关于GRUB中boot.s源代码中"."的作用

[boshaobb]

146. . = _start + GRUB_BOOT_MACHINE_BPB_START
147. . = _start + 4
请问此处的两个“.”是什么意思，有什么作用呢，查AT&T汇编好像没有定义。谢谢了

jmp LOCAL(after_BPB) nop . = _start + GRUB_BOOT_MACHINE_BPB_START . = _start + 4 但他前面和后面都有汇编语句。哪编译器会怎样处理这两条语句呢？

不好意思，猜错了，那就info as. File: as.info, Node: Dot, Next: Symbol Attributes, Prev: Symbol Names, Up: Symbols 5.4 The Special Dot Symbol ========================== The special symbol `.' refers to the current address that `as' is assembling into. Thus, the expression `melvin: .long .' defines `melvin' to contain its own address. Assigning a value to `.' is treated the same as a `.org' directive. Thus, the expression `.=.+4' is the same as saying `.space 4'.

两个上下文都是当前位置的意思，搞混了，不好意思。

这不是汇编指令吧？这是ld script的语法。 info ld ile: ld.info, Node: Location Counter, Next: Operators, Prev: Orphan Sections, Up: Expressions 3.10.5 The Location Counter --------------------------- The special linker variable "dot" `.' always contains the current output location counter. Since the `.' always refers to a location in an output section, it may only appear in an expression within a `SECTIONS' command. The `.' symbol may appear anywhere that an ordinary symbol is allowed in an expression.
