.space size , fill
This directive emits size bytes, each of value fill. Both
size and fill are absolute expressions. If the comma
and fill are omitted, fill is assumed to be zero. This is the same
as .skip
.
Warning:.space
has a completely different meaning for HPPA targets; use.block
as a substitute. See HP9000 Series 800 Assembly Language Reference Manual (HP 92432-90001) for the meaning of the.space
directive. See HPPA Assembler Directives, for a summary.
On the AMD 29K, this directive is ignored; it is accepted for compatibility with other AMD 29K assemblers.
Warning: In most versions of the GNU assembler, the directive.space
has the effect of.block
See Machine Dependencies.
