Constants

All constants are integers.

As in C, the linker considers an integer beginning with 0 to be octal, and an integer beginning with 0x or 0X to be hexadecimal. The linker considers other integers to be decimal.

In addition, you can use the suffixes K and M to scale a constant by respectively. For example, the following all refer to the same quantity:

  _fourk_1 = 4K;
  _fourk_2 = 4096;
  _fourk_3 = 0x1000;
