`.size' (COFF version)
This directive is generated by compilers to include auxiliary
debugging information in the symbol table. It is only permitted inside
`.def'/`.endef' pairs.
`.size' is only meaningful when generating COFF format output; when
`as' is generating `b.out', it accepts this directive but ignores it.
`.size NAME , EXPRESSION' (ELF version)
This directive is used to set the size associated with a symbol NAME.
The size in bytes is computed from EXPRESSION which can make use of
label arithmetic. This directive is typically used to set the size of
function symbols.
