<h3 class="section">7.13 <code>.dc[</code><var>size</var><code>] </code><var>expressions</var></h3>
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007bdc_007d-directive-310"></a>
The <code>.dc</code> directive expects zero or more <var>expressions</var> separated by
commas. These expressions are evaluated and their values inserted into the
current section. The size of the emitted value depends upon the suffix to the
<code>.dc</code> directive:
<dl>
<dt><code>&lsquo;</code><samp><span class="samp">.a</span></samp><code>&rsquo;</code><dd>Emits N-bit values, where N is the size of an address on the target system.
<br><dt><code>&lsquo;</code><samp><span class="samp">.b</span></samp><code>&rsquo;</code><dd>Emits 8-bit values.
<br><dt><code>&lsquo;</code><samp><span class="samp">.d</span></samp><code>&rsquo;</code><dd>Emits double precision floating-point values.
<br><dt><code>&lsquo;</code><samp><span class="samp">.l</span></samp><code>&rsquo;</code><dd>Emits 32-bit values.
<br><dt><code>&lsquo;</code><samp><span class="samp">.s</span></samp><code>&rsquo;</code><dd>Emits single precision floating-point values.
<br><dt><code>&lsquo;</code><samp><span class="samp">.w</span></samp><code>&rsquo;</code><dd>Emits 16-bit values.
Note - this is true even on targets where the <code>.word</code> directive would emit
32-bit values.
<br><dt><code>&lsquo;</code><samp><span class="samp">.x</span></samp><code>&rsquo;</code><dd>Emits long double precision floating-point values.
</dl>
<p>If no suffix is used then &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">.w</span></samp>&rsquo; is assumed.
<p>The byte ordering is target dependent, as is the size and format of floating
point values.
