经常碰到那些以“.”打头的一些令人头疼的伪指令，
至于.globl _start .balign .align .data .text等等就算了，最最bt的如下：
_undefined_instruction: .word undefined_instruction
这个.word令人费解。网上的技术人员都不屑回答，说请参考GNU ASM。我去看了，对于.word解释如下：
http://tigcc.ticalc.org/doc/gnuasm.html#SEC49
.word
Syntax: .word expressions
Thisdirective expects zero or more expressions, of any section, separatedby commas. For each expression, as emits a 16-bit number for thistarget.
以及as.info文档：
7.92 .word expressions
This directive expects zero or more expressions, of any section, separated by commas.
The size of the number emitted, and its byte order, depend on what target computer
the assembly is for.
Warning: Special Treatment to support Compilers
Machines with a 32-bit address space, but that do less than 32-bit addressing, require
the following special treatment. If the machine of interest to you does 32-bit addressing
(or doesn’t require it; see Chapter 8 [Machine Dependencies], page 61), you can ignore this
issue.
In order to assemble compiler output into something that works, as occasionally does
strange things to ‘.word’ directives. Directives of the form ‘.word sym1-sym2’ are often
emitted by compilers as part of jump tables. Therefore, when as assembles a directive of
the form ‘.word sym1-sym2’, and the difference between sym1 and sym2 does not fit in 16
bits, as creates a secondary jump table, immediately before the next label. This secondary
jump table is preceded by a short-jump to the first byte after the secondary table. This
short-jump prevents the flow of control from accidentally falling into the new table. Inside
the table is a long-jump to sym2. The original ‘.word’ contains sym1 minus the address of
the long-jump to sym2.
If there were several occurrences of ‘.word sym1-sym2’ before the secondary jump table,
all of them are adjusted. If there was a ‘.word sym3-sym4’, that also did not fit in sixteen
bits, a long-jump to sym4 is included in the secondary jump table, and the .word directives
are adjusted to contain sym3 minus the address of the long-jump to sym4; and so on, for as
many entries in the original jump table as necessary.
看了以后仍然一头雾水。
我把bin文件反汇编，想通过这种方法来找找这个.word究竟干什么。

对应的反汇编：

这么看来，
_undefined_instruction: .word undefined_instruction
这句对应的反汇编是：
mvnccs r0,#0x10 ;
这么一来我又更糊涂了。
到ChinaUnix求助。幸好碰到一位热心的网友wheelz，详细地给我解答了。
帖子链接如下：
http://www.linuxforum.net/forum/showflat.p...K&Number=563178
现在总结wheelz的回答，说说这个.word的作用。
word expression就是在当前位置放一个word型的值，这个值就是expression
举例来说，
_rWTCON:
.word 0x15300000
就是在当前地址，即_rWTCON处放一个值0x15300000
翻译成intel的汇编语句就是：
_rWTCON dw 0x15300000
就是在当前位置放个expression的值。 原来如此啊。
PS:
贴一个##的作用。
#define _syscall0(type,name) \
type name(void) \
{ \
long __res; \
__asm__ volatile ("int $0x80" \
: "=a" (__res) \
: "0" (__NR_##name)); \
if (__res >= 0) \
return (type) __res; \
errno = -__res; \
return -1; \
}
__NR_##name是系统调用号，##指的是两次宏展开．即用实际的系统调用名字代替"name",然后再把__NR_...展开．如name == ioctl，则为__NR_ioct
