<dl><dt><code>.bss </code><var>symbol</var><code>, </code><var>length</var><code>, </code><var>align</var><dd>Reserve <var>length</var> bytes in the bss section for a local <var>symbol</var>,
aligned to the power of two specified by <var>align</var>. <var>length</var> and
<var>align</var> must be positive absolute expressions. This directive
differs from &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">.lcomm</span></samp>&rsquo; only in that it permits you to specify
an alignment. See <a href="Lcomm.html#Lcomm"><code>.lcomm</code></a>.

<dl><dt><code>.extended </code><var>flonums</var><dd><code>.extended</code> expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas; for
each flonum, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">.extended</span></samp>&rsquo; emits an <span class="sc">ieee</span> extended-format (80-bit)
floating-point number.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007bleafproc_007d-directive_002c-i960-1195"></a><br><dt><code>.leafproc </code><var>call-lab</var><code>, </code><var>bal-lab</var><dd>You can use the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">.leafproc</span></samp>&rsquo; directive in conjunction with the
optimized <code>callj</code> instruction to enable faster calls of leaf
procedures. If a procedure is known to call no other procedures, you
may define an entry point that skips procedure prolog code (and that does
not depend on system-supplied saved context), and declare it as the
<var>bal-lab</var> using &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">.leafproc</span></samp>&rsquo;. If the procedure also has an
entry point that goes through the normal prolog, you can specify that
entry point as <var>call-lab</var>.
<p>A &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">.leafproc</span></samp>&rsquo; declaration is meant for use in conjunction with the
optimized call instruction &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">callj</span></samp>&rsquo;; the directive records the data
needed later to choose between converting the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">callj</span></samp>&rsquo; into a
<code>bal</code> or a <code>call</code>.
<p><var>call-lab</var> is optional; if only one argument is present, or if the
two arguments are identical, the single argument is assumed to be the
<code>bal</code> entry point.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007bsysproc_007d-directive_002c-i960-1196"></a><br><dt><code>.sysproc </code><var>name</var><code>, </code><var>index</var><dd>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">.sysproc</span></samp>&rsquo; directive defines a name for a system procedure.
After you define it using &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">.sysproc</span></samp>&rsquo;, you can use <var>name</var> to
refer to the system procedure identified by <var>index</var> when calling
procedures with the optimized call instruction &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">callj</span></samp>&rsquo;.
<p>Both arguments are required; <var>index</var> must be between 0 and 31
(inclusive).
