aligned to the power of two specified by <var>align</var>. <var>length</var> and

differs from ‘<samp>.lcomm</samp>’ only in that it permits you to specify

<dd><p><code>.extended</code> expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas; for

<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.

<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).
