11.3 Working with Relocatable Sections
A relocatable section is a section whereby the start address is determined at link
time. See modules fibo.asm and fibo.prm in the demo directory.
11.3.1 Defining Relocatable Sections in the Assembly Source File
A relocatable section is defined using the directive SECTION.
Example:
Defining a relocatable section containing data:
constSec: SECTION ; Relocatable constant data section.
cst1: DC.B $A6
cst2: DC.B $BC
dataSec: SECTION ; Relocatable data section.
var: DS.B 1
In the previous portion of code, the label cst1 will be located at offset 0 from
the section constSec start address, and label cst2 will be located at offset 1
from the section constSec start address.
