.data
Assemble Into .data Section
6-18
Syntax .data
Description The .data directive tells the assembler to begin assembling source code into
data memory. The .data section normally contains tables of data or preinitial-
ized variables.
Note that the assembler assumes that .text is the default section. Therefore,
at the beginning of an assembly, the assembler assembles code into the .text
section unless you specify a section control directive.
Example This example shows how to assemble code into the .data and .text sections.
