Origin Directive | HP UX Developer Tools instruction

Assembler Directives and Pseudo-Operations

.ORIGIN Directive

.ORIGIN Directive

The .ORIGIN directive advances the location counter to the speciﬁed location.

Syntax

.ORIGIN [ location]

Parameters

location	The integer value used to advance the location counter
	to that absolute location. The location counter value
	may not decrease during this process; that is, the value
	speciﬁed cannot be less than the value of the current
	location counter.
	The default value is zero.

Discussion

When the Assembler encounters an .ORIGIN directive, it issues a

.BLOCK pseudo-operation of a size calculated to advance the location counter to the requested origin. See “.BLOCK and .BLOCKZ Pseudo-Operations” on page 60 in this chapter.

Example

This sample program performs an exclusive OR, advances the location counter to 64 bytes, and branches to the label idx.

.CODE

XOR %r21,%r22,%r23

Bidx

NOP

.ORIGIN 64

idx LDWX %r23(%sr0,%sr0),%r3

.END
