Structures and Unions in Assembly Code
The assembler provides a set of directives to group data elements together, similar to high-
level programming language constructs like a C structure or a Pascal record. These direc-
tives allow you to declare a structure or union type consisting of various elements, assign
labels to be of previously declared structure or union type, and provide multiple ways to
access elements at an offset from such labels.
The assembler directives associated with structure and union support are listed in
Table 21:
These structure and union directives are described in the following sections:
•
.STRUCT and .ENDSTRUCT Directives
