C.3. M1750 Machine Directives

The following directives are supported in addition to the common ones listed in the assembler documentation.

.skip number

.skip is identical to the .space directive.

.rdata subsection

.rdata tells the assembler to assemble the following statements onto the end of the read-only data subsection numbered subsection (which is an absolute expression). If subsection is omitted, it defaults to zero.

.rodata subsection

.rodata is identical to the .rdata directive.

.sbam flonums

.sbam expects one or more flonums, separated by commas. It assembles Single precision binary angular measurement (See draft MIL-STD-1750B section 4.1.11).

.dbam flonums

.dbam expects one or more flonums, separated by commas. It assembles Double precision binary angular measurement (See draft MIL-STD-1750B section 4.1.12).
