Sometimes reading docs gets me more confused. I could find nothing in
gas info about local labels. The TI assembler docs say to use $n. The
example code swuart.s uses a form .label:, which I thought might be
local labels, but info says it is peculiar to the HPPA version of as. So
what does .label: mean in swuart.s? Is $n useable? Does it need a :
afterwards? The TI docs sometimes have a colon after the label and
sometimes not. In general, can msp430-as assemble TI code examples?
Sorry for all the questions.
