.s_floating Directive

Syntax

.s_floating expression1 [, expression2] ... [, expressionN]

Description

The .s_floating directive initializes memory to single-precision (32-bit) IEEE floating-point numbers. The expression values must be absolute.

The operands for the .s_floating directive can optionally have the form expressionVal [ :expressionRep]

The expressionVal is a 32-bit value. The optional expressionRep is a non-negative expression that specifies how many times to replicate the value of expressionVal. The expression value (expressionVal) and repetition count (expressionRep) must be absolute.

This directive automatically aligns its data and preceding labels to a longword boundary. This feature can be disabled with the .align 0 directive.
