.ASCIC - String declaration

 

A character array is created by translating the ASCII string in the instruction:

 

.asciz    "String inside brackets"

 

This instruction is identical to .ascii except for the fact that the first byte of the string contains its size. Therefore .ascic is limited to strings with less than 256 characters

 

backslash ('\') followed by a character or combination of characters, translate the sequence to special chars:

 

\n         new-line                       \t  tab

\b         backspace                    \r  carriage return

\\          backslash                     ""  reverse commas

\ddd     byte value in octal notation

\xdd     byte value in hex   notation
