|
<p>A <em>statement</em> ends at a newline character (‘<samp>\n</samp>’) or a
|
||
|
|
<em>line separator character</em>. The line separator character is target
|
||
|
|
specific and described in the <em>Syntax</em> section of each
|
||
|
|
target’s documentation. Not all targets support a line separator character.
|
||
|
|
The newline or line separator character is considered to be part of the
|
||
|
|
preceding statement. Newlines and separators within character constants are an
|
||
|
|
exception: they do not end statements.
|

|
||
|
|
<p>It is an error to end any statement with end-of-file: the last
|
||
|
|
character of any input file should be a newline.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>An empty statement is allowed, and may include whitespace. It is ignored.
|
||
|

<a name="index-directives-and-instructions"></a>
|
||
|
|
<p>A statement begins with zero or more labels, optionally followed by a
|
||
|
|
key symbol which determines what kind of statement it is. The key
|
||
|
|
symbol determines the syntax of the rest of the statement. If the
|
||
|
|
symbol begins with a dot ‘<samp>.</samp>’ then the statement is an assembler
|
||
|
|
directive: typically valid for any computer. If the symbol begins with
|
||
|
|
a letter the statement is an assembly language <em>instruction</em>: it
|
||
|
|
assembles into a machine language instruction.
|
||
|
|
Different versions of <code>as</code> for different computers
|
||
|
|
recognize different instructions. In fact, the same symbol may
|
||
|
|
represent a different instruction in a different computer’s assembly
|
||
|
|
language.

||

|
||
|
|
<a name="index-label-_0028_003a_0029"></a>
|
||
|
|
<p>A label is a symbol immediately followed by a colon (<code>:</code>).
|
||
|
|
Whitespace before a label or after a colon is permitted, but you may not
|
||
|
|
have whitespace between a label’s symbol and its colon. See <a href="Labels.html#Labels">Labels</a>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For HPPA targets, labels need not be immediately followed by a colon, but
|
||
|
|
the definition of a label must begin in column zero. This also implies that
|
||
|
|
only one label may be defined on each line.
