5.8.8 Rept Directive
The .rept count
directive repeat the
sequence of lines between the .rept
directive and the
next .endr
directive,
count
times. Specifying
count
as zero is allowed, but no output is generated.
Negative values for count
are not permitted and if
encountered will be treated as if they were zero.
For example, assembling:
.rept 3
.long 0
.endr
is equivalent to assembling:.long 0
.long 0
.long 0
