref:`Relocatable<amdgpu_synid_relocatable_expression>`.
740
741.. _amdgpu_synid_absolute_expression:
742
743Absolute Expressions
744--------------------
745
746The value of an absolute expression does not change after program relocation.
747Absolute expressions must not include unassigned and relocatable values
748such as labels.
749
750Absolute expressions are evaluated to 64-bit integer values and converted to
751:ref:`expected operand type<amdgpu_syn_instruction_type>`
752as described :ref:`here<amdgpu_synid_int_conv>`.
753
754Examples:
755
756.. parsed-literal::
757
758    x = -1
759    y = x + 10
760
761.. _amdgpu_synid_relocatable_expression:
762
763Relocatable Expressions
764-----------------------
765
766The value of a relocatable expression depends on program relocation.
767
768Note that use of relocatable expressions is limited with branch targets
769and 32-bit integer operands.
770
771A relocatable expression is evaluated to a 64-bit integer value
772which depends on operand kind and :ref:`relocation type<amdgpu-relocation-records>`
773of symbol(s) used in the expression. For example, if an instruction refers a label,
774this reference is evaluated to an offset from the address after the instruction
775to the label address:
776
777.. parsed-literal::
778
779    label:
780    v_add_co_u32_e32 v0, vcc, label, v1  // 'label' operand is evaluated to -4
781
782Note that values of relocatable expressions are usually unknown at assembly time;
783they are resolved later by a linker and converted to
784:ref:`expected operand type<amdgpu_syn_instruction_type>`
785as described :ref:`here<amdgpu_synid_rl_conv>`.
786
787Operands and Operations
788-----------------------
789
790Expressions are composed of 64-bit integer operands and operations.
791Operands include :ref:`integer numbers<amdgpu_synid_integer_number>`
792and :ref:`symbols<amdgpu_synid_symbol>`.
793
794Expressions may also use "." which is a reference to the current PC (program counter).
795
796:ref:`Unary<amdgpu_synid_expression_un_op>` and :ref:`binary<amdgpu_synid_expression_bin_op>`
797operations produce 64-bit integer results.
798

926
927Instruction operands may be specified as 64-bit :ref:`integer numbers<amdgpu_synid_integer_number>` or
928:ref:`absolute expressions<amdgpu_synid_absolute_expression>`. These values are converted to
929the :ref:`expected operand type<amdgpu_syn_instruction_type>` using the following steps:
930
9311. *Validation*. Assembler checks if the input value may be truncated without loss to the required *truncation width*
932(see the table below). There are two cases when this operation is enabled:
933
934    * The truncated bits are all 0.
935    * The truncated bits are all 1 and the value after truncation has its MSB bit set.
936
937In all other cases assembler triggers an error.
938
9392. *Conversion*. The input value is converted to the expected type as described in the table below.
940Depending on operand kind, this conversion is performed by either assembler or AMDGPU H/W (or both).

1049Conversion of Relocatable Values
1050--------------------------------
1051
1052:ref:`Relocatable expressions<amdgpu_synid_relocatable_expression>`
1053may be used with 32-bit integer operands and jump targets.
1054
1055When the value of a relocatable expression is resolved by a linker, it is
1056converted as needed and truncated to the operand size. The conversion depends
1057on :ref:`relocation type<amdgpu-relocation-records>` and operand kind.
1058
1059For example, when a 32-bit operand of an instruction refers a relocatable expression *expr*,
1060this reference is evaluated to a 64-bit offset from the address after the
1061instruction to the address being referenced, *counted in bytes*.
1062Then the value is truncated to 32 bits and encoded as a literal:
1063
1064.. parsed-literal::
1065
1066    expr = .
1067    v_add_co_u32_e32 v0, vcc, expr, v1  // 'expr' operand is evaluated to -4
1068                                        // and then truncated to 0xFFFFFFFC
1069
1070As another example, when a branch instruction refers a label,
1071this reference is evaluated to an offset from the address after the
1072instruction to the label address, *counted in dwords*.
1073Then the value is truncated to 16 bits:
1074
1075.. parsed-literal::
1076
1077    label:
1078    s_branch label  // 'label' operand is evaluated to -1 and truncated to 0xFFFF
1079
