I waited to see if anybody had any idea of what you meant by "pseudo instructions", but I guess everybody else is just a mystified as I am.......ramachandran wrote:what are the pseudo instructions available in assembler?
A pseudo-operation, commonly called a pseudo-op, is an instruction to the assembler that does not generate any machine code. The assembler resolves pseudo-ops during assembly, unlike machine instructions, which are resolved only at runtime. Pseudo-ops are sometimes called assembler instructions, assembler operators, or assembler directives.
