apply.
HI-TECH linker permits relocation of complex expressions, so the results of expressions involving
relocatable identifiers may not be resolved until link time.
4.3.9 Program Sections
Program sections, or psects, are simply a section of code or data. They are a way of grouping together
parts of a program (via the psect’s name) even though the source code may not be physically adjacent
in the source file, or even where spread over several source files.
A psect is identified by a name and has several attributes. The PSECT assembler directive is used
to define a psect. It takes as arguments a name and an optional comma-separated list of flags. See

of which are compiler-generated or user-defined psects. Unless defined as abs (absolute), psects are
relocatable.

The operators listed may all be freely combined in both constant and relocatable expressions. The
The assembler associates no significance to the name of a psect and the linker is also not aware
The following is an example showing some executable instructions being placed in the text32
The concept of a program section is not a HI-TECH-only feature. Often referred to as
blocks or segments in other compilers, these grouping of code and data have long used
the names text, bss and data.
