#### 3.17.35 V850 Options

These -m options are defined for V850 implementations:

`-mlong-calls`
`-mno-long-calls`
  Treat all calls as being far away (near). If calls are assumed to be far away, the compiler will always load the functions address up into a register, and call indirect through the pointer.
`-mno-ep`
`-mep`
  Do not optimize (do optimize) basic blocks that use the same index pointer 4 or more times to copy pointer into the `ep` register, and use the shorter `sld` and `sst` instructions. The -mep option is on by default if you optimize.
`-mno-prolog-function`
`-mprolog-function`
  Do not use (do use) external functions to save and restore registers at the prologue and epilogue of a function. The external functions are slower, but use less code space if more than one function saves the same number of registers. The -mprolog-function option is on by default if you optimize.
`-mspace`
  Try to make the code as small as possible. At present, this just turns on the -mep and -mprolog-function options.
`-mtda=`n
  Put static or global variables whose size is n bytes or less into the tiny data area that register `ep` points to. The tiny data area can hold up to 256 bytes in total (128 bytes for byte references).
`-msda=`n
  Put static or global variables whose size is n bytes or less into the small data area that register `gp` points to. The small data area can hold up to 64 kilobytes.
`-mzda=`n
  Put static or global variables whose size is n bytes or less into the first 32 kilobytes of memory.
`-mv850`
  Specify that the target processor is the V850.
`-mbig-switch`
  Generate code suitable for big switch tables. Use this option only if the assembler/linker complain about out of range branches within a switch table.
`-mapp-regs`
  This option will cause r2 and r5 to be used in the code generated by the compiler. This setting is the default.
`-mno-app-regs`
  This option will cause r2 and r5 to be treated as fixed registers.
`-mv850e1`
  Specify that the target processor is the V850E1. The preprocessor constants __v850e1__ and __v850e__ will be defined if this option is used.
`-mv850e`
  Specify that the target processor is the V850E. The preprocessor constant __v850e__ will be defined if this option is used.

  If neither -mv850 nor -mv850e nor -mv850e1 are defined then a default target processor will be chosen and the relevant __v850*__ preprocessor constant will be defined.

  The preprocessor constants __v850 and __v851__ are always defined, regardless of which processor variant is the target.

`-mdisable-callt`
  This option will suppress generation of the CALLT instruction for the v850e and v850e1 flavors of the v850 architecture. The default is -mno-disable-callt which allows the CALLT instruction to be used.
