Syntax
.text expression
Description
The .text directive instructs the assembler to add subsequent code to the .text section, named with the expression provided. (This is the default.)
The assembler allows a non-text directive to occur within the scope of a procedure. The use of the .text directive following the non-text instructions causes the assembler to reset its context to the procedure. The Alpha assembler does produce a warning in this case. This feature has been retained in the Alpha assembler to support code generated by the acc compiler.
