-
- <a name="index-_002einsn"></a>
- <p>The <code>.insn</code> directive tells <code>as</code> that the following
- data is actually instructions. This makes a difference in MIPS 16 and
- microMIPS modes: when loading the address of a label which precedes
- instructions, <code>as</code> automatically adds 1 to the value, so
- that jumping to the loaded address will do the right thing.
- </p>
- <a name="index-_002eglobal"></a>
- <p>The <code>.global</code> and <code>.globl</code> directives supported by
- <code>as</code> will by default mark the symbol as pointing to a
- region of data not code. This means that, for example, any
- instructions following such a symbol will not be disassembled by
- <code>objdump</code> as it will regard them as data. To change this
- behavior an optional section name can be placed after the symbol name
- in the <code>.global</code> directive. If this section exists and is known
- to be a code section, then the symbol will be marked as pointing at
- code not data. Ie the syntax for the directive is:
- </p>
- <p><code>.global <var>symbol</var>[ <var>section</var>][, <var>symbol</var>[ <var>section</var>]] ...</code>,
- </p>
- <p>Here is a short example:
- </p>
- <div class="example">
- <pre class="example"> .global foo .text, bar, baz .data
- foo:
- nop
- bar:
- .word 0x0
- baz:
- .word 0x1
-
- </pre></div>
