Purpose |
Align the next instruction to a boundary. |
|
Syntax |
#ALIGN boundary |
|
Remarks |
The #ALIGN metastatement is primarily used by advanced assembler programmers to gain ultimate efficiency from critical code sections. #ALIGN is used to round up the instruction location to a power of two address. The boundary parameter shown must be a power of two, in the range of 2 through 256. PowerBASIC inserts NOP instructions into the code section to bring the instruction location up to the desired address. If the instruction location is already at a multiple of boundary, #ALIGN has no effect. |
