Greetings,

I need to define a symbol for local structs in an external asm file in a
way that allows me to refer to the components of the struct by their own
symbols. Will the following be okay? 

------------------------------------
.data
struct_name:
	component1:	.long
	component2:	.short
....
------------------------------------
In case this is okay, can I use expressions like:
	
	$struct_name
	(struct_name)
	$component1
	(component1) 
etc.

I am aware that structs in as can be declared like:

-----------------------------------
.data
struct:
	.long
	.short
 ----------------------------------

Thanks in advance
