4.9 ARM pseudo-instructions
The ARM assembler supports a number of pseudo-instructions that are translated into
the appropriate combination of ARM or Thumb instructions at assembly time.
The pseudo-instructions available in ARM state are described in the following sections:
• ADR ARM pseudo-instruction on page 4-79
Load a program-relative or register-relative address (short range)
• ADRL ARM pseudo-instruction on page 4-80
Load a program-relative or register-relative address into a register (medium
range)
• LDR ARM pseudo-instruction on page 4-82
Load a register with a 32-bit constant value or an address (unlimited range)
• NOP ARM pseudo-instruction on page 4-84
NOP generates the preferred ARM no-operation code.
