Labels
A label is written as a symbol immediately followed by a colon (:). The symbol then represents the current value of the active location
counter, and is, for example, a suitable instruction operand. You are warned if you
use the same symbol to represent two different locations: the first definition
overrides any other definitions.
On the HPPA, the usual form for a label need not be immediately followed by a
colon, but instead must start in column zero. Only one label may be defined on
a single line. To work around this, the HPPA version of
as also provides a special directive, .label, for defining labels more flexibly.
