<a name="index-internal-assembler-sections"></a>
<a name="index-sections-in-messages_002c-internal"></a>
<p>These sections are meant only for the internal use of <code>as</code>.  They
have no meaning at run-time.  You do not really need to know about these
sections for most purposes; but they can be mentioned in <code>as</code>
warning messages, so it might be helpful to have an idea of their
meanings to <code>as</code>.  These sections are used to permit the
value of every expression in your assembly language program to be a
section-relative address.

<dt><b>ASSEMBLER-INTERNAL-LOGIC-ERROR!</b></dt>
<dd><p>An internal assembler logic error has been found.  This means there is a
bug in the assembler.
</p>
<a name="index-expr-_0028internal-section_0029"></a>
</dd>
<dt><b>expr section</b></dt>
<dd><p>The assembler stores complex expression internally as combinations of
symbols.  When it needs to represent an expression as a symbol, it puts
it in the expr section.
