References to symbols with a local scope are resolved from within the object file in which the symbols are declared. Local symbols with the same name in different object files do not refer to the same entity. Symbols have a local scope by default, so it is not necessary to declare symbols with local scopes. However, the .local directive is available for completeness. The .local directive has the following format:
.local name,name, ...
Where:
|
name |
Represents a symbol name. |
