What does code pattern like .size X,.-X do?
问题 My question is about some popular but not well documented code I have found in ARM CORTEX M startup files like this STM32. The 'pattern' is: .size X,.-X ,where X is a symbol or label. I have found this answer and understand how .size directive and dot special symbol work, but still complete line seems to do nothing to me. The result of the operation .-X isn't stored anywhere. Could anybody explain what the line does? 回答1: That is placed at the end of function X, and the size of the function
