6.1.1 Assembly Instruction Deviations
The MPLAB XC8 assembler can use a slightly modified form of assembly language to that specified by the Microchip data sheets. This form is generally easier to read, but the form specified on the data sheet can also be used. The following information details allowable deviations to the instruction format as well as pseudo instructions that can be used in addition to the device instruction set.
These deviations can be used in assembly code in-line with C code or in hand-written assembly modules.
