There is an assumption here that labels created by you do not have
prepended underscores. This can be a problem if this isn't the case. The
solution may be to add a parallel set of macros that either do prepend
or do not. This is an open question which we hope to get user input to
resolve.
## Macros of general use ## Macros of general use
These macros don't converge Apple and Linux. They're just nice to have. First, we describe a number of macros which are the same on both Apple
and Linux. These macros don't converge Apple and Linux. They're just

Handy more readable macros for determining minima and maxima. Handy more readable macros for determining minima and maxima.
`MIN x0, x1, x2` Signature:
resolves to: `MIN src_a, src_b, dest`
`csel x2, x0, x1, GT` putting the minimum of `x0` and `x1` into `x2`. The smaller of `src_a` and `src_b` is put into `dest`.
Signature:
`MAX src_a, src_b, dest`
The larger of `src_a` and `src_b` is put into `dest`.
## Loads and Stores ## Loads and Stores
### GLD_PTR ### GLD_PTR

the label is in the global space and on Linux is a relatively close the label is in the global space and on Linux is a relatively close
label. label.
Apple version: Signature:
```text ```text
.macro GLD_PTR xreg, label // Dereference a global * GLD_PTR xreg, label
adrp \xreg, _\label@GOTPAGE
ldr \xreg, [\xreg, _\label@GOTPAGEOFF]
.endm
``` ```
Linux version: When this macro finishes, the specified x register contains what
64 bit value lives at the specified label.
### GLD_ADDR
Loads the address of the label into the specified x register. No
dereferencing takes place. On Apple machines, the label will be
found in the global space.
Signature:
```text ```text
.macro GLD_PTR xreg, label // Dereference a global * GLD_ADDR xreg, label
ldr \xreg, =\label
ldr \xreg, [\xreg]
.endm
``` ```
When this macro completes, the address of the label is in the x
register.
### LLD_ADDR ### LLD_ADDR
Load the value of a "local" label. Similar to `GLD_ADDR` this macro loads the address of a "local" label.
Apple version: Signature:
```text ```text
.macro LLD_ADDR xreg, label // Load a local address LLD_ADDR xreg, label
adrp \xreg, \label@PAGE
add \xreg, \xreg, \label@PAGEOFF
.endm
``` ```
Linux version: When this macro completes, the address of the label is in the x
register.
```text ### LLD_DBL
.macro LLD_ADDR xreg, label
ldr \xreg, =\label
.endm
```
## Extern a global label Signature:
`LLD_DBL xreg, dreg, label`
When this macro completes, a double that lives at the specified local
label will sit in the specified double register.
Note: No underscore is prepended.
See [this sample program](./double.S) for an example.
### LLD_FLT
Signature:
`LLD_FLT xreg, sreg, label`
When this macro completes, a float that lives at the specified
local label will sit in the specified single precision
register.
Note: No underscore is prepended.
See [this sample program](./float.S) for an example.
## Mark a label as global
Makes a label available externally. Makes a label available externally.
Apple version: Signature:
```text `GLABEL label`
.macro GLABEL label
.global _\label
.endm
```
Linux version: An underscore is prepended.
```text ## Calling CRT functions
.macro GLABEL label
.global \label
.endm
```
For example:
```text
GLABEL main
```
## Calling functions
If you create your own function without an underscore, just call it as If you create your own function without an underscore, just call it as
usual. usual.
If you need to call a function such as those found in the C runtime If you need to call a function such as those found in the C runtime
library, use in this way: library, use this macro in this way:
