Operands
========
.. _amdgpu_synid_v:
v (32-bit)
----------
Vector registers. There are 256 32-bit vector registers.
A sequence of *vector* registers may be used to operate with more than 32 bits of data.
Assembler currently supports tuples with 1 to 12, 16 and 32 *vector* registers.
=================================================== ====================================================================
Syntax Description
=================================================== ====================================================================
**v**\<N> A single 32-bit *vector* register.
*N* must be a decimal
:ref:`integer number<amdgpu_synid_integer_number>`.
**v[**\ <N>\ **]** A single 32-bit *vector* register.
*N* may be specified as an
:ref:`integer number<amdgpu_synid_integer_number>`
or an :ref:`absolute expression<amdgpu_synid_absolute_expression>`.
**v[**\ <N>:<K>\ **]** A sequence of (\ *K-N+1*\ ) *vector* registers.
*N* and *K* may be specified as
:ref:`integer numbers<amdgpu_synid_integer_number>`
or :ref:`absolute expressions<amdgpu_synid_absolute_expression>`.
**[v**\ <N>, \ **v**\ <N+1>, ... **v**\ <K>\ **]** A sequence of (\ *K-N+1*\ ) *vector* registers.
Register indices must be specified as decimal
:ref:`integer numbers<amdgpu_synid_integer_number>`.
=================================================== ====================================================================
Note: *N* and *K* must satisfy the following conditions:
* *N* <= *K*.
* 0 <= *N* <= 255.
* 0 <= *K* <= 255.
* *K-N+1* must be in the range from 1 to 12 or equal to 16 or 32.
GFX90A and GFX940 have an additional alignment requirement:
pairs of *vector* registers must be even-aligned
(first register must be even).
Examples:
.. parsed-literal::
v255
v[0]
v[0:1]
v[1:1]
v[0:3]
v[2*2]
v[1-1:2-1]
[v252]
[v252,v253,v254,v255]
.. _amdgpu_synid_nsa:
**Non-Sequential Address (NSA) Syntax**
GFX10+ *image* instructions may use special *NSA* (Non-Sequential Address)
syntax for *image addresses*:
===================================== =================================================
Syntax Description
===================================== =================================================
**[Vm**, \ **Vn**, ... **Vk**\ **]** A sequence of 32-bit *vector* registers.
Each register may be specified using the syntax
defined :ref:`above<amdgpu_synid_v>`.
In contrast with the standard syntax, registers
in *NSA* sequence are not required to have
consecutive indices. Moreover, the same register
may appear in the sequence more than once.
GFX11+ has an additional limitation: if address
size occupies more than 5 dwords, registers
starting from the 5th element must be contiguous.
===================================== =================================================
Examples:
.. parsed-literal::
[v32,v1,v[2]]
[v[32],v[1:1],[v2]]
[v4,v4,v4,v4]
.. _amdgpu_synid_v16:
v (16-bit)
----------
16-bit vector registers. Each :ref:`32-bit vector register<amdgpu_synid_v>` is divided into two 16-bit low and high registers, so there are 512 16-bit vector registers.
Only VOP3, VOP3P and VINTERP instructions may access all 512 registers (using :ref:`op_sel<amdgpu_synid_op_sel>` modifier).
VOP1, VOP2 and VOPC instructions may currently access only 128 low 16-bit registers using the syntax described below.
.. WARNING:: This section is incomplete. The support of 16-bit registers in the assembler is still WIP.

=================================================== ====================================================================
Syntax Description
=================================================== ====================================================================
**v**\<N> A single 16-bit *vector* register (low half).
=================================================== ====================================================================

.. _amdgpu_synid_expression:
Expressions
===========
An expression is evaluated to a 64-bit integer.
Note that floating-point expressions are not supported.
There are two kinds of expressions:
* :ref:`Absolute<amdgpu_synid_absolute_expression>`.
* :ref:`Relocatable<amdgpu_synid_relocatable_expression>`.
.. _amdgpu_synid_absolute_expression:
Absolute Expressions
--------------------
The value of an absolute expression does not change after program relocation.
Absolute expressions must not include unassigned and relocatable values
such as labels.
Absolute expressions are evaluated to 64-bit integer values and converted to
:ref:`expected operand type<amdgpu_syn_instruction_type>`
as described :ref:`here<amdgpu_synid_int_conv>`.
Examples:
.. parsed-literal::
x = -1
y = x + 10
.. _amdgpu_synid_relocatable_expression:
Relocatable Expressions
-----------------------
The value of a relocatable expression depends on program relocation.
Note that use of relocatable expressions is limited to branch targets
and 32-bit integer operands.
A relocatable expression is evaluated to a 64-bit integer value,
which depends on operand kind and
:ref:`relocation type<amdgpu-relocation-records>` of symbol(s)
used in the expression. For example, if an instruction refers to a label,
this reference is evaluated to an offset from the address after
the instruction to the label address:
.. parsed-literal::
label:
v_add_co_u32_e32 v0, vcc, label, v1 // 'label' operand is evaluated to -4
Note that values of relocatable expressions are usually unknown
at assembly time; they are resolved later by a linker and converted to
:ref:`expected operand type<amdgpu_syn_instruction_type>`
as described :ref:`here<amdgpu_synid_rl_conv>`.
Operands and Operations
-----------------------
Expressions are composed of 64-bit integer operands and operations.
Operands include :ref:`integer numbers<amdgpu_synid_integer_number>`
and :ref:`symbols<amdgpu_synid_symbol>`.
Expressions may also use "." which is a reference
to the current PC (program counter).
:ref:`Unary<amdgpu_synid_expression_un_op>` and
:ref:`binary<amdgpu_synid_expression_bin_op>`
operations produce 64-bit integer results.
Syntax of Expressions
---------------------
Syntax of expressions is shown below::
expr ::= expr binop expr | primaryexpr ;
primaryexpr ::= '(' expr ')' | symbol | number | '.' | unop primaryexpr ;
binop ::= '&&'
| '||'
| '|'
| '^'

Symbols
-------
A symbol is a named 64-bit integer value, representing a relocatable
address or an absolute (non-relocatable) number.
Symbol names have the following syntax:
``[a-zA-Z_.][a-zA-Z0-9_$.@]*``
The table below provides several examples of syntax used for symbol definition.
================ ==========================================================
Syntax Meaning
================ ==========================================================
.globl <S> Declares a global symbol S without assigning it a value.
.set <S>, <E> Assigns the value of an expression E to a symbol S.
<S> = <E> Assigns the value of an expression E to a symbol S.
<S>: Declares a label S and assigns it the current PC value.
================ ==========================================================
A symbol may be used before it is declared or assigned;
unassigned symbols are assumed to be PC-relative.
Additional information about symbols may be found :ref:`here<amdgpu-symbols>`.

Type and Size Conversion
========================
This section describes what happens when a 64-bit
:ref:`integer number<amdgpu_synid_integer_number>`, a
:ref:`floating-point number<amdgpu_synid_floating-point_number>` or an
:ref:`expression<amdgpu_synid_expression>`
is used for an operand which has a different type or size.
.. _amdgpu_synid_int_conv:
Conversion of Integer Values
----------------------------
Instruction operands may be specified as 64-bit
:ref:`integer numbers<amdgpu_synid_integer_number>` or
:ref:`absolute expressions<amdgpu_synid_absolute_expression>`.
These values are converted to the
:ref:`expected operand type<amdgpu_syn_instruction_type>`
using the following steps:
1. *Validation*. Assembler checks if the input value may be truncated
without loss to the required *truncation width* (see the table below).
There are two cases when this operation is enabled:
* The truncated bits are all 0.
* The truncated bits are all 1 and the value after truncation has its MSB bit set.
In all other cases, the assembler triggers an error.
2. *Conversion*. The input value is converted to the expected type
as described in the table below. Depending on operand kind, this conversion
is performed by either assembler or AMDGPU H/W (or both).

of the result; low 32 bits of the result are zeroed.

Conversion of Floating-Point Values
-----------------------------------
Instruction operands may be specified as 64-bit
:ref:`floating-point numbers<amdgpu_synid_floating-point_number>`.
These values are converted to the
:ref:`expected operand type<amdgpu_syn_instruction_type>`
using the following steps:
1. *Validation*. Assembler checks if the input f64 number can be converted
to the *required floating-point type* (see the table below) without overflow
or underflow. Precision lost is allowed. If this conversion is not possible,
the assembler triggers an error.
2. *Conversion*. The input value is converted to the expected type
as described in the table below. Depending on operand kind, this is
performed by either assembler or AMDGPU H/W (or both).

i16, u16, b16 f16 f16(num) Convert to f16 and use bits of the result as an integer value.

.. _amdgpu_synid_rl_conv:
Conversion of Relocatable Values
--------------------------------
:ref:`Relocatable expressions<amdgpu_synid_relocatable_expression>`
may be used with 32-bit integer operands and jump targets.
When the value of a relocatable expression is resolved by a linker, it is
converted as needed and truncated to the operand size. The conversion depends
on :ref:`relocation type<amdgpu-relocation-records>` and operand kind.
For example, when a 32-bit operand of an instruction refers
to a relocatable expression *expr*, this reference is evaluated
to a 64-bit offset from the address after the
instruction to the address being referenced, *counted in bytes*.
Then the value is truncated to 32 bits and encoded as a literal:
.. parsed-literal::
expr = .
v_add_co_u32_e32 v0, vcc, expr, v1 // 'expr' operand is evaluated to -4
// and then truncated to 0xFFFFFFFC
As another example, when a branch instruction refers to a label,
this reference is evaluated to an offset from the address after the
instruction to the label address, *counted in dwords*.
Then the value is truncated to 16 bits:
.. parsed-literal::
label:
s_branch label // 'label' operand is evaluated to -1 and truncated to 0xFFFF
