<p>Assembly programs are encoded as plain text files and contain four main elements:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Comments</strong>: comments are textual notes that are often used to document information on the code.</li>
<li><strong>Labels</strong>: labels are "markers" that represent program locations.</li>
<li><strong>Instructions</strong>: Assembly instructions are instructions that are converted by the assembler into machine instructions.</li>
<li><strong>Directives</strong>: Assembly directives are commands used to coordinate the assembling process.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="assembly-language">Assembly Language</h2>

<p><strong>Labels</strong> are "markers" that represent program <em>locations</em>. They can be inserted into an assembly program to "mark" a program position so that it can be referred to by assembly instructions.</p>

<p>Assemblers usually accept two kinds of labels: <strong>symbolic</strong> and <strong>numeric</strong> labels.</p>
<p>Symbolic labels are defined by an <em>identifier</em> followed by <code>:</code>.
They are stored as symbols in the symbol table and are often used to identify global variables and routines.</p>
<p>Numeric labels are defined by a <em>single decimal digit</em> followed by <code>:</code>.
They are used for local reference and are <em>not included</em> in the symbol table of executable files. They can be redefined repeatedly in the same assembly program. </p>
<p>References to numeric labels contain a <em>suffix</em> that indicates whether the reference is to a numeric label positioned before (<code>b</code> suffix) or after (<code>f</code> suffix) the reference.</p>
<h3 id="symbols">Symbols</h3>
<p>Program <strong>symbols</strong> are "names" that are associated with <em>numerical values</em> and the <strong>symbol table</strong> is a data structure that maps each program symbol to its value.<br />
Labels are automatically converted into program symbols by the assembler and associated with a numerical value that represents its position in the program, which is a memory address.</p>
<p>It's possible to explicitly define symbols with the <code>.set</code> (or <code>.equ</code>) directive.</p>

<h3 id="references-relocations">References &amp; Relocations</h3>
<p>Each reference to a label must be replaced by an address during the assembling and linking processes. <strong>Relocation</strong> is the process in which the code and data are assigned new memory addresses so that they do not conflict with addresses of coming from the other linked sources.</p>
<p>The <strong>relocation table</strong> is a data structure that contains information that describes how the program instructions and data need to be modified to reflect the addresses reassignment. Each object file contains a relocation table and the linker uses their information to adjust the code when performing the relocation process.</p>
<h3 id="global-vs-local-symbols">Global vs Local Symbols</h3>
<p>Symbols are classified as <em>local</em> or <em>global</em> symbols.</p>
<p><strong>Local symbols</strong> are only visible on the same file, i.e., the linker does not use them to resolve undefined references on other files.<br />
<strong>Global symbols</strong>, on the other hand, are used by the linker to resolve undefined reference on other files.</p>
<p>By default, the assembler registers labels as local symbols. The <code>.globl</code> directive instructs the assembler to register a label as a global symbol.</p>

</blockquote>
<h2 id="program-sections">Program Sections</h2>
<p>Executable and object files, and assembly programs are usually organized in <strong>sections</strong>.<br />
A section may contain data or instructions, and the contents of each section are mapped to a set of consecutive main memory addresses.</p>
<p>The following sections are often present on executable files generated for Linux-based systems:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>.text</code>: a section dedicated to store the program instructions.</li>
<li><code>.data</code>: a section dedicated to store initialized global variables.</li>
<li><code>.bss</code>: a section dedicated to store uninitialized global variables.</li>
<li><code>.rodata</code>: a section dedicated to store constants.</li>
</ul>
<p>When linking multiple object files, the linker groups information from sections with the same name and places them together into a single section on the executable file.</p>
<p>To instruct the assembler to add the assembled information into other sections, the programmer (or the compiler) may use the <code>.section &lt;name&gt;</code> directive.</p>

<h3 id="assembly-instructions">Assembly Instructions</h3>
<p>Assembly instructions are instructions that are converted by the assembler into machine instructions.<br />
They are usually encoded as a string that contains a <strong>mnemonic</strong> and a sequence of parameters, known as <strong>operands</strong>.</p>
<p>A <strong>pseudo-instruction</strong> is an assembly instruction that does not have a corresponding machine instruction on the ISA, but can be translated automatically by the assembler into one or more alternative machine instructions to achieve the same effect.</p>
<p>The operands of assembly instructions may contain:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>A register name</strong>: a register name identifies one of the ISA registers.</li>
</ul>
<!-- RV32I ISA registers are numbered from 0 to 31 and are named x0, x1, ..., x31.
RV32I registers may also be identified by their aliases, for example, a0, t1, ra, etc.-->
<ul>
<li><strong>An immediate value</strong>: an immediate value is a numerical constant that is directly encoded into the machine instruction as a sequence of bits.</li>
<li><strong>A symbol name</strong>: symbol names identify symbols on the symbol table and are replaced by their respective values during the assembling and linking processes.
Their value are encoded into the machine instruction as a sequence of bits.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="immediate-values">Immediate Values</h3>
<p>Immediate values are represented on assembly language by a sequence of alphanumeric characters.</p>
<ul>
<li>Sequences started with the <code>0x</code> and the <code>0b</code> prefixes are interpreted as hexadecimal and binary numbers, respectively. </li>
<li>Octal numbers are represented by a sequence of numeric digits starting with digit <code>0</code>. </li>
<li>Sequences of numeric digits starting with digits <code>1</code> to <code>9</code> are interpreted as decimal numbers.</li>
<li>Alphanumeric characters represented between single quotation marks are converted to numeric values using the ASCII table</li>
<li>To denote a negative integer, it suffices to add the <code>-</code> prefix.</li>

<p>The <code>.bss</code> section is dedicated for storing <em>uninitialized</em> global variables.<br />
These variables need to be allocated on memory, but they do not need to be initialized by the loader when a program is executed. As a consequence, their initial value do not need to be stored on executable nor object files.</p>
<p>To allocate variables on the <code>.bss</code> section it suffices to declare a label to identify the variable and advance the <code>.bss</code> location counter by the amount of bytes the variable require, so further variables are allocated on other address.<br />
The <code>.skip N</code> directive is a directive that advances the location counter by <code>N</code> units and can be used to allocate space for variables on the <code>.bss</code> section.</p>

<p>Some ISA's require instructions or multi-byte data to be stored on addresses that are multiple of a given number.</p>
<p>The proper way of ensuring the location counter is aligned is by using the <code>.align N</code> directive.<br />
The <code>.align N</code> directive checks if the location counter is a <em>multiple</em> of <code>2^N</code>, if it is, it has no effect on the program, otherwise, it advances the location counter to the next value that is a multiple of <code>2^N</code>.</p>
