Debugging Directives

When you enable the debugger, the assembler automatically generates some debug information for your project. However, you can use these directives in the debug section to provide additional information to the debugger:

• file
  Specifies the source-code file; enables correlation of generated assembly code and source code.
• function
  Tells the assembler to generate debugging data for the specified subroutine.
• line
  Specifies the absolute line number (of the current source file) for which the assembler generates subsequent code or data.
• size
  Specifies a length for a symbol.
• type
  Specifies the type of a symbol.
