| <h4 class="subsection">9.46.4 Z80 Assembler Directives</h4> |
| |
| <p><code>as</code> for the Z80 supports some additional directives for |
| compatibility with other assemblers. |
| </p> |
| <a name="index-Z80_002donly-directives"></a> |
| <p>These are the additional directives in <code>as</code> for the Z80: |
| </p> |
| <dl compact="compact"> |
| <dt><code>db <var>expression</var>|<var>string</var>[,<var>expression</var>|<var>string</var>...]</code></dt> |
| <dt><code>defb <var>expression</var>|<var>string</var>[,<var>expression</var>|<var>string</var>...]</code></dt> |
| <dd><p>For each <var>string</var> the characters are copied to the object file, for |
| each other <var>expression</var> the value is stored in one byte. |
| A warning is issued in case of an overflow. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>dw <var>expression</var>[,<var>expression</var>...]</code></dt> |
| <dt><code>defw <var>expression</var>[,<var>expression</var>...]</code></dt> |
| <dd><p>For each <var>expression</var> the value is stored in two bytes, ignoring |
| overflow. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>d24 <var>expression</var>[,<var>expression</var>...]</code></dt> |
| <dt><code>def24 <var>expression</var>[,<var>expression</var>...]</code></dt> |
| <dd><p>For each <var>expression</var> the value is stored in three bytes, ignoring |
| overflow. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>d32 <var>expression</var>[,<var>expression</var>...]</code></dt> |
| <dt><code>def32 <var>expression</var>[,<var>expression</var>...]</code></dt> |
| <dd><p>For each <var>expression</var> the value is stored in four bytes, ignoring |
| overflow. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>ds <var>count</var>[, <var>value</var>]</code></dt> |
| <dt><code>defs <var>count</var>[, <var>value</var>]</code></dt> |
| <dd><p>Fill <var>count</var> bytes in the object file with <var>value</var>, if |
| <var>value</var> is omitted it defaults to zero. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code><var>symbol</var> equ <var>expression</var></code></dt> |
| <dt><code><var>symbol</var> defl <var>expression</var></code></dt> |
| <dd><p>These directives set the value of <var>symbol</var> to <var>expression</var>. If |
| <code>equ</code> is used, it is an error if <var>symbol</var> is already defined. |
| Symbols defined with <code>equ</code> are not protected from redefinition. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>set</code></dt> |
| <dd><p>This is a normal instruction on Z80, and not an assembler directive. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>psect <var>name</var></code></dt> |
| <dd><p>A synonym for See <a href="Section.html#Section">Section</a>, no second argument should be given. |
