##### 8.22.3.3 Register names

Local and global registers are specified as $0 to $255. The recognized special register names are rJ, rA, rB, rC, rD, rE, rF, rG, rH, rI, rK, rL, rM, rN, rO, rP, rQ, rR, rS, rT, rU, rV, rW, rX, rY, rZ, rBB, rTT, rWW, rXX, rYY and rZZ. A leading : is optional for special register names.

Local and global symbols can be equated to register names and used in place of ordinary registers.

Similarly for special registers, local and global symbols can be used. Also, symbols equated from numbers and constant expressions are allowed in place of a special register, except when either of the options `--no-predefined-syms` and `--fixed-special-register-names` are specified. Then only the special register names above are allowed for the instructions having a special register operand; `GET` and `PUT`.
