  1. What is PC-relative addressing and how can I use it in MASM?

    Aug 26, 2013 · 5 Many processors support PC-Relative or Absolute addressing. On X86 machines however there is the following restriction: Jumps and Calls are always PC-Relative (unless register …

  2. assembly - RISC-V: PC Absolute vs PC Relative - Stack Overflow

    Sep 30, 2018 · I think the issue you're having is this concept of "PC-absolute", which isn't actually a thing. Your options are "PC relative" and "absolute". RISC-V defines two addressing instructions that …

  3. Absolute addressing using PC-relative addressing in a relocatable ...

    Feb 1, 2020 · PC-relative addressing gives you Position Independent Code, assuming code and data are loaded at the same relative distance no matter where.

  4. RISCV - How are jump instructions PC-relative? - Stack Overflow

    In the RISC-V Unpriviliged spec V20191213, the following is stated, (page 21) The unconditional jump instructions all use PC-relative addressing to help support position-independent code. Looki...

  5. Howto write PC relative adressing on arm asm? - Stack Overflow

    Feb 21, 2015 · I'm using GNU AS as assembler and I'm trying to write a position independent binary and I have some problems writing the PC relative address of an external symbols. Normaly a relative …

  6. mips - Assembly PC Relative Addressing Mode - Stack Overflow

    Oct 18, 2016 · If PC 128 actually refers to 128 bits, so 32 bytes, then why do we only add 4 to it to get to the next instruction? When it says PC+4, does this actually mean adding 4 bytes? My basic issue is …

  7. PC-relative addressing on an assembly-like language compiler

    I'm currently writing a compiler for a custom asm-like programming language and I'm really confused on how to do proper PC-relative addressing for data labels. main LDA RA hello IPT #32...

  8. assembly - PC relative addressing in MIPS - Stack Overflow

    Sep 7, 2021 · from what I have learnt about PC relative addressing in MIPs, we're supposed to count from PC + 4 to calculate the number of jumps needed in a beq or bne operation.

  9. Trying to understand how jump instruction calculate the address when ...

    The 13-bit immediate is used in a pc-relative addressing mode, so when the conditional branch is taken, the hardware computes: pc' := pc + signExtend(immediate12 ## 0) where pc' is the next pc, and ## …

  10. Why does the ARM PC register point to the instruction after the next ...

    Since most PC-relative addresses are calculated at link time, it's easier to have the assembler/linker compensate for that 2-instruction offset than to design all the logic to 'correct' the PC register. Of …
