Syntax
.lcomm symbol , count [, align ]
LCOMM[.S] symbol , count [, align ]
Description
symbol
count
align
The LCOMM directive defines the specified symbol symbol and associates with it
a block of uninitialized data in the BSS-type section .bss. The number of bytes in
this block is specified by count . The alignment of the block is specified by align ; if
omitted or if the -c flag has been specified, quad alignment is used.
The scope of the symbol symbol is static. The block of data is allocated during
assembly. For more information, refer to section 3.3.5.4 Comm and Lcomm
Symbols).
The .S qualifier is used to indicate that the symbol can be referenced with the
absolute short addressing mode (i.e., the symbol will reside in the top or bottom
32K of memory).
