7.89 '.space SIZE [,FILL]'
==========================
This directive emits SIZE bytes, each of value FILL. Both SIZE and FILL
are absolute expressions. If the comma and FILL are omitted, FILL is
assumed to be zero. This is the same as '.skip'.
_Warning:_ '.space' has a completely different meaning for HPPA
targets; use '.block' as a substitute. See 'HP9000 Series 800
Assembly Language Reference Manual' (HP 92432-90001) for the
meaning of the '.space' directive.
