aligned to the power of two specified by <var>align</var>.  <var>length</var> and

<var>align</var> must be positive absolute expressions.  This directive
 |

differs from <span class="samp">.lcomm</span> only in that it permits you to specify

an alignment.  See <a href="Lcomm.html#Lcomm"><code>.lcomm</code></a>.

 | 
						|
optimized <code>callj</code> instruction to enable faster calls of leaf
 | 
						|
procedures.  If a procedure is known to call no other procedures, you
 | 
						|
may define an entry point that skips procedure prolog code (and that does
 | 
						|
not depend on system-supplied saved context), and declare it as the
 | 
						|
<var>bal-lab</var> using <span class="samp">.leafproc</span>.  If the procedure also has an
 | 
						|
entry point that goes through the normal prolog, you can specify that
 | 
						|
entry point as <var>call-lab</var>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <p>A <span class="samp">.leafproc</span> declaration is meant for use in conjunction with the
 | 
						|
optimized call instruction <span class="samp">callj</span>; the directive records the data
 | 
						|
needed later to choose between converting the <span class="samp">callj</span> into a
 | 
						|
<code>bal</code> or a <code>call</code>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <p><var>call-lab</var> is optional; if only one argument is present, or if the
 | 
						|
two arguments are identical, the single argument is assumed to be the
 | 
						|
<code>bal</code> entry point.

 | 
						|
After you define it using <span class="samp">.sysproc</span>, you can use <var>name</var> to

						|
refer to the system procedure identified by <var>index</var> when calling

procedures with the optimized call instruction <span class="samp">callj</span>.
