<h4 class="subsection">3.10.2 Symbolic Constants</h4>
<a name="index-symbolic-constants"></a>
<a name="index-CONSTANT"></a>
<p>It is possible to refer to target-specific constants via the use of
the <code>CONSTANT(<var>name</var>)</code> operator, where <var>name</var> is one of:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>MAXPAGESIZE</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-MAXPAGESIZE"></a>
<p>The target&rsquo;s maximum page size.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>COMMONPAGESIZE</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-COMMONPAGESIZE"></a>
<p>The target&rsquo;s default page size.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>So for example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">  .text ALIGN (CONSTANT (MAXPAGESIZE)) : { *(.text) }
</pre></div>

<p>will create a text section aligned to the largest page boundary
supported by the target.
