<p><a name="index-expression-arguments-248"></a><a name="index-arguments-in-expressions-249"></a><a name="index-operands-in-expressions-250"></a><a name="index-arithmetic-operands-251"></a><dfn>Arguments</dfn> are symbols, numbers or subexpressions. In other
|
||
|
|
contexts arguments are sometimes called “arithmetic operands”. In
|
||
|
|
this manual, to avoid confusing them with the “instruction operands” of
|
||
|
|
the machine language, we use the term “argument” to refer to parts of
|
||
|
|
expressions only, reserving the word “operand” to refer only to machine
|
||
|
|
instruction operands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Symbols are evaluated to yield {<var>section</var> <var>NNN</var>} where
|
||
|
|
<var>section</var> is one of text, data, bss, absolute,
|
||
|
|
or undefined. <var>NNN</var> is a signed, 2's complement 32 bit
|
||
|
|
integer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Numbers are usually integers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A number can be a flonum or bignum. In this case, you are warned
|
||
|
|
that only the low order 32 bits are used, and <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> pretends
|
||
|
|
these 32 bits are an integer. You may write integer-manipulating
|
||
|
|
instructions that act on exotic constants, compatible with other
|
||
|
|
assemblers.

||
|

|
<p><a name="index-subexpressions-252"></a>Subexpressions are a left parenthesis ‘<samp><span class="samp">(</span></samp>’ followed by an integer
|
||
|
|
expression, followed by a right parenthesis ‘<samp><span class="samp">)</span></samp>’; or a prefix
|
||
|
|
operator followed by an argument.
