<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007bset_007d-directive-458"></a><a name="index-symbol-value_002c-setting-459"></a>Set the value of <var>symbol</var> to <var>expression</var>. This
|
||
|
|
changes <var>symbol</var>'s value and type to conform to
|
||
|
|
<var>expression</var>. If <var>symbol</var> was flagged as external, it remains
|
||
|
|
flagged (see <a href="Symbol-Attributes.html#Symbol-Attributes">Symbol Attributes</a>).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You may <code>.set</code> a symbol many times in the same assembly provided that the
|
||
|
|
values given to the symbol are constants. Values that are based on expressions
|
||
|
|
involving other symbols are allowed, but some targets may restrict this to only
|
||
|
|
being done once per assembly. This is because those targets do not set the
|
||
|
|
addresses of symbols at assembly time, but rather delay the assignment until a
|
||
|
|
final link is performed. This allows the linker a chance to change the code in
|
||
|
|
the files, changing the location of, and the relative distance between, various
|
||
|
|
different symbols.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If you <code>.set</code> a global symbol, the value stored in the object
|
||
|
|
file is the last value stored into it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>On Z80 <code>set</code> is a real instruction, use
|
||
|
|
‘<samp><var>symbol</var><span class="samp"> defl </span><var>expression</var></samp>’ instead.
