.size / SIZE — Set Size Attribute
Syntax
.size
size
SIZE
size
Description
size
Specifies the size of the current symbol. It is an absolute
expression that cannot contain any forward, external, or undefined
references.
The
.size / SIZE
directive sets the size attribute of the symbol referenced by the
current attribute block (see
.def / DEF
directive). The size attribute is specified for
aggregate types (see section
1.4.9 Auxiliary Table Entries
). This directive can
appear at most once per symbol attribute block.
The
.size / SIZE
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
DEF buf
VAL buf
DIM 16,4
SCL 2
TYPE $F4
LINE 25
SIZE 256 ; buf is an array 256 bytes long
