1 7.26 '.equiv SYMBOL, EXPRESSION'
1 ================================
1 
1 The '.equiv' directive is like '.equ' and '.set', except that the
1 assembler will signal an error if SYMBOL is already defined.  Note a
1 symbol which has been referenced but not actually defined is considered
1 to be undefined.
1 
1    Except for the contents of the error message, this is roughly
1 equivalent to
1      .ifdef SYM
1      .err
1      .endif
1      .equ SYM,VAL
1    plus it protects the symbol from later redefinition.
