8.27.3 Assembler Directives for the Z8000
The Z8000 port of as includes these additional assembler directives,
for compatibility with other Z8000 assemblers. As shown, these do not
begin with `.' (unlike the ordinary as directives).
segm
- Generates code for the segmented Z8001.
unsegm
- Generates 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'
