ﬁrst in its symbol tables for program-deﬁned symbols and internal variables (which includes register names). If a match is found, the matching value is used, otherwise the character sequence is taken as a number. You can force the numeric inter- pretation by putting a “ 0x” or “ 0X” preﬁx in front of the number, such as “ 0xb3”. It is undeﬁned whether Ski searches the symbol table for program-deﬁned symbols before or after the internal variable symbol table. Because of this, it is wise to avoid naming global variables and functions with names duplicating any of Ski’s internal variables. In practice, this means you should avoid using register names as names of variables and functions in your programs.
