| <dt><code>.bss <var>symbol</var>, <var>length</var>, <var>align</var></code></dt> |
| <dd><p>Reserve <var>length</var> bytes in the bss section for a local <var>symbol</var>, |
| aligned to the power of two specified by <var>align</var>. <var>length</var> and |
| <var>align</var> must be positive absolute expressions. This directive |
| differs from ‘<samp>.lcomm</samp>’ only in that it permits you to specify |
| an alignment. See <a href="Lcomm.html#Lcomm"><code>.lcomm</code></a>. |
| </p></dd> |

| </dd> |
| <dt><code>.extended <var>flonums</var></code></dt> |
| <dd><p><code>.extended</code> expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas; for |
| each flonum, ‘<samp>.extended</samp>’ emits an <small>IEEE</small> extended-format (80-bit) |
| floating-point number. |
| </p> |
| <a name="index-leafproc-directive_002c-i960"></a> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>.leafproc <var>call-lab</var>, <var>bal-lab</var></code></dt> |
| <dd><p>You can use the ‘<samp>.leafproc</samp>’ directive in conjunction with the |
| optimized <code>callj</code> instruction to enable faster calls of leaf |
| procedures. If a procedure is known to call no other procedures, you |
| may define an entry point that skips procedure prolog code (and that does |
| not depend on system-supplied saved context), and declare it as the |
| <var>bal-lab</var> using ‘<samp>.leafproc</samp>’. If the procedure also has an |
| entry point that goes through the normal prolog, you can specify that |
| entry point as <var>call-lab</var>. |
| </p> |
| <p>A ‘<samp>.leafproc</samp>’ declaration is meant for use in conjunction with the |
| optimized call instruction ‘<samp>callj</samp>’; the directive records the data |
| needed later to choose between converting the ‘<samp>callj</samp>’ into a |
| <code>bal</code> or a <code>call</code>. |
| </p> |
| <p><var>call-lab</var> is optional; if only one argument is present, or if the |
| two arguments are identical, the single argument is assumed to be the |
| <code>bal</code> entry point. |
| </p> |
| <a name="index-sysproc-directive_002c-i960"></a> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>.sysproc <var>name</var>, <var>index</var></code></dt> |
| <dd><p>The ‘<samp>.sysproc</samp>’ directive defines a name for a system procedure. |
| After you define it using ‘<samp>.sysproc</samp>’, you can use <var>name</var> to |
| refer to the system procedure identified by <var>index</var> when calling |
| procedures with the optimized call instruction ‘<samp>callj</samp>’. |
| </p> |
| <p>Both arguments are required; <var>index</var> must be between 0 and 31 |
| (inclusive). |
