ARM Assembler Command-Line Options
The syntax of a command to invoke the ARM assembler is as follows:
armasm {options} sourcefile objectfile
The following table shows command-line options for the ARM assembler.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| -archarchitecture | Sets the target architecture. Legitimate values are 4, 4T, 5 and 5T. Some microprocessor-specific instructions produce either errors or warnings if assembled for the wrong target architecture. |
| -checkreglist | Checks LDM and STM register lists to ensure that register number order is increasing. If not, a warning is given. You can use -checkreglist to detect misuse of symbolic register names. |
| -cpuARMcore | Sets the target ARM core. Legitimate values include the following:
Some microprocessor-specific instructions produce warnings if assembled for the wrong ARM core. |
| -errorserrorfile | Outputs error messages to errorfile. |
| -help | Displays a summary of the command-line options. |
| -idir{,dir} | Specifies directories to include. Directories can also be specified by using the INCLUDE environment variable. |
| -listlistingfile-noterse | Turns the terse flag off. When the terse flag is on, lines skipped due to conditional assembly do not appear in the listing. With the terse flag off, these lines appear in the listing. The default is on. |
| -listlistingfile-widthn | Sets the listing page width. Default is 79 characters. |
| -listlistingfile-lengthn | Sets the listing page length. Length 0 means an unpaged listing. Default is 66 lines. |
| -listlistingfile-xref | Lists cross-referencing information on symbols. Provides definition location and usage location both inside and outside of macros. The default is off. |
| -noesc | Ignores C-style special characters (\n, \t, and so on). |
| -noregs | Tells the assembler not to predefine implicit register names r0–r15, a1–a4, v1–v6, c0–c15, p0–p15, sl, fp, ip, sp, lr, pc. |
| -nowarn | Turns off warning messages. |
| -predefine "directive" | Pre-executes a SETx directive. This implicitly executes a corresponding GBLx directive. Because it contains spaces, place the full SETx argument in quotation marks. For example: - predefine "Version SETA 44" |
| -Viafile | Opens file and reads in more armasm command-line arguments. |
