21.17 Defining the Output Assembler Language

This section describes macros whose principal purpose is to describe how to write instructions in assembler language--rather than what the instructions do.

21.17.1 The Overall Framework of an Assembler File		Structural information for the assembler file.
21.17.2 Output of Data		Output of constants (numbers, strings, addresses).
21.17.3 Output of Uninitialized Variables		Output of uninitialized variables.
21.17.4 Output and Generation of Labels		Output and generation of labels.
21.17.5 How Initialization Functions Are Handled		General principles of initialization and termination routines.
21.17.6 Macros Controlling Initialization Routines		Specific macros that control the handling of initialization and termination routines.
21.17.7 Output of Assembler Instructions		Output of actual instructions.
21.17.8 Output of Dispatch Tables		Output of jump tables.
21.17.9 Assembler Commands for Exception Regions		Output of exception region code.
21.17.10 Assembler Commands for Alignment		Pseudo ops for alignment and skipping data.
