This section describes macros whose principal purpose is to describe how to write instructions in assembler language—rather than what the instructions do.
| • File Framework: | Structural information for the assembler file. | |
| • Data Output: | Output of constants (numbers, strings, addresses). | |
| • Uninitialized Data: | Output of uninitialized variables. | |
| • Label Output: | Output and generation of labels. | |
| • Initialization: | General principles of initialization and termination routines. | |
| • Macros for Initialization: | Specific macros that control the handling of initialization and termination routines. | |
| • Instruction Output: | Output of actual instructions. | |
| • Dispatch Tables: | Output of jump tables. | |
| • Exception Region Output: | Output of exception region code. | |
| • Alignment Output: | Pseudo ops for alignment and skipping data. |
