IAS supports aliasing of symbol names and section names. Aliasing is implemented as follows:
symbol names |
Aliased by an .alias directive. The alias name appears in the symbol table of the output file. |
section names |
Aliased by a .secalias directive. The alias name appears in the symbol table of the output file. See the .secalias Directive section for more information. |
Aliasing is fully defined in the Intel® Itanium(TM) Architecture Assembly Language Reference Guide.
