Hello,
I am porting inline asm code from Arm compiler 5 to 6.11 version, but after compilation I got the error: branch target out of range. My original code:
static inline signed short MLIB_AbsSat_F16_FAsmi(register signed short f16Val){ __asm volatile{ lsls f16Val, f16Val, #16 /* f16Val << 16 */ bpl AbsEnd /* If f16Val >= 0, then goes to AbsEnd */ rsbs f16Val, f16Val, #0 /* If f16Val < 0, then f16Val = 0 - f16Val */ bpl AbsEnd /* If f16Val >= 0, then goes to AbsEnd */ subs f16Val, f16Val, #1 /* If f16Val == 0xFFFF8000, f16Val = f16Val - 1 */ AbsEnd: lsrs f16Val, f16Val, #16}; /* f16Val >> 16 */
return f16Val;}
my ported code is:
static inline signed short MLIB_AbsSat_F16_FAsmi(register signed short f16Val){ __asm volatile( "lsls %0, %0, #16 \n\t" /* f16Val << 16 */ "bpl .+8 \n\t" /* If f16Val >= 0, then jumps through three commands */ "rsbs %0, %0, #0 \n\t" /* If f16Val < 0, then f16Val = 0 - f16Val */ "bpl .+4 \n\t" /* If f16Val >= 0, then jumps through next command */ "subs %0, %0, #1 \n\t" /* If f16Val = 0x80000000, f16Val = 0x7FFFFFFF */ "lsrs %0, %0, #16 \n\t" /* f16Val >> 16 */ : "=r" (f16Val)); return f16Val;}
Probably there is incorrect syntax in branch instruction I suppose. Could you explain what is not correct ?
Thanks.
