<h3 class="section">7.13 <code>.dc[<var>size</var>] <var>expressions</var></code></h3>
<a name="index-dc-directive"></a>

<p>The <code>.dc</code> directive expects zero or more <var>expressions</var> separated by
commas.  These expressions are evaluated and their values inserted into the
current section.  The size of the emitted value depends upon the suffix to the
<code>.dc</code> directive:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>.a</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Emits N-bit values, where N is the size of an address on the target system.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>.b</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Emits 8-bit values.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>.d</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Emits double precision floating-point values.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>.l</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Emits 32-bit values.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>.s</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Emits single precision floating-point values.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>.w</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Emits 16-bit values.
Note - this is true even on targets where the <code>.word</code> directive would emit
32-bit values.
</p></dd>
<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>.x</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Emits long double precision floating-point values.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>If no suffix is used then &lsquo;<samp>.w</samp>&rsquo; is assumed.
</p>
<p>The byte ordering is target dependent, as is the size and format of floating
point values.
</p>
