{CONFIG} |
Has the value 32 if the assembler is in 32-bit program counter mode, and the value 26 if it is in 26-bit mode. |
{ENDIAN} |
Has the value "big" if the assembler is in big-endian mode and the value "little" if it is in little-endian mode. |
{CODESIZE} |
Has the value 16 if compiling Thumb code. Otherwise, it is 32. |
