Glossary
A
absolute address: An address that is permanently assigned to a
TMS320C54x memory location.
absolute lister: A debugging tool that accepts linked files as input and
creates .abs files as output. These .abs files can be assembled to pro-
duce a listing that shows the absolute addresses of object code. Without
the tool, an absolute listing can be prepared with the use of many manual
operations.
algebraic: An instruction that the assembler translates into machine code.
alignment: A process in which the linker places an output section at an
address that falls on an
n-bit boundary, where n is a power of 2. You can
specify alignment with the SECTIONS linker directive.
allocation: A process in which the linker calculates the final memory
addresses of output sections.
archive library: A collection of individual files that have been grouped into
a single file.
archiver: A software program that allows you to collect several individual
files into a single file called an archive library. The archiver also allows
you to delete, extract, or replace members of the archive library, as well
as to add new members.
ASCII: American Standard Code for Information Exchange. A standard
computer code for representing and exchanging alphanumeric informa-
tion.
assembler: A software program that creates a machine-language program
from a source file that contains assembly language instructions, direc-
tives, and macro directives. The assembler substitutes absolute opera-
tion codes for symbolic operation codes, and absolute or relocatable
addresses for symbolic addresses.
assembly-time constant: A symbol that is assigned a constant value with
the .set directive.
