Subject: PowerPC assembler question
Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2013 09:01:05 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130610090105.fc7ec3f67d0f55cea97283e0@mega-nerd.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I'm trying to fix a problem in the PowerPC backend of the Glasgow
Haskell Compiler (GHC) and have a problem with the following
instruction form:

    lwz     30, .label - (1b)(31)

Reading the documentation I could find, I have figured out that this
loads a 16 bit value into register 30. How it calculates that 16 bit
value has got me somewhat flumoxed.

Anybody care to explain?

Cheers,
Erik
