<a name="index-previous-directive"></a>

|
|
<p>This is one of the ELF section stack manipulation directives. The others are
|
|
<code>.section</code> (see <a href="Section.html#Section">Section</a>), <code>.subsection</code> (see <a href="SubSection.html#SubSection">SubSection</a>),
|
|
<code>.pushsection</code> (see <a href="PushSection.html#PushSection">PushSection</a>), and <code>.popsection</code>
|
|
(see <a href="PopSection.html#PopSection">PopSection</a>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This directive swaps the current section (and subsection) with most recently
|
|
referenced section/subsection pair prior to this one. Multiple
|
|
<code>.previous</code> directives in a row will flip between two sections (and their
|
|
subsections). For example:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">.section A
|
|
.subsection 1
|
|
.word 0x1234
|
|
.subsection 2
|
|
.word 0x5678
|
|
.previous
|
|
.word 0x9abc
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Will place 0x1234 and 0x9abc into subsection 1 and 0x5678 into subsection 2 of
|
|
section A. Whilst:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">.section A
|
|
.subsection 1
|
|
# Now in section A subsection 1
|
|
.word 0x1234
|
|
.section B
|
|
.subsection 0
|
|
# Now in section B subsection 0
|
|
.word 0x5678
|
|
.subsection 1
|
|
# Now in section B subsection 1
|
|
.word 0x9abc
|
|
.previous
|
|
# Now in section B subsection 0
|
|
.word 0xdef0
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Will place 0x1234 into section A, 0x5678 and 0xdef0 into subsection 0 of
|
|
section B and 0x9abc into subsection 1 of section B.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In terms of the section stack, this directive swaps the current section with
|
|
the top section on the section stack.
