|

|
|
<p>The bss section is used for local common variable storage.
|
||
|
|
You may allocate address space in the bss section, but you may
|
||
|
|
not dictate data to load into it before your program executes. When
|
||
|
|
your program starts running, all the contents of the bss
|
||
|
|
section are zeroed bytes.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>.lcomm</code> pseudo-op defines a symbol in the bss section; see
|
||
|
|
<a href="Lcomm.html#Lcomm"><code>.lcomm</code></a>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>.comm</code> pseudo-op may be used to declare a common symbol, which is
|
||
|
|
another form of uninitialized symbol; see <a href="Comm.html#Comm"><code>.comm</code></a>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When assembling for a target which supports multiple sections, such as ELF or
|
||
|
|
COFF, you may switch into the <code>.bss</code> section and define symbols as usual;
|
||
|
|
see <a href="Section.html#Section"><code>.section</code></a>. You may only assemble zero values into the
|
||
|
|
section. Typically the section will only contain symbol definitions and
|
||
|
|
<code>.skip</code> directives (see <a href="Skip.html#Skip"><code>.skip</code></a>).
