Variable size/Set: Difference between revisions

For programs that are executed solely from ROM, such as video game console cartridges, you won't be able to use the above method. The assembler can often use an <code>enum</code> or <code>rsset</code> directive to sequentially assign labels to a series of consecutive memory locations in the system's RAM. Assemblers that don't have an <code>enum</code> or <code>rsset</code> directive can use the <code>equ</code> directive instead. This method lets you immediately see what each memory location actually is, but it makes it harder to insert a new one without having to redo all the numbering. These variables are located in the heap and thus there is no need to use <code>EVEN</code> directives to align this data.
