Assembly Directives

[Steam Ranger]

| 2 Questions |

- |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
1 | Is there a list I can find somewhere that gives each assembler directive, and their uses.----------------------------|
- |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
2 | Is there a way I can load a structure as a constant? Like dc but instead of simple values it's the entire structure? |
- |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| Thanks |

1. depends on assembler, many directives are common though. try http://sun.hasenbraten.de/vasm/release/vasm_4.html (4.4 directives), or do a web search for asm-one manual, etc...
2. yes, with a macro. for example, something like (in asm-one syntax):

  RSRESET
EX_member1  RS.W 1    ; example structure
EX_member2  RS.L 1
EX_member3  RS.W 1
EX_SIZE  RS 0

InitEX  MACRO
  DC.W \1
  DC.L \2
  DC.W \3
  ENDM

  InitEX 123,456,789

The Devpac manual has some pretty comprehensive documentation with examples for directives. I found this useful for understanding how some of them are actually used.
