.. _amdgpu_synid_literal:

literal
-------

A literal is a 64-bit value which is encoded as a separate 32-bit dword in the instruction stream.

If a number may be encoded as either
a :ref:`literal<amdgpu_synid_literal>` or 
an :ref:`inline constant<amdgpu_synid_constant>`,
assembler selects the latter encoding as more efficient.

Literals may be specified as :ref:`integer numbers<amdgpu_synid_integer_number>`,
:ref:`floating-point numbers<amdgpu_synid_floating-point_number>` or
:ref:`expressions<amdgpu_synid_expression>`
(expressions are currently supported for 32-bit operands only).

A 64-bit literal value is converted by assembler
to an :ref:`expected operand type<amdgpu_syn_instruction_type>`
as described :ref:`here<amdgpu_synid_lit_conv>`.

.. _amdgpu_synid_integer_number:

Integer Numbers
---------------

Integer numbers are 64 bits wide.
They may be specified in binary, octal, hexadecimal and decimal formats:

    ============== ====================================
    Format         Syntax
    ============== ====================================
    Decimal        [-]?[1-9][0-9]*
    Binary         [-]?0b[01]+

.. _amdgpu_synid_expression:

Expressions
===========

An expression specifies an address or a numeric value.
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 remains the same after program relocation.
Absolute expressions must not include unassigned and relocatable values
such as labels.

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 with branch targets
and 32-bit :ref:`literals<amdgpu_synid_literal>`.

Addition information about relocation may be found :ref:`here<amdgpu-relocation-records>`.

Examples:

.. parsed-literal::

    y = x + 10 // x is not yet defined. Undefined symbols are assumed to be PC-relative.
    z = .

Expression Data Type
--------------------

Expressions and operands of expressions are interpreted as 64-bit integers.

Expressions may include 64-bit :ref:`floating-point numbers<amdgpu_synid_floating-point_number>` (double).
However these operands are also handled as 64-bit integers
using binary representation of specified floating-point numbers.
No conversion from floating-point to integer is performed.

Examples:

.. parsed-literal::

    x = 0.1    // x is assigned an integer 4591870180066957722 which is a binary representation of 0.1.
    y = x + x  // y is a sum of two integer values; it is not equal to 0.2!

Syntax
------

Expressions are composed of
:ref:`symbols<amdgpu_synid_symbol>`,
:ref:`integer numbers<amdgpu_synid_integer_number>`,
:ref:`floating-point numbers<amdgpu_synid_floating-point_number>`,
:ref:`binary operators<amdgpu_synid_expression_bin_op>`,
:ref:`unary operators<amdgpu_synid_expression_un_op>` and subexpressions.

Expressions may also use "." which is a reference to the current PC (program counter).

The syntax of expressions is shown below::

    expr ::= expr binop expr | primaryexpr ;

    primaryexpr ::= '(' expr ')' | symbol | number | '.' | unop primaryexpr ;

    binop ::= '&&'
            | '||'
            | '|'
            | '^'
            | '&'
            | '!'
            | '=='
            | '!='
            | '<>'
            | '<'
            | '<='
            | '>'
            | '>='
            | '<<'
            | '>>'
            | '+'
            | '-'
            | '*'
            | '/'
            | '%' ;

    unop ::= '~'
           | '+'
           | '-'
           | '!' ;

.. _amdgpu_synid_symbol:

Symbols
-------

A symbol is a named 64-bit 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.

Addition information about symbols may be found :ref:`here<amdgpu-symbols>`.

.. _amdgpu_synid_conv:

Conversions
===========

This section describes what happens when a 64-bit
:ref:`integer number<amdgpu_synid_integer_number>`, a
:ref:`floating-point numbers<amdgpu_synid_floating-point_number>` or a
:ref:`symbol<amdgpu_synid_symbol>`
is used for an operand which has a different type or size.

Depending on operand kind, this conversion is performed by either assembler or AMDGPU H/W:

* Values encoded as :ref:`inline constants<amdgpu_synid_constant>` are handled by H/W.
* Values encoded as :ref:`literals<amdgpu_synid_literal>` are converted by assembler.

.. _amdgpu_synid_const_conv:

Inline Constants
----------------

.. _amdgpu_synid_int_const_conv:

Integer Inline Constants
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Integer :ref:`inline constants<amdgpu_synid_constant>`
may be thought of as 64-bit
:ref:`integer numbers<amdgpu_synid_integer_number>`;
when used as operands they are truncated to the size of
:ref:`expected operand type<amdgpu_syn_instruction_type>`.
No data type conversions are performed.

Examples:

.. parsed-literal::

    // GFX9

    v_add_u16 v0, -1, 0    // v0 = 0xFFFF
    v_add_f16 v0, -1, 0    // v0 = 0xFFFF (NaN)

    v_add_u32 v0, -1, 0    // v0 = 0xFFFFFFFF
    v_add_f32 v0, -1, 0    // v0 = 0xFFFFFFFF (NaN)

.. _amdgpu_synid_fp_const_conv:

Floating-Point Inline Constants
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Floating-point :ref:`inline constants<amdgpu_synid_constant>`
may be thought of as 64-bit
:ref:`floating-point numbers<amdgpu_synid_floating-point_number>`;
when used as operands they are converted to a floating-point number of
:ref:`expected operand size<amdgpu_syn_instruction_type>`.

Examples:

.. parsed-literal::

    // GFX9

    v_add_f16 v0, 1.0, 0    // v0 = 0x3C00 (1.0)
    v_add_u16 v0, 1.0, 0    // v0 = 0x3C00

    v_add_f32 v0, 1.0, 0    // v0 = 0x3F800000 (1.0)
    v_add_u32 v0, 1.0, 0    // v0 = 0x3F800000

Literals
--------

.. _amdgpu_synid_int_lit_conv:

Integer Literals
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Integer :ref:`literals<amdgpu_synid_literal>`
are specified as 64-bit :ref:`integer numbers<amdgpu_synid_integer_number>`.

When used as operands they are converted to
:ref:`expected operand type<amdgpu_syn_instruction_type>` as described below.

    ============== ============== =============== ====================================================================
    Expected type  Condition      Result          Note
    ============== ============== =============== ====================================================================
    i16, u16, b16  cond(num,16)   num.u16         Truncate to 16 bits.
    i32, u32, b32  cond(num,32)   num.u32         Truncate to 32 bits.
    i64            cond(num,32)   {-1,num.i32}    Truncate to 32 bits and then sign-extend the result to 64 bits.
    u64, b64       cond(num,32)   { 0,num.u32}    Truncate to 32 bits and then zero-extend the result to 64 bits.
    f16            cond(num,16)   num.u16         Use low 16 bits as an f16 value.
    f32            cond(num,32)   num.u32         Use low 32 bits as an f32 value.
    f64            cond(num,32)   {num.u32,0}     Use low 32 bits of the number as high 32 bits
                                                  of the result; low 32 bits of the result are zeroed.
    ============== ============== =============== ====================================================================

The condition *cond(X,S)* indicates if a 64-bit number *X*
can be converted to a smaller size *S* by truncation of upper bits.
There are two cases when the conversion is possible:

* The truncated bits are all 0.
* The truncated bits are all 1 and the value after truncation has its MSB bit set.

Examples of valid literals:

The condition *cond(X,S)* indicates if an f64 number *X* can be converted
to a smaller *S*-bit floating-point type without overflow or underflow.
Precision lost is allowed.

Expressions
~~~~~~~~~~~

Expressions operate with and result in 64-bit integers.

When used as operands they are truncated to
:ref:`expected operand size<amdgpu_syn_instruction_type>`.
No data type conversions are performed.

Examples:

.. parsed-literal::

    // GFX9

    x = 0.1
    v_sqrt_f32 v0, x           // v0 = [low 32 bits of 0.1 (double)]
    v_sqrt_f32 v0, (0.1 + 0)   // the same as above
    v_sqrt_f32 v0, 0.1         // v0 = [0.1 (double) converted to float]
