<h4 class="subsubsection">9.4.2.5 NEON Alignment Specifiers</h4>
<a name="index-alignment-for-NEON-instructions"></a>
<p>Some NEON load/store instructions allow an optional address
alignment qualifier.
The ARM documentation specifies that this is indicated by
&lsquo;<samp>@ <var>align</var></samp>&rsquo;. However GAS already interprets
the &lsquo;<samp>@</samp>&rsquo; character as a &quot;line comment&quot; start,
so &lsquo;<samp>: <var>align</var></samp>&rsquo; is used instead. For example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> vld1.8 {q0}, [r0, :128]
</pre></div>
