as: Z8000 Directives
9.56.3 Assembler Directives for the Z8000
-----------------------------------------
The Z8000 port of as includes additional assembler directives, for
compatibility with other Z8000 assemblers. These do not begin with '.'
(unlike the ordinary as directives).
'segm'
'.z8001'
Generate code for the segmented Z8001.
'unsegm'
'.z8002'
Generate code for the unsegmented Z8002.
'name'
Synonym for '.file'
'global'
Synonym for '.global'
'wval'
Synonym for '.word'
'lval'
Synonym for '.long'
'bval'
Synonym for '.byte'
'sval'
Assemble a string. 'sval' expects one string literal, delimited by
single quotes. It assembles each byte of the string into
consecutive addresses. You can use the escape sequence '%XX'
(where XX represents a two-digit hexadecimal number) to represent
the character whose ASCII value is XX. Use this feature to
describe single quote and other characters that may not appear in
string literals as themselves. For example, the C statement
'char *a = "he said \"it's 50% off\"";' is represented in Z8000
assembly language (shown with the assembler output in hex at the
left) as
68652073 sval 'he said %22it%27s 50%25 off%22%00'
61696420
22697427
73203530
25206F66
662200
'rsect'
synonym for '.section'
'block'
synonym for '.space'
'even'
special case of '.align'; aligns output to even byte boundary.
