- Small code model:
```
.foo:
# %bb.0:                                # %entry
	lwz 3, L..C0(2)                         # @b  ;; Use one instruction to load b's address in the TOC. So only 2^16 bytes TOC range can be accessed because of encoding limitation of `lwz` instruction.
	lwz 3, 0(3)
	blr
```

- large code model
```
.foo:
# %bb.0:                                # %entry
	addis 3, L..C0 at u(2)
	lwz 3, L..C0 at l(3)          ;; Use two instructions to load b's address. So that bigger TOC range can be accessed.
	lwz 3, 0(3)
	blr
