<a name="index-current-address_002c-advancing"></a>
<p>Advance the location counter of the current section to
<var>new-lc</var>.  <var>new-lc</var> is either an absolute expression or an
expression with the same section as the current subsection.  That is,
you can&rsquo;t use <code>.org</code> to cross sections: if <var>new-lc</var> has the
wrong section, the <code>.org</code> directive is ignored.  To be compatible
with former assemblers, if the section of <var>new-lc</var> is absolute,
<code>as</code> issues a warning, then pretends the section of <var>new-lc</var>
is the same as the current subsection.
</p>
<p><code>.org</code> may only increase the location counter, or leave it
unchanged; you cannot use <code>.org</code> to move the location counter
backwards.
</p>
<p>Because <code>as</code> tries to assemble programs in one pass, <var>new-lc</var>
may not be undefined.  If you really detest this restriction we eagerly await
a chance to share your improved assembler.
</p>
<p>Beware that the origin is relative to the start of the section, not
to the start of the subsection.  This is compatible with other
people&rsquo;s assemblers.
</p>
<p>When the location counter (of the current subsection) is advanced, the
intervening bytes are filled with <var>fill</var> which should be an
absolute expression.  If the comma and <var>fill</var> are omitted,
<var>fill</var> defaults to zero.
