noob question: ARM equivalents for Thumb opcodes

Note: This was originally posted on 15th September 2011 at http://forums.arm.com

Trying to get Google's VP8 ARM code working under WinCE, but would like to see how much faster things are with it's ARM ASM code. I am using ARMASM to process the .ASM files using the following switches:


ARMASM -32 -ARCH 6 FileName.asm


Most of the files compile fine except for some that involve transforms, namely: iwalsh_v6.asm, walsh_v6.asm, etc. Turns out that these are the most critical for any performances improvements to be gained.


When I compile these modules I seem to be getting the following errors:

Unknown opcode: ASRS ( i.e. asrs r6,r7, #16)

Unknown opcode: LSL ( i.e. lsl r3,r7,#16)

Unknown opcode: ASR (i.e. asr r2, r4, #3)

Unknown opcode: LSLS (i.e. lsls r6, r7, #16)


I really don't know much about ARM assembler yet, but am willing to take a stab at trying to convert these opcodes to regular ARM opcodes if at all possible.

Can the aforementioned opcodes be converted to regular ARM opcodes, or is this a waste of time.



Thanks.
