Using Section Directives

The following code illustrates the use and behavior of the section directives .text, .section, .pushsection, .popsection, and .previous:

Example: Code Sequence Using Section Directives
.text //Default .section A //Makes A the current section. //.text is A’s previous section. .pushsection B //Pushes A onto the stack and makes B the //current section. A is B’s previous section. .pushsection C //Pushes B onto stack and makes C the current //section, B is C’s previous section. .popsection //Pops B from stack and makes it current. .popsection //Pops A from stack and makes it current. //.text is A’s previous section. .previous //Makes A’s previously current section .text the //current section. A becomes .text’s previous //section. .previous //Makes A the current section, .text becomes A’s //previous section.

Example: Code Sequence Using Section Directives

.text //Default

.section A //Makes A the current section.
//.text is A’s previous section.

.pushsection B //Pushes A onto the stack and makes B the
//current section. A is B’s previous section.

.pushsection C //Pushes B onto stack and makes C the current
//section, B is C’s previous section.

.popsection //Pops B from stack and makes it current.

.popsection //Pops A from stack and makes it current.
//.text is A’s previous section.

.previous        //Makes A’s previously current section .text the
                //current section. A becomes .text’s previous
                //section.

.previous //Makes A the current section, .text becomes A’s
//previous section.
