- <dt><code>.bss <var>symbol</var>, <var>length</var>, <var>align</var></code></dt>
- <dd><p>Reserve <var>length</var> bytes in the bss section for a local <var>symbol</var>,
- aligned to the power of two specified by <var>align</var>. <var>length</var> and
- <var>align</var> must be positive absolute expressions. This directive
- differs from ‘<samp>.lcomm</samp>’ only in that it permits you to specify
- an alignment. See <a href="Lcomm.html#Lcomm"><code>.lcomm</code></a>.

- <dt><code>.extended <var>flonums</var></code></dt>
- <dd><p><code>.extended</code> expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas; for
- each flonum, ‘<samp>.extended</samp>’ emits an <small>IEEE</small> extended-format (80-bit)

- </dd>
- <dt><code>.leafproc <var>call-lab</var>, <var>bal-lab</var></code></dt>
- <dd><p>You can use the ‘<samp>.leafproc</samp>’ directive in conjunction with the
- optimized <code>callj</code> instruction to enable faster calls of leaf
- procedures. If a procedure is known to call no other procedures, you
- may define an entry point that skips procedure prolog code (and that does
- not depend on system-supplied saved context), and declare it as the
- <var>bal-lab</var> using ‘<samp>.leafproc</samp>’. If the procedure also has an
- entry point that goes through the normal prolog, you can specify that
- entry point as <var>call-lab</var>.
- </p>
- <p>A ‘<samp>.leafproc</samp>’ declaration is meant for use in conjunction with the
- optimized call instruction ‘<samp>callj</samp>’; the directive records the data
- needed later to choose between converting the ‘<samp>callj</samp>’ into a
- <code>bal</code> or a <code>call</code>.
- </p>
- <p><var>call-lab</var> is optional; if only one argument is present, or if the
- two arguments are identical, the single argument is assumed to be the
- <code>bal</code> entry point.
- </p>
- <a name="index-sysproc-directive_002c-i960"></a>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>.sysproc <var>name</var>, <var>index</var></code></dt>
- <dd><p>The ‘<samp>.sysproc</samp>’ directive defines a name for a system procedure.
- After you define it using ‘<samp>.sysproc</samp>’, you can use <var>name</var> to
- refer to the system procedure identified by <var>index</var> when calling
- procedures with the optimized call instruction ‘<samp>callj</samp>’.
- </p>
- <p>Both arguments are required; <var>index</var> must be between 0 and 31
- (inclusive).
