Description
dim
Specifies an array dimension of the current symbol. It is an
absolute expression that cannot contain any forward, external, or
undefined references. Up to four dimensions can be specified.
The
.dim / DIM
directive sets the dimension attribute of the symbol referenced by
the current attribute block (see
.def / DEF
directive). The dimension attribute is
specified for array types (see sections
1.4.8.7 Type Entry
and
1.4.9.6 Arrays
).
This directive can appear at most once per symbol attribute block.
The
.dim / DIM
directive is typically used only for C source-level debugging; it is
ignored when assembler source-level debugging information is generated with
the
-L
command line flag (see also
.type / TYPE
directive).
Example

VAL buf
DIM 16,4 ; buf is a two-dim array, int buf[16][4]
