SPARC Assembly/Pseudo-Ops

This page is going to discuss SPARC Pseudo-Ops.

Pseudo-Ops

In addition to the SPARC instructions and synthetic instructions, there are a number of assembler-provided "Pseudo-Ops" that create convenience for the programmer.

• .ascii
• .asciz
• .text
• .data
• .bss
• .skip
• .align
• .byte
• .half
• .word
• .single
• .double
• .quad
• .global
• .common
• .empty

This chapter will (hopefully) discuss each of these.
