Node:Previous, Next:Print, Previous:PopSection, Up:Pseudo Ops
.previous
This is one of the ELF section stack manipulation directives. The others are
.section
(see Section), .subsection
(see SubSection),
.pushsection
(see PushSection), and .popsection
(see PopSection).
This directive swaps the current section (and subsection) with most recently
referenced section (and subsection) prior to this one. Multiple
.previous
directives in a row will flip between two sections (and their
subsections).
In terms of the section stack, this directive swaps the current section with the top section on the section stack.
