.tag / TAG — Set Tag Name Attribute
Syntax
.tag symbol
TAG symbol
Description
symbol
Specifies the tag name with which the current symbol is
associated. It is a symbol that is defined as a structure, union, or
enumeration type.
The
.tag / TAG
directive sets the tag name attribute of the symbol referenced by
the current attribute block (see
.def / DEF
directive). For a detailed description of
the tag name attribute, see section
1.4.9 Auxiliary Table Entries
. This directive
can appear at most once per symbol attribute block.
The
.tag / TAG
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).
