`.space SIZE , FILL'
This directive emits SIZE bytes, each of value FILL. Both SIZE and
FILL are absolute expressions. If the comma and FILL are omitted, FILL
is assumed to be zero. This is the same as `.skip'.
_Warning:_ `.space' has a completely different meaning for HPPA
targets; use `.block' as a substitute. See `HP9000 Series 800
Assembly Language Reference Manual' (HP 92432-90001) for the
meaning of the `.space' directive. *Note HPPA Assembler
Directives: HPPA Directives, for a summary.
On the AMD 29K, this directive is ignored; it is accepted for
compatibility with other AMD 29K assemblers.
_Warning:_ In most versions of the GNU assembler, the directive
`.space' has the effect of `.block' *Note Machine Dependencies::.
