[avr-gcc-list] hi8, lo8, hh8 etc?

[Per Arnold Blåsmo]

Hi,

I have had to do some inline assembly and needed to use some addresses 
and pointer to those etc.

I "stumbled" over some pseudo-opcodes that I can't see are documented 
anyplace and that seems to be useful.
I have some example code programed with IAR that uses opcodes like:

       LDI     R17, Low(hwrd(var))    // Address Bits 16->23 of
       OUT     RAMPX, R17 // the field in var
       LDI     XH, High(lwrd(var))    // Address Bits 08->15
       LDI     XL, Low(lwrd(var))     // Address Bits 00->07
'var' has a 24bit address.
Trying to find something like this for avr-gcc I found (binutils file 
gas/config/tc-avr.c):
-hh8
-pm_hh8
-hi8
-pm_hi8
-lo8
-pm-lo8
-hlo8
-hhi8

http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/assembler.html mentions lo8, 
hi8 and pm, but does not document those.
Does any documentation exist or?

I made this code that generates the same:
       LDI     R17, lo8(hlo8(var))    // Address Bits 16->23 of
       OUT     RAMPX, R17 // the field in var
       LDI     XH, hi8(var)    // Address Bits 08->15
       LDI     XL, lo8(var)     // Address Bits 00->07

Am I assuming correct?

For me it seems like 'hh8'and 'hlo8' is the same. They have different 
code in the src-file, but as far as I can see does the same. Can anyone 
explain me the difference, if there is some?
Also in IAR 'hwrd' seems to be the same as 'hlo8', but I cant find a 
direct translation of 'lwrd'. But I might not need it?

This is used to access a variable that is located in higher memory location.

Per A.
