Instruction width specifiers
The instruction width specifiers .W and .N control the size of T32 instruction encodings.
In T32 code the .W width specifier
forces the assembler to generate a 32-bit encoding, even if a 16-bit encoding is
available. The .W specifier has no effect when assembling
to A32 code.
In T32 code the .N width specifier
forces the assembler to generate a 16-bit encoding. In this case, if the instruction
cannot be encoded in 16 bits or if .N is used in A32
code, the assembler generates an error.
If you use an instruction width specifier, you must place it immediately after the instruction mnemonic and any condition code, for example:
BCS.W label ; forces 32-bit instruction even for a short branch B.N label ; faults if label out of range for 16-bit instruction
