<dl><dt><code>.lcomm </code><var>symbol</var><code> , </code><var>length</var><code>[, </code><var>alignment</var><code>]</code><dd>Reserve <var>length</var> (an absolute expression) bytes for a local common
denoted by <var>symbol</var>. The section and value of <var>symbol</var> are
those of the new local common. The addresses are allocated in the bss
section, so that at run-time the bytes start off zeroed. Since
<var>symbol</var> is not declared global, it is normally not visible to
<code>ld</code>. The optional third parameter, <var>alignment</var>,
specifies the desired alignment of the symbol in the bss section.
<p>This directive is only available for COFF based x86 targets.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007blargecomm_007d-directive_002c-ELF-1140"></a><br><dt><code>.largecomm </code><var>symbol</var><code> , </code><var>length</var><code>[, </code><var>alignment</var><code>]</code><dd>This directive behaves in the same way as the <code>comm</code> directive
except that the data is placed into the <var>.lbss</var> section instead of
the <var>.bss</var> section <a href="Comm.html#Comm">Comm</a>.
<p>The directive is intended to be used for data which requires a large
amount of space, and it is only available for ELF based x86_64
targets.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007bvalue_007d-directive-1141"></a><br><dt><code>.value </code><var>expression</var><code> [, </code><var>expression</var><code>]</code><dd>This directive behaves in the same way as the <code>.short</code> directive,
taking a series of comma separated expressions and storing them as
two-byte wide values into the current section.
