1 =============
1 
1 This directive is used by some assemblers to place tags in object files.
1 The behavior of this directive varies depending on the target.  When
1 using the a.out object file format, 'as' simply accepts the directive
1 for source-file compatibility with existing assemblers, but does not
1 emit anything for it.  When using COFF, comments are emitted to the
1 '.comment' or '.rdata' section, depending on the target.  When using
1 ELF, comments are emitted to the '.comment' section.
