<h4 class="subsection">3.5.1 Simple Assignments</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>You may assign to a symbol using any of the C assignment operators:
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><var>symbol</var><code> = </code><var>expression</var><code> ;</code><dt><var>symbol</var><code> += </code><var>expression</var><code> ;</code><dt><var>symbol</var><code> -= </code><var>expression</var><code> ;</code><dt><var>symbol</var><code> *= </code><var>expression</var><code> ;</code><dt><var>symbol</var><code> /= </code><var>expression</var><code> ;</code><dt><var>symbol</var><code> <<= </code><var>expression</var><code> ;</code><dt><var>symbol</var><code> >>= </code><var>expression</var><code> ;</code><dt><var>symbol</var><code> &= </code><var>expression</var><code> ;</code><dt><var>symbol</var><code> |= </code><var>expression</var><code> ;</code><dd></dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>The first case will define <var>symbol</var> to the value of
|
|
<var>expression</var>. In the other cases, <var>symbol</var> must already be
|
|
defined, and the value will be adjusted accordingly.
|
|
|
|
<p>The special symbol name <span class="samp">.</span> indicates the location counter. You
|
|
may only use this within a <code>SECTIONS</code> command. See <a href="Location-Counter.html#Location-Counter">Location Counter</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>The semicolon after <var>expression</var> is required.
|
|
|
|
<p>Expressions are defined below; see <a href="Expressions.html#Expressions">Expressions</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>You may write symbol assignments as commands in their own right, or as
|
|
statements within a <code>SECTIONS</code> command, or as part of an output
|
|
section description in a <code>SECTIONS</code> command.
|
|
|
|
<p>The section of the symbol will be set from the section of the
|
|
expression; for more information, see <a href="Expression-Section.html#Expression-Section">Expression Section</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>Here is an example showing the three different places that symbol
|
|
assignments may be used:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> floating_point = 0;
|
|
SECTIONS
|
|
{
|
|
.text :
|
|
{
|
|
*(.text)
|
|
_etext = .;
|
|
}
|
|
_bdata = (. + 3) & ~ 3;
|
|
.data : { *(.data) }
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p class="noindent">In this example, the symbol <span class="samp">floating_point</span> will be defined as
|
|
zero. The symbol <span class="samp">_etext</span> will be defined as the address following
|
|
the last <span class="samp">.text</span> input section. The symbol <span class="samp">_bdata</span> will be
|
|
defined as the address following the <span class="samp">.text</span> output section aligned
|
|
upward to a 4 byte boundary.
