#### 9.5.2.3 Relocatable Expression Modifiers

The assembler supports several modifiers when using relocatable addresses in AVR instruction operands. The general syntax is the following:

    modifier(relocatable-expression)

`lo8`

  This modifier allows you to use bits 0 through 7 of an address expression as 8 bit relocatable expression.

`hi8`

  This modifier allows you to use bits 7 through 15 of an address expression as 8 bit relocatable expression. This is useful with, for example, the AVR ‘`ldi`’ instruction and ‘`lo8`’ modifier.

  For example

      ldi r26, lo8(sym+10)
      ldi r27, hi8(sym+10)

`hh8`

  This modifier allows you to use bits 16 through 23 of an address expression as 8 bit relocatable expression. Also, can be useful for loading 32 bit constants.

`hlo8`

  Synonym of ‘`hh8`’.

`hhi8`

  This modifier allows you to use bits 24 through 31 of an expression as 8 bit expression. This is useful with, for example, the AVR ‘`ldi`’ instruction and ‘`lo8`’, ‘`hi8`’, ‘`hlo8`’, ‘`hhi8`’, modifier.

  For example

      ldi r26, lo8(285774925)
      ldi r27, hi8(285774925)
      ldi r28, hlo8(285774925)
      ldi r29, hhi8(285774925)
      ; r29,r28,r27,r26 = 285774925

`pm_lo8`

  This modifier allows you to use bits 0 through 7 of an address expression as 8 bit relocatable expression. This modifier useful for addressing data or code from Flash/Program memory. The using of ‘`pm_lo8`’ similar to ‘`lo8`’.

`pm_hi8`

  This modifier allows you to use bits 8 through 15 of an address expression as 8 bit relocatable expression. This modifier useful for addressing data or code from Flash/Program memory.

`pm_hh8`

  This modifier allows you to use bits 15 through 23 of an address expression as 8 bit relocatable expression. This modifier useful for addressing data or code from Flash/Program memory.
