<h3 class="section">7.105 <code>.struct </code><var>expression</var></h3>
<p><a name="index-_0040code_007bstruct_007d-directive-471"></a>Switch to the absolute section, and set the section offset to <var>expression</var>,
which must be an absolute expression. You might use this as follows:
<pre class="smallexample"> .struct 0
field1:
.struct field1 + 4
field2:
.struct field2 + 4
field3:
</pre>
<p>This would define the symbol <code>field1</code> to have the value 0, the symbol
<code>field2</code> to have the value 4, and the symbol <code>field3</code> to have the
value 8. Assembly would be left in the absolute section, and you would need to
use a <code>.section</code> directive of some sort to change to some other section
before further assembly.
