E.2.8 Symbol Control Directives

The scope of assembly-time symbols differs in the two assemblers. In Asm430, definitions are global to a file, but can be undefined with the

.newblock directive. In A430, symbols are either local to a macro (LOCAL), local to a module (EQU) or global to a file (DEFINE). In addition, the preprocessor directive #define can also be used to define local symbols.

Description

Asm430 Directive (TI)

A430 Directive (IAR)

Assign a character string to a substitution

.asg

SET or VAR or ASSIGN

symbol

 

 

Undefine local symbols

.newblock

1)

Equate a value with a symbol

.equ or .set

EQU or =

Perform arithmetic on numeric substitution

.eval

SET or VAR or ASSIGN

symbols

 

 

End structure definition

.endstruct

2)

Begin a structure definition

.struct

2)

Assign structure attributes to a label

.tag

2)

1)No A430 directive directly corresponds to .newblock. However, #undef may be used to reset a symbol that was defined with the #define directive. Also, macros or modules may be used to achieve the

.newblock functionality because local symbols are implicitly undefined at the end of a macro or module.

2)Definition of structure types is not supported. Similar functionality is achieved by using macros to allocate aggregate data and base address plus symbolic offset, as shown below:
